Section 228: Processes for recovery of arrears

The Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956

How current this text is

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Rajasthan (the "updated" English file), with amendments up to Rajasthan Act No. 9 of 2022.

A Rajasthan Land Revenue (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2025 (Bill No. 7 of 2025) inserts section 100-A (Government land placed at the disposal of RIICO for industrial areas) and clause (xvii-a) in section 261(2). Its Act number and assent could not be confirmed from an official source; these changes are not shown in this text.

This copy does not print the Chapter headings of the Act and contains many typing errors (for example "swim partition" and "audible estate" in section 186); the text is reproduced as printed.

An arrear of revenue or rent may be recovered by one or more of the following processes :-

(a) By serving a writ of demand or a citation to appear on any of the defaulters;

(b) By attachment and sale of his movable property;

(c) By attachment of the specific area, share, patti or estate, in respect of which the arrears is due;

(d) By transfer of such share or patti to a solvent co-sharer;

(e) By sale of such specific area or patti or of the whole estate,

(f) By sale of other immovable property of the defaulter:

Provided that the provision of clause (e) shall not be applicable to Jagir land 1[or the estate of a landowner].
