What is CNT Act in Jharkhand?
CNT
The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act, which governs most of Jharkhand and restricts transfer of land held by a member of a Scheduled Tribe. It is the first thing to establish about a parcel in the state, because a sale that ignores it is not merely irregular. What is permitted on a specific parcel is a question for the Anchal Adhikari and an advocate.
