Slum Rehabilitation Act 1995
- Slum Rehabilitation Act 1995
The Slum Rehabilitation Act 1995 was passed by the government of the Indian state Maharashtra to protect the rights of slum dwellers and promote the development of slum areas. The Act protected from eviction anyone who could produce a document proving they lived in the city of Mumbai before January 1995, regardless if they lived on the pavement or other kinds of municipal land. The ACT was the result of policy development that included grassroots slum dweller organisations, particularly SPARC.

Through the Act pavement dwellers were for the first time into the classification of households that are entitled to land for relocation. Following the enactment of this legislation, the government of Maharashtra and the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai set out a special policy for planning the relocation of the 20,000 households, using the information from a census Mahila Milan and NSDF completed in 1995.
