The West Bengal Town and Country (Planning and Development) (Amendment) Act, 2023 is a legislative amendment passed by the West Bengal Legislature. It modifies the foundational 1979 urban planning and development law governing land use, development authorities, and spatial planning across West Bengal. Specifically, this Act removes particular definitions from section 2—namely clauses 2a and 9—and completely repeals section 106B of the primary legislation. It applies to planning authorities, local bodies, real estate developers, and property owners operating within urban and rural planning areas in West Bengal. By eliminating these specific provisions, the amendment streamlines statutory definitions and legal procedures governing regional planning and land development controls.
