2) you can buy land in name of your 7 year old child but for sale of land you would need court permission if child is minor

Dear Sir,

in UP there is only a limit of 12.5 acres in the case of agricultural land holdings. In Uttar Pradesh any body can buy an agriculture land subject to a ceiling of 12.5 Acres.

Read Sec 4 and 5 of The U.P. Imposition Of Ceiling On Land Holdings Act, 1960.

No specific requirement to purchase land in the name of minor, for  I`d proof, birth certificate will attach and form 60 will attach.

In Uttar Pradesh, there is a ceiling limit of 12.5 acres in the case of agricultural land holdings.

And family includes himself, his wife,minor sons.

. The Act was amended and the UP Land Ceiling (Amendment) Act, 1972 reduced the ceiling limit to 7.3 hectares. The ceiling could go up to 13.3 hectares if the family had more than five members. 

Max amount of agriculture land that a family can keep in its name is governed by land ceiling law.a family is considered as husband,wife and minor children 

it is 12.5 acres in UP as per information available online 

ceiling limit on Purchase of Agricultural land in Maharashtra is 54 Acres. 

Hardly two lakh acres of land could be declared surplus. The Act was amended and the UP Land Ceiling(Amendment) Act, 1972 reduced the ceiling limit to 7.3 hectares. The ceiling could go up to 13.3 hectares if the family had more than five members.

In Uttar Pradesh, there is a ceiling limit of 12.5 acres in the case of agricultural landholdings. ... according to the land revenue act 12.5 acre is the statuary limit of land in UP. above this limit comes under ceiling.
