Abstract: The Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance, and Redevelopment Act, 1971) aims to address slum-related challenges in Maharashtra by improving living conditions and facilitating redevelopment. It includes provisions for identifying slum areas, enhancing infrastructure, and protecting residents from eviction during redevelopment. The Act covers slum clearance, land acquisition, and resettlement, while safeguarding slum dwellers’ rights through legal protections. With a focus on urban renewal and poverty alleviation, the Act balances slum residents’ welfare with sustainable urban development. It provides a comprehensive framework for addressing slum issues through improvement, clearance, and rehabilitation.
