section 79 A prohibits purchase of agricultural land by any person or family who have annual income of more than Rs 25 lakhs from non agricultural sources

3) the amendment empowers deputy commissioners of districts, instead of assistant commissioners, to grant permission for non-agriculturists to purchase agricultural land under Section 80 of the Act.

For non agriculturists to buy agricultural land, prior permission has to be sought from the deputy commissioner as the deputy commissioners of districts have powers to grant permission for non-agriculturists to purchase agricultural land under Section 80 of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act. You would not be eligible to buy agricultural land, if your family's income exceeds Rupees 25,00,000/- per annum from non agricultural sources

The Legislative Assembly on Friday passed the Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Bill, 2015, to increase the income limit for non-agricultural sources to purchase farmland from Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 25 lakh.

The Bill empowers deputy commissioners of districts, instead of assistant commissioners, to grant permission for non-agriculturists to purchase agricultural land under Section 80 of the Act.

Therefore you can buy agriculture land up to the extent of the above mentioned ceiling of income..
