Bare Act
The Tripura Agricultural Land Leasing Act, 2021
The Tripura Agricultural Land Leasing Act, 2021 creates a legal framework for leasing agricultural land in Tripura while protecting landowner rights. It applies to landowners and tenant farmers engaging in agriculture and allied activities. The law allows written lease agreements for up to nine years and eleven months, permitting tenants to access institutional credit, crop insurance, and government relief. Crucially, the legislation ensures that leasing land does not create permanent tenancy, occupancy rights, or protected status for the cultivator, guaranteeing automatic land resumption by the landowner upon lease expiry. This framework encourages landowners to lease out fallow land without fear of losing ownership.
