The Telangana Land Revenue (Additional Wet Assessment) Act, 1975

Tax197513 sections

This Act regulates the collection of additional taxes on wet agricultural lands in Telangana that receive their water from government-run irrigation systems. It applies directly to landowners, known as pattadars, who must pay this extra surcharge on top of their standard land revenue. This law matters because it increases the financial burden on irrigated farming to help fund public water infrastructure, while offering proportional tax relief if crops fail. Finally, it establishes a clear administrative process for assessing these taxes and resolving disputes through local revenue officers, though it prevents landowners from challenging these specified tax rates in civil courts.
