Who is empowered to confer upon any person the powers of Collector under the Punjab Land Revenue Act?

Under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, the Government holds the ultimate authority to confer powers of a Collector upon any person. This is a significant executive function related to the administration of land revenue laws.

• The Board of Revenue (B) is a high-level administrative body but does not typically have the power to confer such fundamental statutory powers; its role is more supervisory and appellate.
• The Executive District Officer (Revenue) (C) and the Collector of the District (D) are officers who exercise powers conferred upon them; they do not have the authority to confer Collector's powers on others.
