The max./Ceiling limit wrt land is 12.5 acres.
A land owned by an sc/st person cannot be purchased by a general category person.
A due diligence has to be done so that one can steer clear of any controversy/fraudulent activity.
NRI/OCI/PIOs can only inherit land but cannot purchase agricultural land in India.
P.S. THE SC/ST rule doesn't exist in UP anymore after the 2015 amendment.
1. Yes, however the maximum ceiling limit for Purchase of an Agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh is 12.50 Acres.
- However an NRI cannot purchase the agriculture land and if you will purchase an agriculture land in India then it will be a violation of FEMA laws , that can result in a penalty or even confutation of that property.
2. Approach to concerned district Deputy Commissioner ‘s office , for getting agriculture family certificate and to apply for permission to buy land.
