The West Bengal Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 2023

Civil20235 sections

This legislation modifies the West Bengal Land Reforms Act of 1955 to facilitate the management of land for industrial and commercial projects. It targets specific entities like industrial parks and townships, allowing them to transfer land on a freehold basis rather than only via lease. Additionally, it permits current leaseholders of non-agricultural land to convert into freehold owners. The changes are intended to streamline administrative procedures, encourage foreign and domestic investment, and reduce the time and hassle associated with land ownership transactions in the state.
