To buy a agricultural land without being a farmer To buy a agricultural land without being a farmer

5 years ago

There is a law that one cannot buy a farmland if you don't already own a farmland. I don't have a farmland but wish to buy one. Not huge land. So what are the turnarounds? My distant maternal uncle has some farmland whose surname is same as my mother's? Can I buy a land in her name? Also please let me know what are the other options for me.

A.Dear Sir,
If you are not an agriculturist you have to satisfy the following three conditions in Karnataka
===================================================================================
Dear Sir,
It seems are being misguided by someone. Each partner/co-sharer must satisfy the following conditions to purchase the agricultural land.
Agricultural land can be bought in Karnataka after fulfilling certain requirements.

These include:

The annual average income of the person including agricultural income should be less than Rs 25 lakhs.

The person must have had an agricultural land in his name before the year 1974. The person should be an agriculturist or an agricultural worker by profession.

As per Section 79A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961, the non-agricultural income of a purchaser who must be an agriculturist should not exceed Rs 25 lakhs per year. Sale of land granted to members of scheduled caste and tribe is not allowed. Also, sale of land granted by the government is not allowed for a period of 15 years. Agricultural land can be used only for agricultural purposes and no other purposes. Utilising agricultural land for any other purpose is prohibited by law. Agricultural land, which does not come under the Green Belt, can be converted for non-agricultural purposes like residential, commercial, industrial etc, subject to the approval of the Special Deputy Commissioner on payment of the prescribed fees and subject to certain conditions.
Dear Sir,
You must satisfy the following conditions, if not then you must get a certificate showing you are agricultural labor. The later is easy because even Amithab Bachan taken such certificate to legalize his purchase of agricultural fields that is coffee estates.
(i) That he is coming from agricultural family and holding agricultural lands as on prescribed date i.e., 01.03.1974.

(ii) That his individual income is less than Rs. 2,00,000/- per annum and
(iii) That he is having source of income to purchase above agricultural land.
