Land buying procedure to speed up
To provide the -bound clearances involving the stringent provisions of Section 118 of the HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, the state government has finally notified a time-schedule in order to cut down on the delays that had happened in granting this approval to non-agriculturists.
Since all the non- Himachalis and the non-agriculturists are supposed to take this permission from the state government for buying land for pursuing a commercial activity; the inordinate delays which is extending up to several months had been deterring the investors. In [a notification that had been issued by the Principal Secretary, Revenue, on September 12, all processes have been made time-bound.
The draft circulation of this notification had been notified early during this year and it was only after inviting the objections and the suggestions from the people that the final notification has been issued. An investor, after seeking an essentiality certificate from the department concern stated that it will have to apply to the state government, which will be deciding its case within the coming 15 days now.
