Read this before using anything on this page.
Land is a State subject. Every statute, provision, charge basis, restriction and portal named here is set by a State
and is amended regularly, sometimes annually. This page is an orientation written from published sources on
the date shown — it is not legal advice, it is not a statement of the current operative law, and it has not been
reviewed by an advocate practising in this State. Secondary sources on state land law go stale badly and frequently
repeat positions that were repealed years ago. Confirm every point with that State's own revenue or planning
authority on official
gov.in / nic.in sources and with a local advocate before you act or
advise. AgriZameen is an independent private platform and is not a government body.- Tenure & records law
- Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879 as applicable, with the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 and the Saurashtra and Vidarbha counterparts. The record of rights is the 7/12 extract.
- Ceiling
- Gujarat Agricultural Lands Ceiling Act, 1960.
- Conversion route
- Non-agricultural permission under the Land Revenue Code, with premium payable in defined cases and planning authority involvement in development plan areas.
- Conversion charge basis
- Premium and conversion charges under the Code, with the basis varying by tenure type and land category. Old tenure and new tenure land are treated very differently and this is a critical early check.
- Who may buy agricultural land
- Restricted. Purchase of agricultural land is generally limited to agriculturists. Judicial decisions have addressed whether an agriculturist from elsewhere in India qualifies, and reform of the restriction has been discussed publicly, so the current position must be confirmed rather than assumed in either direction.

What differs most from Rajasthan. The old tenure / new tenure distinction has no direct Rajasthan equivalent and governs whether a holding can be transferred and on what conditions. Missing it is the classic error made by buyers from other states.
Before you act on any of this
Run the six checks from Level 3, Lesson 8: which statute governs, whether your buyer is eligible to purchase at all, the conversion charge basis and what else is levied, the realistic timeline from someone who has done it recently, the land's classification in that State's records, and a local advocate. Confidence transfers across a state line; competence does not.
