Kohinoor- Can you share what is the approach you take and from where do you help get farmer cert? Also pl share the cost involved so that one can take a decision.
Also do you ensure that the land bought in MH is transferred in our name on this basis?
For those who have not found and read this already on the Net.
PLEASE NOTE this is not my own experience but an
Very%ing article ⊠which speaks of what happens when you follow the process instead of going thru the usual shortcut proven methods sugegsted by the toutsâŠ
A longish post but please bear with me. As per Section 79A&B of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961 any person or his ancestors not owning any agricultural land in his name & who wants to buy agriculture land in Karnataka, the said personâs income should not exceed 2 lakhs per year & the following documents need to be produced:- 1)RTC/Vendorâs Pani 2)Mutation extract 3)Tippani copy 4)Akarband 5)Encumbrance 6) Income certificate 7)The Land is does not come under PTCL, Bhusudarena & Bhusvadena. 8)Affidavit promising land to be used only for agricultural purposes and no other purposes 9) ********** karmika/Agriculturist 10) agreement copy 11)Section 79 A&B endorsements:These are issued by the Tahsildar. 12) AC permission to buy land. As a resident of Bâlore & land 's location in Malavalli taluk, to get the above information took me nearly a month with officials in Taluk office of Bâlore,Malavalli & Mandya not interested/not knowledgeble to give proper information. Finally after reading about Advocate Sridara Babuâs blog & directly contacting ACâc office in Mandya got the above information. First thing when I went to talukâs office toutâs adviced me to get a duplicate Khata costing 4,000/- saying that most people wanting buying land do the same & he has done many such cases,to which i refused as it is illegal. With limited knowledge,pressure form the seller as the agreement period is time bound & the permission process going nowhere with no help from officers finally decided to to bribe as it is inevitable. The bribe details below:- Revenue officer Malavalli to get EC,PTCL & Busdarena done within 20 days & his âfeesâ 5,500/-. Mandya case worker a lady (more a con artist) who seemed to be very understanding very told me âi can understand your pain,the officials here think every Bangalorian is a software engineers earning in lakhs & demand bribe but dont worry i will help youâ. And help me she did⊠1500/- bribe just to start the process of processing the application. told me to get *revenue sketch(not required only survey sketch required) *then Induvidual sketch(n.a) after getting that *then grama nakasha(required) *Akrabandu(required) *tippani copy -all of the above said documents could have been told to get together but the lady case worker In Mandya DCâs office told me get the docs one after another. This involves travelling from Blore to Malavalli Taluk to collect docs & submitting the same docs to Mandya. This process took me 4 months. Once again took 1,500/- to send the documents to Revenue Inspector. The Surveyourâs who is very difficult to get hold of & the bribe to get Induvidual sketch,akarabandu,tippani copy grama nakasha 8,000/-. Then 3,000 to the revenue officer In Mandya to process the applicitation & send it to special land acquisition officer. Finally got the busvadhena done. Then income certificate in Bâlore KG road taluk office 800/-. Family tree -1750/-. After getting all of the above documents submit the docs in Mandya ACâs office who tapal/ sends it to Malavalliâs tasildarâs office. Again after much difficulty located the documents and gave it to the case worker again a lady in Malavalli. Bribe to case worker to send it to revenue official of the respective hobli 1000/-. The revenue official whose job is to check if the documents are in order & write a report stating if the said person is eligible to buy land took over 2 weeks to do the same. Next Rs 2,500 to the shirastedar to process my file. Then the Shrastedar asked the revenue inspector to come to his office where much to my horror the revenue officer asked me to furnish khatha details. If i had khatha in my name why would i approach the AC to give permission to buy land when i could directly register it. When i started to explain the about sec 79a&b(which is not my job, a revenue official is supposed to know the rules) he got angry, took the report back with him & after 2 more weeks sent it to shirestadar in Malavalli stating to know the a)source of funds to buy land b) furnish the details of belonging to a agricltural family which is not required. The shirastedar now has asked me to get the all the documents asked by the revenue officer. In ********** sight i should have listened to the tout paid 4,000 got my property registered than spend more than 25,000 just on the bribe(not including cost & time of travel from Bâlore to Mandya,Malavalli etc cost of fencing,plowing,planting) & the permission to buy land is still pending & iâm not sure if iâll be able to buy land. I started this process in month of october 2011 & now the owner is threatning to cancel the deal as the agreement period was for thee months & i donât blame him. If he does that i stand to lose all the money i spent on land development,bribe most importantly time. When most people are running away from agriculture i have made foolish attempt to get back into agriculture. Also i request Janaagraha to remove âreport an honest offficial from toolkitâ.
