What the notifications govern
The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department notifications change the registration jurisdiction for listed villages and hamlets under the Registration Act, 1908. They affect which registration sub-district and registration district covers property situated in those places from 19 October 2022.
The physical limits of each village are the limits determined from time to time for revenue administration. Some entries cover named hamlets, while others identify particular survey number ranges within a village.
