The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly passed nine Bills on Monday, with the AP Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) (Amendment) Bill, 2023, being the key one.
This Bill facilitates the grant of permissions to the original assignees/his or her legal heirs to alienate the assigned lands after a period of 20 years from the date of assignment as per the prescribed procedure without referring the same to the government. It was stated that in case the adjoining lands are earmarked in the master plan for purposes other than agriculture, the assignees will be paid on par with the current basic value of the lands by the purchasers.
