Dear Client,

Kushki land means dry land.

As per Section 79A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961, the non-agricultural income of a purchaser who must be an agriculturist should not exceed Rs 25 lakhs per year. Sale of land granted to members of scheduled caste and tribe is not allowed. Also, sale of land granted by the government is not allowed for a period of 15 years. Agricultural land can be used only for agricultural purposes and no other purposes. Utilising agricultural land for any other purpose is prohibited by law.

Since kushki land is dry land, it cannot be even used for agricultural purpose.

The kushki lands will be under the government which will be used for burial ground and any other purpose, hence you have to deal with it accordingly.

Is there anything else that we need to concerned about if all papers are in order

You may look for the procedures for annexing the kushki land also;

Some local laws would come to your rescue.

This is plantation land comes under revenue land not agricultural land ... and 5.36 acres I was referring to is dry land and not wet land. Would it still be considered as agricultural land ?

You are right that the land comes under revenue land and not under agricultural land, hence the kushki land is vulnerable for acquisition by government anytime.

Since the entire land is revenue land, there is always a danger of acquisition for this kushki land.
