About the Centre

The Centre for Law and Urban Development (CLUD) aims to bring together the student, industry and the academia working towards enhancing the understanding and teaching of property, housing, urban development and other related laws. The Centre also has a wide network which regularly connects, interacts and debates on simplifying and shaping the legal regime of property laws, real estate laws, environmental laws and other related areas of urban development for the upcoming generations.

The Centre for Tax Laws (CTL) was established in 2018 under National Law University, Delhi to work in the area of tax laws. The centre aims to facilitate a high-level research environment where the student community appreciates the significance of tax laws and gets experiential learning from the established experts in this field. Additionally, the centre also wants to consistently provide policy interventions in the form of comments, and feedback to the government as reforming the taxation laws is high on its agenda.
