Buying land togetherसाथ मिलकर ज़मीन ख़रीदना

Two brothers, three friends, a family pooling savings — people often want to buy land together. There is a way to do it where every buyer is named on the sale deed and in the land record, and owns their share directly. This page explains that way, what to agree in writing first, and why it is different from handing money to a scheme that holds the land for you. साथ मिलकर ज़मीन ख़रीदनी है? सबसे साफ़ रास्ता — हर ख़रीदार का नाम रजिस्ट्री और जमाबंदी दोनों में।

Direct joint purchase · सीधी साझा ख़रीद

हर ख़रीदार सीधे मालिक

• Everyone is on the deed. The sale deed names each buyer and, ideally, each buyer’s share.
• Everyone is in the record. After mutation, the jamabandi (or your state’s record of rights) shows each co-owner and their share.
• Nobody holds the land for the others. No company, friend or relative “keeps it in their name” on everyone’s behalf.
• Payment goes to the seller through the bank, from each buyer or on each buyer’s documented behalf — not into one person’s pocket.

Until the land is partitioned, co-owners usually hold undivided shares — nobody owns a specific corner. Read Batwara: partitioning a joint khata before you buy.

Settle these in writing before you pay · पैसा देने से पहले लिखित में तय करें

1. Shares. Who owns what share, and whether it matches what each person paid.
2. Costs. Who pays stamp duty, registration, the advocate, fencing and yearly upkeep — and what happens if someone does not pay.
3. Use. Who farms it, whether it is leased, and how any income or produce is split.
4. Decisions. Which decisions need everyone, and which a majority can take.
5. Exit. If one co-owner wants to sell, do the others get the first chance to buy, at what price and in how long?
6. Partition. Whether and when the land will be divided on the record, and how the parts will be chosen.
7. Death and inheritance. What happens to a share if a co-owner dies — heirs step in; agree how that will work.
8. Disputes. How disagreements will be settled before anyone goes to court.

An advocate can put these into a co-ownership agreement. Its exact form, and what the law in your state lets it do, are questions for the advocate — not for this page.

Why this is not the same as a managed pool · यह “पूल” योजना जैसा क्यों नहीं

AgriZameen does not organise groups, pool money, hold funds or match co-buyers. If a group of you has already decided to buy together, we can help you find land and read its record, as for any buyer.
