Dear client,

No such issue, 25 lacs limit is, that non agriculturist with above 25 lacs income per annum cannot purchase agriculture land.

And your mother already holding agriculture land, hence this sec 79 dose not come in her way.

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.

1) your mother is an agriculturist 

2) her anuual income of family is less than Rs 25 lakhs 

3) she should not face probleyin mutation of land in her name 

See if your mother had agriculture land before purchasing this land and since she is disclosing agriculture income there wont be any issue. 79a and 80 section.applies.for person who does not have a agriculture land and is not agriculturist then the said person need to obtain permission from deputy commissioner and purchase agricultural land.

Section 79 A&B endorsements: These are issued by the Tahsildar. These endorsements certify that there are no cases against the person owning the agricultural land, and whether he is an agriculturist or not, conforming to the prescripttions of Section 79 A&B of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961 (since only agriculturists and agricultural workers whose average annual income is less than Rs 2 lakhs are entitled to own agricultural lands in Karnataka);

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 2 lakhs per year. To purchase agricultural lands, these documents need to be produced: Form No 1:  Vendor's Pani, mutation Purchaser's pani; Affidavits No objection certificate from the Tahsildar

Now the limit has been raised upto 25 lakhs.

If all the details are proper and have no issues, then there should not be any problem for obtaining khatha

Dear Sir,

On the cursory look of your description your mother satisfied all the three conditions required. So there will be no issue. However it better to consult a

Legal expert and see that whether the following three conditions are satisfied.

Agricultural land can be bought in Karnataka after fulfilling certain requirements.

These include:

The annual average income of the person including agricultural income should be less than Rs 25 lakhs.

The person must have had an agricultural land in his name before the year 1974. The person should be an agriculturist or an agricultural worker by profession.


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. Agricultural land, which does not come under the Green Belt, can be converted for non-agricultural purposes like residential, commercial, industrial etc, subject to the approval of the Special Deputy Commissioner on payment of the prescribed fees and subject to certain conditions.

See if she has inherited agricultural land and is involved in agriculture then in that case she will be treated as agriculturist.

Dont worry about that.

Let there be a query on that, your grandfather's agriculturist status can be projected with some modifications.

As confirmed she belongs to the agriculture family as of now, hence you can prepare to face any issue in it accordingly.

If your grand father had land during 1978 thats enough you can definitely buy lands in karnataka. There are certain procedure by following which you can buy land. Engage any local lawyer. 

If your income limit exceeds 25 lakhs you need to file the endorsements.

Married daughter not consider as agriculturist. Mother income less than 25 lacs yearly, no issue.
