REHABILITATION GRANT Rehabilitation grant is actually a part of the payment of the compensation. Compensation and rehabilitation grant,
both are payable to ex-Zamindars whose Zamindari (estates) have been acquired. The compensation is the payment of amount in lieu of property
what the owner has been deprived of. The aim of the rehabilitation grant is to afford reasonable help to the smaller Zamindars, who have been
uprooted from their avocations, so that they may have enough to rehabilitate themselves and make fresh start in life. The rehabilitation grant takes
also into account the economic circumstances of a displaced Zamindar. That is why the rehabilitation grant is not payable to all the intermediaries
(Zamindars), and intermediaries entitled to be paid are given this grant at a graded scale. The smallest intermediary paying land revenue upto Rs.
25 annually is tobe paid 20 times of the net assets (net income) as a rehabilitation grant, While the intermediary paying land revenue upto Rs.
10,000 annually is entitled equal to the net assets only. Thus the grant is the largest for low incomes and the smallest for those with comparatively
larger incomes. Persons entitled (1) Rehabilitation grant shall be paid to those intermediaries whose annual land-revenue does not exceed Rs.
10,000. Intermediaries paying land revenue more than Rs. 10,000 annually are not entitled to get this grant. (2) Thekadars are not entitled to this
grant. (3) If the ex-intermediary is a wakf, trust or an endowment established for religious or charitable purpose, it shall be entitled to the grant
irrespective of the amount of land revenue. That is, waqf trust or endowment aforesaid 'is entitled to get this grant even if it pays land revenue of
more than rupees ten thousand. Amount of the Rehabilitation grant Rehabilitation grant to waqf, trust or endowment established for religious
and/or charitable purpose shall be paid in the shape of "annuity― which shall be equal to the net assets of all estates comprised in the waqf, etc.
But the interest on the amount of compensation payable shall be deducted from this amounts Briefly it can be said that the annual income of the
religious or charitable waqf, trust or endowment has been kept intact, and the abolition of Zamindari in our State does not affect the annual net
income of the aforesaid institutions.
