Edition v1.0 Written 29 July 2026 Not reviewed by local counsel Not legal advice
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 Secondary sources on state land law go stale badly and frequently repeat positions that were repealed years ago.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.

Revenue & planning hierarchy

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.
