Transfer of lease of forest land

When one user agency transfers the lease on the forest land to another user agency for the same purpose for which the forest land was diverted, prior permission of the central government is required. For this purpose, the state government and the original user agency is required to submit a ‘no-objection certificate’ for such transfer. The new user agency has to submit an undertaking that they shall abide by all the conditions on which the forest land was leased to the original user agency and any other condition which may be stipulated by the central or state government in future.
