Unauthorised possession rights of Inam lands in Gujarat to be regularised

Gandhinagar: The Gujarat government today announced that Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has taken a key decision in the revenue sector to regularise unauthorised possession rights of various Inam lands in the state.

According to the Chief Minister’s decision, lands that have been re-granted, or are eligible for re-grant but have not yet been re-granted, can now be easily regularised. For this purpose, regularisation can be done by paying an amount equal to 20% of the prevailing Jantri value of the land as possession charges.

The benefit of this decision will be available to occupants of lands that have been re-granted but where possession charges have not been paid, lands that are eligible for re-grant but could not be re-granted for any reason, and to heirs who are the holders of such lands.

Even in cases where such lands have already been transferred and are currently in the possession of someone else, those occupants will also benefit from this decision. This move is expected to provide significant relief to farmers across the state. DeshGujarat
