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repeat positions that were repealed years ago.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
- Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 and Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887 as applicable to Haryana, with subsequent State legislation. The record of rights is the jamabandi, structurally close to the Rajasthan document.
- Ceiling
- Haryana Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1972.
- Conversion route
- Change of land use permission, with the Town and Country Planning department central in controlled areas around urban centres.
- Conversion charge basis
- Commonly described as a per-square-metre rate, with external and internal development charges applied separately in controlled and development areas. The headline rate can substantially understate the total.
- Who may buy agricultural land
- Generally described as open to any Indian citizen, subject to ceiling limits and to restrictions on transfers involving Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe holders.
- Official portals
- Jamabandi Haryana (records of rights) · HARIS / registration through the revenue department
- Revenue & planning hierarchy
- Patwari → Kanungo → Tehsildar → SDO(Civil) → Deputy Commissioner. Town and Country Planning for CLU in controlled areas.
What differs most from Rajasthan. Because the jamabandi structure is close to Rajasthan's, agents from this belt read Haryana records more easily than Maharashtra or Karnataka records. That familiarity is a trap on the planning side, where the Haryana regime differs considerably.

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.
