Arunachal Pradesh Land Settlement and Records Amendment Bill, 2018 was passed by voice vote in the assembly to ensure ownership rights to indigenous tribal people, including communities and clans having land possession certificates (LPCs) in the state.
State lands were regulated by customary laws and people were deprived of any document to claim ownership, though the state graduated to parliamentary democracy in 1975. Thus, they were unable to either mortgage their lands to seek loans from a bank or able to land on a long-term lease to any investor or claim compensation if taken by the government.

The historic bill recognizes ownership rights of indigenous people to give land on long-term lease up to 33 years, extendable to another 33 years for small and big ventures. This revolutionary act could facilitate investment flow by boosting the local economy.
