Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Jirayat land is the land where cultivation depends upon annual rainfall. The jirayat land is used for seasonal crops, kharif, and rabi. The agricultural sessions of kharif crops start from June and agricultural sessions of rabi crops are start in September-October. 

According to the amendment in section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Land Act, 1948 (MTAL), non-agriculturists were also allowed to buy the agricultural land in Maharashtra which means that you can also buy the Jirayat land in Pune. But before the construction of a plot on the said land, it must be converted to be used for Non-agricultural purposes. 

As per the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code rules,  before carrying out any development on the agricultural land, you need to apply to the collector for the permission to convert the use of agricultural land into the non-agricultural purpose or to change the use of land from one non-agricultural purpose to another non-agricultural purpose. 

Thank You

The term “Jirayat” has been defined to mean dry crop land, which means “the cultivation mainly depends upon annual rainfall”. Even otherwise, a Jirayat land is used for seasonal crops like Khariff and Rabi, where cultivation depends upon annual rainfall.

Since it is basically agricultural land, you will  not be eligible to construct a house over the said jirayat land without getting it  NA converted by an approval of the competent authority. 

usually, a large number of upwardly mobile professionals, with a fairly robust disposable income, wish to buy such land at throwaway prices and construct farmhouses or get it converted into non-agricultural land.

In Maharashtra, only agriculturists can purchase agricultural land. If either of a person's parents or grandparents are agriculturists, then such a person is also entitled to the purchase. If a person holds agricultural land anywhere anywhere else in India, he can still be deemed an agriculturist in Maharashtra. 

- Jirayat land is the land where cultivation is depends upon annual rainfall.

- Further, the jirayat land is used for seasonal crops, kharif and rabi.

- However , now with the amendment in the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Land Act, even a non-agriculturists can also purchase Jirayat land in Pune , after getting permission from the Collector. 

-Further , without converting into N.A , you cannot construct a house  on this land.
