Can an NRI Buy Agricultural Land in India

Q1. Can NRIs legally purchase agricultural land in India?

 

No. Under Indian foreign exchange regulations, NRIs are not allowed to directly buy agricultural land, farmhouses, or plantation land.

 

Q2. Can NRIs inherit agricultural land?

 

Yes. NRIs can inherit agricultural land from a resident Indian and continue to own it legally.

 

Q3. Is there any workaround for NRIs to own farmland?

 

NRIs may:

Inherit land

Buy through a resident Indian agricultural family member

Lease agricultural land (in some states)

They cannot bypass the law by purchasing directly.

 

Q4. Can an NRI buy land through a company?

 

Only if the company is permitted for agricultural activity and complies with foreign investment regulations. Direct personal ownership is not allowed.
