TAMIL NADU LEVY OF RYOTWARI ASSESSMENT ON FREEHOLD LANDS ACT, 1972 (Tamil Nadu Act 31 of 1973) Received the assent of the President on the 2nd September 1973 and first published in Part IV-Section 4, page 261, of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, dated the 1st October 1973. An Act to provide for the levy of ryotwari assessment on freehold lands in the State of Tamil Nadu. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Tamil Nadu in the Twenty-third Year of the Republic of India as follows: - 1. Short title, extent and commencement. - (1) This Act may be called The Tamil Nadu Levy of Ryotwari Assessment on Free-hold Lands Act, 1972. (2) It extends to the whole of the State of Tamil Nadu. (3) It shall come into force on such date as the State Government may, I by notification, appoint. Object & Reasons Statement of Objects and Reasons - Tamil Nadu Levy of Ryotwari Assessment on Free-hold Lands Act, 1972 (Tamil Nadu Act 31 of 1973). - Since the year 1859, certain lands are held free from demand of land revenue after payment of twenty times the annual assessment due on them or on concessional rate of assessment. These lands are called free-hold lands. These lands are only ryotwari lands with the difference that while the owners of other ryotwari lands are liable to pay the annual assessment fixed for-the land, the owners of free-hold lands are not liable to pay any assessment or are liable to pay concessional rate of assessment only. The free-holders are situated in almost all the districts in the State. Whatever may be the justification for the grant of these lands as freeholds in the past on the basis of some capitalisation of the assessment, there is not justification to permit the present owners of the land to hold the lands as free-holds indefinitely. The Government have, therefore, decided to abolish all free-holds in the State, so that these lands can come under the normal ryotwari pattern of paying annual revenue with cess, etc. 2.
