How to get farmer status LEGALLY!?

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 touts


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 person’s income should not exceed 2 lakhs per year & the following documents need to be produced:- 1)RTC/Vendor’s 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 B’lore & land 's location in Malavalli taluk, to get the above information took me nearly a month with officials in Taluk office of B’lore,Malavalli & Mandya not interested/not knowledgeble to give proper information. Finally after reading about Advocate Sridara Babu’s blog & directly contacting AC’c office in Mandya got the above information. First thing when I went to taluk’s office tout’s 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 “fees” 5,500/-. Mandya case worker a lady (more a con artist) who seemed to be very understanding very told me “i 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 you”. 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 DC’s 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 Surveyour’s 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 B’lore KG road taluk office 800/-. Family tree -1750/-. After getting all of the above documents submit the docs in Mandya AC’s office who tapal/ sends it to Malavalli’s tasildar’s 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 B’lore to Mandya,Malavalli etc cost of fencing,plowing,planting) & the permission to buy land is still pending & i’m not sure if i’ll 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 don’t 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 “report an honest offficial from toolkit”.

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 tahsil’s 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.

I re-itereate this for everyones benefit & this is based on teh revenue dept’s understanding of who is a farmer - may vary slightly from state to state.

  • Person not owning land categoriesed as agri land is a non-farmer
  • Not all states restrict purchase of agri land only to farmers (exceptions are TN, Rajastan etc)
  • Non-farmer is he has to buy agri land in a restricted state (like MH, KN, UP etc), he/she has option of buying agri land in non-restricted state and producring a farmer certificate from that state and then produce it tot  the talathi/tehsil of the state where he/she is buying agri land

Having said that, pl note the following -

  • Buying agri land in non-restricted state and getting farmer certificate is only 50% of the solution
  • It does not gurantee your ability to transfer the agri land in restrictired state to your name
  • The local tehsil/talathi will then send your farmer cert to the non-restrictive state for written confirmation directly from that tehsil and land will not be transferred till that is received.

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.

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 DON’T 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, DON’T 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 don’t 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.
