Land ownership around the state&#8217;s oldest religious and cultural institutions \u2014 many of which are neo-Vaishnavite <em>sattras<\/em> founded by Srimanta Sankardeva and Madhabdeva \u2014 has long been a sensitive issue, with communities and civil society groups raising concerns about demographic change around these sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A first version of this law was passed by the Assam Assembly in 2024, defining &#8220;original inhabitants&#8221; as those whose families had lived in a specified area for three generations prior to the Act&#8217;s commencement. However, that 2024 law was never notified or brought into force. The Assam Land and Revenue Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026 revises, sharpens, and reintroduces those provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Is the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bill amends the Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, one of the state&#8217;s foundational land laws, by inserting a new chapter dealing specifically with land around <strong>heritage institutions<\/strong>. It was tabled by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pijush Hazarika on behalf of Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Keshab Mahanta, and was passed alongside four other bills on the concluding day of the Budget Session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Highlights_of_Assam_Land_and_Revenue_Regulation_Bill\"><\/span><strong>Key Highlights of <\/strong> <strong>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation Bill<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bill name<\/strong><\/td><td>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Passed on<\/strong><\/td><td>29 July 2026 (last day of Assam Assembly Budget Session)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tabled by<\/strong><\/td><td>Pijush Hazarika, on behalf of Minister Keshab Mahanta<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Applies to<\/strong><\/td><td>Religious\/heritage institutions 250+ years old<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Protected radius<\/strong><\/td><td>5 km around notified institutions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Eligible buyers in the zone<\/strong><\/td><td>&#8220;Original inhabitants,&#8221; Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>&#8220;Original inhabitant&#8221; cutoff<\/strong><\/td><td>Family resident in the area for 3 generations up to 1 January 2006<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>1 generation defined as<\/strong><\/td><td>25 years of continuous residence<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Enforcement authority<\/strong><\/td><td>District Commissioners (DCs)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Predecessor law<\/strong><\/td><td>2024 Amendment (passed but never enforced)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_5-Kilometre_Protected_Heritage_Zone_in_Assam_Land_and_Revenue_Regulation\"><\/span><strong>The 5-Kilometre Protected Heritage Zone<\/strong> in <strong>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the new law, any religious or cultural institution that is at least <strong>250 years old<\/strong> can be notified as a heritage institution. Once notified, a <strong>5-km radius<\/strong> around it becomes a Protected Heritage Zone. Within this zone, land transactions \u2014 sale, transfer, lease, exchange, or settlement \u2014 are restricted, and non-eligible persons need prior government approval to acquire land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has repeatedly named specific sites expected to fall under this protection, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Kamakhya Temple<\/strong>, Guwahati<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barpeta Satra<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Majuli&#8217;s Vaishnavite sattras<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Batadrava Than<\/strong>, the birthplace of Srimanta Sankardeva<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Poa Mecca<\/strong>, Hajo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma clarified in the Assembly that the restrictions apply only to a limited, notified list of institutions and are not a blanket, state-wide rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Assam_Land_and_Revenue_Regulation_Bill_Defines_%E2%80%9COriginal_Inhabitant%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>How the <strong>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Bill Defines &#8220;Original Inhabitant&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8220;original inhabitant&#8221; (often used interchangeably with the Assamese term <em>bhumiputra<\/em>) has never had a formal legal definition in Assam&#8217;s land laws before the 2024 and 2026 bills. Under <strong>Clause 3(s)<\/strong> of the 2026 Amendment, a person qualifies as an original inhabitant of a specified area if they and their family have resided there continuously for <strong>three generations<\/strong>, with each generation calculated as <strong>25 years<\/strong>, counted back from <strong>1 January 2006<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under <strong>Section 177<\/strong>, anyone who does not meet this definition faces restrictions on transferring, leasing, exchanging, or settling land in the protected zone without prior government clearance. The law also gives District Commissioners powers to identify and take action against ineligible occupants and encroachers in these zones, while carving out protections for certain specified categories of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Bills Passed the Same Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The land amendment was one of five bills cleared by the Assembly on 29 July 2026:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Registration (Assam Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indian Stamp (Assam Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assam Fixation of Ceiling on Land Holdings (Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assam State Higher Education Council Bill, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Of these, the land regulation bill dominated debate, consuming far more Assembly time than the other four combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_Assam_Land_and_Revenue_Regulation_Bill_Is_Controversial\"><\/span><strong>Why the <strong>Assam Land and Revenue Regulation<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Bill Is Controversial<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Assembly debate centred on the gap between two dates used in the law: the Assam Accord&#8217;s 1971 cut-off for identifying illegal migrants, and the Bill&#8217;s own 2006 cut-off for proving three generations of residence. Opposition members argued that using two different reference points creates legal ambiguity and could invite constitutional challenges on grounds of equality and property rights under the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community organisations have also raised concerns. The Kalita Alpine Community Association, representing one of Assam&#8217;s older communities, objected that families who migrated <em>within<\/em> Assam during the 1990s or early 2000s \u2014 and settled near heritage sites \u2014 could fail to meet the three-generation test, and that the law does not clearly address inheritance and succession for such families. Civil society voices have separately pointed out practical difficulties: proving continuous multi-generational residence requires documentation (birth, marriage, and land records) that many rural and low-income families simply do not possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has pushed back strongly against claims that the law targets any single religious or ethnic community. Replying to the debate, Chief Minister Sarma maintained that the provisions had already been discussed and approved by the Assembly before, and that their sole purpose is to keep the land around heritage institutions with communities historically associated with them \u2014 not to discriminate against any minority. Following the Minister&#8217;s assurances on the record, Congress MLA Zakir Hussain Sikdar withdrew amendments he had moved to a related bill discussed the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister also gave a specific assurance on the floor of the House: if the &#8220;original inhabitant&#8221; definition is found to have any unintended effect beyond the heritage chapter, the government will amend the law to explicitly restrict its scope to heritage-zone provisions only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Significance_for_Competitive_Exam_Aspirants_UPSCAPSCState_PSC\"><\/span><strong>Significance for Competitive Exam Aspirants (UPSC\/APSC\/State PSC)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Bill is a high-value current affairs topic for <strong>UPSC, APSC, and other state PSC<\/strong> aspirants because it connects several static and dynamic GS themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Polity &amp;
