Why a buyer or occupier should care
If the land or building you use, lease or plan to take is temple property, this guidance may affect whether your occupation is recognised, what process the department expects, and whether payments must be made through the department's prescribed route. Anyone dealing with temple land should verify with the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department or the temple administration whether their occupation is under lease, licence or another arrangement covered by these proceedings.
