Can NRIs Buy Agricultural Land in India Understanding the Legal Landscape
The Tukde Bandi Kayda, or Land Holding Act of 2015, prevents the division of land into small pieces in Maharashtra and requires land to be consolidated. This law was enforced by the Maharashtra State Revenue and Stamping Department in July 2021. Earlier, the law did not allow the purchase of land in pieces smaller than 20 guntha. This caused problems for many people, such as difficulties in building homes, accessing roads for farming, and digging wells. However, on March 14, 2024, the government changed the law. Now, it allows the purchase of land in pieces as small as 1 to 5 guntha.
Key Points:
- Previous Restrictions: The law previously restricted the sale of irrigated land less than half an acre and non-irrigated land less than two acres.
- New Amendments: On March 14, 2024, amendments were made to allow easier land sales for specific needs like building homes or creating access roads.
- Permissions: Buyers now need the district collector’s approval, and the land must be used for the stated purpose.
- Farmers can purchase up to five gunthas of land to dig a well, and they must provide a certificate from the Groundwater Survey Department confirming the presence of water in the area.
These changes aim to resolve issues caused by small land parcels left after government projects and make land transactions smoother.
