Andhra Pradesh moves to repeal NALA Act, plans seamless land conversion
VIJAYAWADA : State govt directed the officials to ready the guidelines for repealing the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act, 2006. The Nala Act governs the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use. The cabinet sub-committee comprising finance minister P Keshav, municipal administration minister Dr P Narayana, revenue minister Anagani Satyaprasad held detailed discussions with the officials on the issue on Wednesday. Chief minister Chandrababu Naidu had announced repealing of the NALA Act during the third district collectors' conference in March. The decision to repeal the Act has been taken the grievances of real-estate developers and commoners into consideration. The cabinet sub-committee reviewed the progress on the issue and directed the officials to immediately prepare proposals to simplify land conversion by allowing automatic conversion upon payment of taxes, eliminating the need to visit multiple offices. Speaking to media, the finance minister said they have asked the officials to prepare proposals detailing how land conversion can be simplified for those setting up ventures in municipalities or establishing industries, ensuring minimal bureaucratic hassle. "We will discuss these proposals in the next meeting, and take a final call on the issue," said Keshav. Minister Narayana explained that the decision to repeal the Act was taken to alleviate public inconvenience. He said that several organisations had raised objections to the high NALA tax rates. He said that they have asked the officials to propose how much the tax can be reduced on the existing rates.
