A Goan mundkar's dwelling is typically located on land, which can include land designated as "settlement land". The legal rights of mundkars are specifically governed by the Goa, Daman and Diu Mundkars (Protection from Eviction) Act, 1975, which allows them to purchase the land their dwelling stands on. Mundkar, person who, with the owner's permission, constructed a dwelling house on land that did not belong to them and resides there and the mundkar is entitled to purchase the land occupied by their dwelling as per law.
