Dear Client,

Muslim daughter inherits property of father on his intestate death, half share of whatever share brother receives. So on this basis, she still claim herself agriculturist.

GIFT is valid and permissible. And, non agriculturist with less than 25 lacs annual income can buy agriculture land in Karnataka.

1. A person (irrespective of Marriage or whatever) SHALL ALWAYS remain an agriculturist, IF his name appears in the 7x12 extract, EVEN if he has sold his land and can once again buy agricultural land on strength of old 7x12 document, BUT by following due procedure of law.

2. IF persons name is not recorded on 7x12 document, THEN it cannot be done.
