Proceedings of the Legislative Council of the United Provinces Friday July 9 1926 Official Report

1926

Practically the whole of the enhancement was in respect of the old non-occupancy rents which bore no proper proportion to the letting value of the land ; the average enhancement even in the case of these rents was 20 to 25 per cent. [...] I hope Sir that this will dissipate the fears of the landlords that the roster year system will lead to an excessive enhancement of the revenue of the petty proprietor. [...] The Hon'ble the Finance Member has questioned the correctness of my statement in the minute of dissent and also that which I indicated here in the course of my speech while moving the amendment that this procedure is likely to lead to enhancement of rev nue which would not be available to the same extent if such a system were not prescribed in the Bill. [...] Therefore the effect of the rostepystem in to enhance the occupancy rents between the period of two settlements with the Jesuit that the level of standard rates will rise and as the latter determine the value of assumption area it naturally follows and I think conclusively that any system which conduces to the enhancement of occupancy rents leads eventually to the enhancement of land revenue [...] One is that the greater part of the cost of the settlement is the revision of records which of course is'not entailed by the roster year system and the other is that it will not be necessary for the roster year officer to make a soilclassification when one has been made recently at a settlement.
