(2)They shall come into force at once.
2. Amendment of the Rules.- In the Rules for Assignment of Land within Municipal and Corporation Areas 1995, for rule 9, the following rule shall be substituted, namely:-
" 9. Remittance of dues, – The land value, as indicated in the order of Assignment shall be remitted within thirty days from the date of receipt of the order of Assignment. If the assignee does not remit the land value within thirty days from the date of sanctioning the registry, the registry shall be cancelled, the occupants evicted, the land resumed and re-assigned to other eligible families:
Provided that if the occupant had not been evicted, the Commissioner of Land Revenue may, at his discretion and in deserving cases condone the delay in payment of land value up to a period of three years from the date of the order of assignment. In such cases the assignee shall remit the entire dues in a lump within thirty days from the date of the orders of the Commissioner of Land Revenue. If the occupants fail to remit the amount within the time so allowed, they shall be summarily evicted:
Provided further that in all cases where the delay exceeds three years, sanction of Government shall be obtained for condoning the delay.

3Explanatory Note
(This does not form part of the notification, but is intended to indicate its general purport.)
The existing provision in rule 9 of the Rules for Assignment of Land Within Municipal and Corporation Areas, 1995 does not provide for condonation of delay in remittance of land value. If the assignee fails to remit the land value within the stipulated time, there is no provision in the rule allowing the assignee to seek condonation of delay. Hence, Government have decided to remove the difficulties relating to condonation of delay in the remittance of land value in the Rules for Assignment of Land within Municipal and Corporation Areas, 1995.
The notification is intended to achieve the above object.
