To be eligible under the TAMS II scheme of investments an applicant has to have overall ownership or a valid lease for the site of investment works. An applicant who wants to erect a grant aided fence must have full ownership/lease of the land where the proposed fence is planned for. In the case of a commonage, a farmer or shareholder does not own a defined area of land, he/she typically holds a defined fraction of the total undivided area. However, all shareholders on a commonage have use of the commonage. Therefore, since the Department cannot clearly identify the owner of a defined area, commonage cannot be deemed eligible under this scheme.
