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repeat positions that were repealed years ago.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
- Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 — holdings are tenancies of the State, with खातेदार (khatedar) the principal class. Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956 governs revenue administration and conversion.
- Ceiling
- Rajasthan Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1973 — limits vary by land class and irrigation.
- Conversion route
- Section 90-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956 is the operative provision. Separate rules apply to urban and rural areas; the 2007 rural rules were amended by notification dated 29 April 2026. Section 90-B is referred to in older files and litigation and belongs to an earlier statutory position.
- Conversion charge basis
- Commonly described as a rate per square metre, varying by area slab, location and population band. Confirm current rates with the authority.
- Who may buy agricultural land
- Generally described as open — no agriculturist status requirement reported for purchase. Section 42 of the Tenancy Act restricts sale, gift and bequest by Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe khatedars without permission.
- Official portals
- Apna Khata (land records) · Bhu-Naksha Rajasthan (cadastral maps) · e-Panjiyan (registration) · SSO / SWCS single-window for 90-A conversion applications
- Revenue & planning hierarchy
- Revenue: Patwari → Girdawar/Kanungo → Tehsildar → SDO → Collector → Board of Revenue, Ajmer. Planning: JDA for the Jaipur region, UITs elsewhere, municipal bodies and gram panchayats.

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.
