The Hyderabad (Abolition of Cash Grants) (Amendment) Act, 1960

General19607 sections

This Act amends the 1952 legislation that ended historical "cash grants"—periodic payments or stipends—previously issued by the Hyderabad state. It formalizes the abolition of these grants while ensuring fairness by providing compensation equal to four times the annual grant amount. It creates specific exceptions for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, widows, and minors, allowing them to continue receiving support under defined conditions. The Act establishes a clear administrative process for claiming this compensation, handling appeals through the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, and recovering any excess payments previously made to grantees. It balances state fiscal policy with the protection of individual beneficiaries.
