Agricultural Land Purchase Laws in India: State-Wise Rules & Restrictions

16 February 2025, New Delhi: Buying agricultural land in India is governed by state-specific laws, with some states restricting purchases to existing farmers. Maharashtra and Karnataka limit ownership to farmers, whereas Punjab and Rajasthan allow broader ownership. Certain states also impose ceilings on landholding sizes to prevent excessive land accumulation. 

It is essential to check whether the land falls under any government restrictions, such as special economic zones or forest areas, which may impact ownership rights. Consulting with a legal expert or land consultant can help navigate these complexities and ensure compliance with local regulations. Understanding these laws before making an investment prevents legal disputes and ensures a smooth purchasing process.