Hi Gaurav
So, did you get your farmer certificate? Can you please put in touch with the agent who handled this for you? My cel number is 9820053562
Best wishes
Kishore Nair from Navi Mumbai
Having 7/12 from other state is only enough to get the sale deed registered in MH - not to get the land trf in your name in the revenue register.
The local talathi from tahsilâs office in MH will send a letter to the tahsil from where you have provided the 7/12 certificate and ask them to confirm directly - land will be trf to your name only after the confirmation is received - this is the tough part.
We can organize Farmers Certificate for you. Please contact Mohit on 9167246136 or alternately give your tel no and Mohit wil get in touch with youall you
Regards
Prakash
I re-itereate this for everyones benefit & this is based on teh revenue deptâs understanding of who is a farmer - may vary slightly from state to state.
Having said that, pl note the following -
The last point above may sound simple, but is very arduous and money & time consuming. You need to get contacts established at both ends to ensure this ties in - else getting farmer certificate by itself means nothing.
RSRSIN - many thanks for the very informative reply. What you have mentioned is absolutely correct. So, to get a farmers certificate, it will be best to let the land developer (where one wishes to buy the agri land) handle the back to back arrangement.
Best wishes

ON BUYING FARM LAND
IF YOU ARE NOT A HERIDITORY FARMER THAT MEANS IF YOUR FATHER OR MOTHER IS NOT OWNING AGRICULTURAL LAND THEN YOU CANNOT BE A FARMER. YOU BECOME A FARMER ONLY AFTER THEIR DEATH.
AMITTABH BACHHAN AND MANY BOLLYWOOD BIG SHOTS LOST.
SO DONâT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO PEOPLE AS APPLICATION MONEY.
IF THERE WHERE LOOP HOLES THEN ALL ACTORS WOULD HAVE BECOME FARMERS. THINK.
DROP THE DREAM AND DO WHAT U R DOING NOW, THIS IS INDIA, DONâT LOOSE UR HARD EARNED MONEY.
GOD BLESS YOU.

Hi friends,
I need clarification on the issue as many of you have bought land in Maharashtra. My ancestral land is in Uttarakhand and 7/12 are on my fathers name. I have go the certified copies from the tehsil along with names from the village family register. But I have been told here in Maharashtra I would need a certification from tehsildar pointing out I am a farmer and hold the land in that location.
In Uttarakhand there is no such provision of issuing certificates.
Is it still possible to get registration and transfer of land at Talati just by producing the 7/12 and the proof of relationship? Or does one have to go the Rajasthan/MP route. I donât have strong connection in UK thereforee it is difficult to get work done there by living in Maharasthra. A lawyer at the registrar office mentioned that a certification is required to be able to get the transfer done. That too in Hindi.
Thanks for your time.

Hi, I am writing an article about these problems ( not yet completed) . But here I am publishing the same.
Various states follow different procedures for the purchase of agricultural land. In certain states only an agriculturist can purchase such land whereas there are no restrictions in other states. All over India, NRIs and foreign citizens canât purchase agricultural land/plantation property/farm houses. They can, however, inherit agricultural lands. Here providing the information state by state in alphabetical order.
Andhra Pradesh
There are no restrictions for those looking at investing in agricultural land. Anyone can purchase agricultural land here. The maximum ceiling limit of land area as per the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms Act, 1973 is as follows: The family unit ( Individual, Spouse and 3 Minor Children) can be hold or purchased maximum extent of land is 10 Acres in Class A lands ( irrigated & double crop wet lands) and 54 acres in Class K ( dry and non irrigated lands). Agriculture lands in agency tracts, who is owned by Schedule Tribal (ST)should not be transferable to individuals except ST cooperative societies and its members( again member should be schedule Tribal).
Arunachal Pradesh
In Arunachal Pradesh , sale of land or property to outsiders (non-tribals) is prohibited. Arunachal falls under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution and in all such areas, non-tribals cannot purchase land or property.
Bihar
There are no restrictions for those looking at investing in agricultural land. Anyone can purchase agricultural land here. The maximum ceiling limit of land area as per the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1961 is as follows;The family unit ( Individual, Spouse and Minor Children) can be hold or purchased maximum extent of land is 15 Acres in Class I lands ( irrigated lands) and 45 acres in Class VI( hilly and sandy). One who is willing to sell his agriculture land, first he has to inform to co- sharers ( lease holder) or adjacent land owner. If they are not willing to buy with in three months time then he can sell to any one.
