About this statute

This part sets up the Kerala State Housing Board and gives it the main role in carrying out the Act. The Board may plan housing and improvement schemes, but people generally cannot alter buildings in scheme areas without permission, and the Board must give notice and pay compensation in some cases. The competent authority may order unauthorised occupants to pay damages, and unpaid amounts can be recovered as arrears of public revenue. Appeals go to the Government, which can hear late appeals for sufficient cause and may stay execution. This part gives the Board and Government powers over land survey, entry, directions, rules, reporting, and Board supersession or dissolution, and sets some service and signature rules for documents.
