Eligible participants are landless tenants or self-cultivators owning no more than four acres, residing in the same village or revenue estate, or adjoining villages if local eligible residents are unavailable.

Before auction proceedings, participants must deposit one-fourth of reserve rent with the Executive Engineer and sign or thumb-mark the lease conditions. The Chief Engineer must decide on approval within seven days. Possession follows approval and payment of one year’s rent, adjusted for the initial deposit. First-year rent is payable within 15 days of grant; subsequent rent carries a 15% annual increase. Defaults exceeding six months may lead to cancellation after a hearing, and arrears are recoverable as land revenue.

Assignment, subletting, mortgaging and transfer are prohibited. Eligible existing illicit cultivators who have paid the required Tawan receive first refusal. Lessees must undertake prescribed local-tree planting, avoid obstructing river flow and execute a bond to surrender land needed for public purposes, subject to standing-crop protections. Taxes are payable by successful bidders. Fraud can result in cancellation, and the department may stop, postpone or cancel proceedings.
