THE ASSAM RURAL DEVELOPMENT CESS ACT, 1988
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by The Assam Rural Development Cess (Repealing) Act, 2022; it may still apply to matters that began before then.

(2) In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision, the State Government may make rules for all or any of the following matters, namely :— (a) the manner in which and conditions subject to which the amount in the Assam Rural Development Fund shall be expended under section 5 ; (b) the manner of payment of cess and the intervals at, the authority to and the manner and form in which returns shall be furnished under section 6 ; (c) the person or authority before which, the manner in which, the time within which and the fee on payment of which the appeal may be filed and the manner in which, such appeal shall be heard and decided, under section 8; (d) the form in which accounts and registers shall be maintained under section 10 ; (e) any other matter which is required or allowed by this Act, to be prescribed.

(4) Every rule made under this Act shall be laid as soon as may be after it is made, before the Assam Legislative Assembly while it is in session for a total period of fourteen days, which may be comprised in one session or in two successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the session in which it is so laid or the session immediately following, the Assam Legislative Assembly agree in making any modification in the rule or the Assam Legislative Assembly agree that the rule should not be made, the rule shall thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so however, that any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done or omitted to be done under that rule.
