Old Grants
Some land within the notified Cantonments has historically remained in occupation of private persons. Such land was earlier allowed by the Government to be occupied on licence basis on tenures which subsequently came to be known as Old Grants. These provide for resumption of the sites on payment of compensation for the authorised structures erected thereon. There are about 49000 Old Grant sites covering an area of about 7500 acres.
