The Goa government notified an amendment to the land revenue rules, allowing government-issued reclassification orders under Section 24 of the Goa Land Revenue Code to be reflected in the Record of Rights and Register of Cultivators.
The amendment, titled the Goa Land Revenue (Record of Rights and Register of Cultivators) (Amendment) Rules, 2026, follows the completion of the mandatory pre-publication process in February 2026, the Revenue Department said.
The department had invited objections and suggestions to draft rules within a period of 15 days from the date of publication.
Officials said that no objections or suggestions were received from the public within the stipulated period, clearing the way for the final notification of the amended rules.
Under the amendment, a new clause -- clause (vii) -- has been inserted in the proviso to sub-rule (1) of Rule 10 of the Goa Land Revenue (Record of Rights and Register of Cultivators) Rules, 1969.
It stated that an entry may now be made in cases where an order of reclassification has been issued by the government under Section 24 of the Code.
