Post free ad here Why was the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act implemented?Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act is perhaps one of the first Acts that got implemented in the post-Independence era. Its sole aim was to make land reforms and help the tenants of agricultural land live freely. As per this Act, the land acquired by a tenant cannot be sold or transferred without the approval of the Collector.
Before independence, tenants cultivated lands that belonged to zamindars and had no right over those lands. Zamindars had the right to sell it anytime they wanted. Once the land got sold, the tenants lost their right to cultivate the land as the owner changed which made their lives miserable. Our government realised that it is not right to let the tenants live at the mercy of the zamindars hence this Act was introduced.

Landlords were somehow forced to sell their lands to the tenants at a cheaper rate as per this Act so that the tenants can earn a living cultivating on it. But a tenant was restricted from taking undue advantage or selling the land for a profit after getting possession
