It is also proposed to extend the application of Chapter III A of the Karnataka Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1974 to the whole State and to make the Tahsildar of the Taluk the licensing authority, where there is already no licensing authority. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV - 2A No. 104 dated 6-2-1984 at page 8.) V ` Amending Act 26 of 1986.- The State Government is experiencing a lot of difficulty in getting the vacant lands in Urban Areas of the State for the implementation of Environmental Improvement of Urban Slums under the provisions of the Karnataka Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1973 (Karnataka Act 33 of 1974). One of the main reasons for this is the low rate of compensation fixed (i.e., 100 times of property tax) in the present provision of section 20 of the Karnataka Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1973. Hence, it is proposed to amend section 20 of the said Act to enhance the rate of compensation from the present 100 times to 300 times the Property Tax. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV - 2A No. 60 dated 29-1-1986 at page 3.) VI Amending Act 7 of 1988.- The Government have power to acquire land under Section 17 of Karnataka Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1973 for the purpose of redeveloping the Slum Clearance area or for rehabilitation of the slum dwellers. The Karnataka Slum Clearance Board has no powers to acquire land by agreement. The Board may expedite rehabilitation of slum dwellers if the land is acquired by agreement. Hence it is proposed to introduce a new section 26A giving the Karnataka Slum Clearance Board powers to acquire any land by agreement. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV - 2A No. 75 dated 5-2-1988 at page 3.) VII Amending Act 21 of 2002.- It is considered necessary to amend the Karnataka Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1973 (Karnataka Act 33 of 1974),- (a) to provide for transfer of lands belonging to the Government or a Local Authority to the Board free of cost for the purpose of carrying out improvement, development, clearance or development of the land or erection of building thereon; (b) to empower the Board to carryout development on the land transferred to or rested in the Board and to form layout; (c) to empower the Board to lease, allot, sell or otherwise transfer the sites formed in the layout to the slum dwellers; (d) to provide for recovery of sums due to the Board; (e) to change the composition of the Board; (f) to change the nomenclature of "Chief Executive Officer" as Commissioner and to specify his powers and duties. (obtained from LC Bill No. 1 of 2002 vide file No. DAPL 17 LGN 2001) VII Amending Act 02 of 2014.- The main objective of the Board is to provide basic amenities to the sulm dwellers and to take up developmental works in the slum areas and improve the standard of living of slum dwellers by providing basic facilities. The nomenclature of the Karnataka Slum Clearance Board denotes demolition/wiping out of Slum Areas. The objective is not to demolish or wipe out slums. But, to take steps towards all round Development of Slum Areas. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation and Tourism, Government of India have also suggested to change the nomenclature from "Slum Clearance Baord" to "Slum Development Board".