Chhattisgarh
Uttarakhand (Uttaranchal)
Additional Land Law of Uttaranchal which came into existence on September 12, 2003. âThis law states that outsiders can buy property in the state up to 550 sq mt (5,914 sq ft). If property above this limit is to be acquired, one has to get the District Magistrateâs permission for which one has to file an affidavit with the DM stating that land will be used only for horticulture or agriculture.
Maharashtra
Only an agriculturist can purchase agricultural land and if a person holds such land anywhere else in India, he can still be deemed an agriculturist in Maharashtra. The maximum ceiling limit for such land is 54 acres.
Tamil Nadu
There are no restrictions for those looking at investing in agricultural land. The maximum extent of land that can be purchased is 59.95 acres and it can be converted into non-agricultural land by the orders of the district collector, provided that no agricultural activity has been carried out in the said land during the last 10 years (prior to the date of conversion).
Karnataka
Only an agriculturist can purchase agricultural land. A non-agriculturist is a person whose income from any source exceeds Rs. 25 lakh per annum (earlier the limit was Rs.2 lakh per annum). Under Section 109 of Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, social or industrial organisations can purchase agricultural land with Government approval.
Kerala
Similar to Tamil Nadu, anyone can purchase agricultural land here. The maximum ceiling limit of land area as per the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963 is as follows:
a) In case of an adult unmarried person or a family consisting of a sole surviving member, five standard acres and the ceiling limit shall not be less than six and more than seven-and-a-half acres. b) For a family consisting of two or more but no more than five members, 10 standard acres and the ceiling limit shall not be less than 12 and more than 15 acres. c) If itâs a family consisting of more than five members, 10 standard acres increased by one standard acre for each member in excess of five, and the ceiling limit shall not be less than 12 and more than 20 acres. d) For any other person, other than a joint family, 10 standard acres and the ceiling limit shall not be less than 12 and more than 15 acres.
Gujarat
Agricultural lands canât be purchased by a non-agriculturist. Earlier, only those residing in the State could invest in agricultural land in Gujarat but in 2012 the Gujarat High Court passed a judgement that allows any agriculturist in the country to purchase such land in the State.
Sikkim
Outsiders cannot buy land here, except to set up industrial units. Only Sikkimese residents are permitted to buy land here. Article 371F of the Constitution of India, which grants special provisions to Sikkim, prohibits sale and purchase of land or property involving outsiders. In addition to this, only tribals can purchase land and property in the tribal areas of the state. The entire north district of Sikkim, for instance, is a tribal area.
Jammu & Kashmir
The law concerning âstate subjectsâ was enforced in J&K on April 20, 1927, to prevent rich foreigners from purchasing land, to protect the interests of the peasantry. The law was later adopted by the stateâs democratically elected government. The law continued till 1957 when the new constitution of J&K was introduced and âstate subjectâ was changed to âpermanent residentâ. Permanent Resident Status (PRS) was accorded to those who had been living in the state for at least 10 years before 14 May, 1954. The PRS was permanent and non-discriminatory.
Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan
There are no restrictions in this state. Earlier, under Section 17 of the Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1973, there were certain ceiling limits on buying agricultural land from the âKhatedarsâ in Rajasthan. The provisions of this section were amended in 2010 and people from other states can now purchase agricultural land here. One has to, however, apply for conversion within a year from acquisition and commence the proposed non-agricultural use within three years from the date of conversion in Rajasthan.
West Bengal
As per the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, private ownership of agricultural land in the State is capped at 17.5 acres for irrigated areas and 24.5 acres for areas that are only rainfed. In urban areas, private ownership is capped at 7.5 cottahs or one-eighth of an acre. Only tea gardens, mills, workshops, livestock breeding firms, poultry farms, dairies, and townships are exempted from the restrictions of the Land Reforms Act.
Haryana
Certain areas in the State have been declared âcontrolled areasâ and for those looking at purchasing agricultural land in these areas for non-agricultural purposes, they need to obtain a certificate indicating the change of land use from the Government of Haryana.
Himachal Pradesh
Only an agriculturist belonging to the State can purchase agricultural land here. People from other states require prior permission of the Government of Himachal Pradesh u/s 118 of HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act. The maximum land ceiling limit in is 160 bighas or 32 acres.
