According to Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Bill, 2015, the income limit for non-agricultural persons to purchase agricultural land in Karnataka has been increased from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 25 lakh.

The deputy commissioners of districts have been granted powers to grant permission for non-agriculturists to purchase agricultural land under Section 80 of the Act.

However, there are still restrictions in the form of permissions granted for person’s conditions such as:

(i) that the transferee shall take up agriculture within one year from the date of acquisition of land, and

(ii) that if the transferee gives up agriculture within five years, the land shall vest in the State Government subject to payment to him of an amount equal to eight times the net annual income of the land or where the land has been purchased, the price paid for the land, if such price is less than eight times the net annual income of the land.

Yes. She would be treated as an agriculturist by law, since she belongs to an agricultural family, even if she is married to an non agricultural family.

She can also buy agricultural land from her brother by way of a registered release deed, but the criteria is that she have to be an agriculturist in Karnataka having income of less than Rs. 25 lakhs per year from her non -agricultural resources.

She also has a rightful one-fourth share in her father's estate by law and can challenge the said mutation of property within the brothers.

Subsequently, her name would be added in the mutation records.

She can buy from her brothers, Individual income takes into consideration not of family.

And she has been disinherited by father, so in this case she will in no way inherit agriculture property, so not an agriculturist,
