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repeat positions that were repealed years ago.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

What differs most from Rajasthan. Transfer of land held by members of Scheduled Tribes is restricted, and the restriction is a live issue in several districts. Establish the holder's status early.
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.
