Your father can bequeath the property to you by will
gift deed cannot be executed of agricultural land in favour of NRI
Acquiring agriculture land from my father as NRI
I am planning to become a British citizen in the next year. My father currently holds ancestral agriculture property which is in his name as the property has been divided between my uncle, grandma and my father. Can I acquire this agriculture land after I get British citizenship and I have an OCI as part of his will? Or, should I acquire it before becoming British citizenship? Please, guide me. Thank you.

You can inherit the agricultural property after your father's death and not during his lifetime.
There's no bar in inheriting agricultural property by a citizen of other country.
Ancestral property can be inherited by any person in India irrespective of their nationality. So, there would be no issues.
Hi, you can acquire the property even after you become British Citizenship and there is no bar.
You can acquire it later as a part of inheritance
It is better to get your father to execute a gift deed in your favour in respect of his share of the ancestral agricultural property before your acquiring British citizenship, in order to avoid any cumbersome process later.
Dear client,
An OCI card holder can inherit any immovable property including agricultural land from resident of India or from Person resident outside India.
Thank You.
