The Tamil Nadu Board of Revenue Abolition Act, 1980
The Tamil Nadu Board of Revenue Abolition Act, 1980, is a legislative measure that officially dissolved the Board of Revenue in the state of Tamil Nadu. Historically, this Board served as the highest revenue authority in the state. By enacting this law, the state government transferred all administrative, judicial, and revenue-related powers previously held by the Board to the State Government itself or to designated "Appropriate Authorities," such as Commissioners, Additional Secretaries, or District Collectors. This restructuring streamlined revenue administration, ensuring that decision-making processes were decentralized and brought under more direct government control, thereby simplifying the hierarchy for citizens dealing with land and revenue matters.
