There are restrictions on purchase of agricultural land in many states for non farmers. 

So check with your local land authority. 

Unless you prove yourself to be a farmer you can purchase agricultural land if restrictions is in place.

- Now a non-agriculturist can now buy agricultural land in Maharashtra . 

- As previously , an non-agriculturist was not allowed to purchase agricultural land without the prior approval of the Collector , but after the amendment on 01.01.2016 in the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Land Act , now a non-agriculturist can purchase the agricultural land subject to certain conditions.

- Further now a non-agriculturist can now acquire agricultural land for non-agricultural purpose also with the condition that the purchaser will have to use the said land within a period of 5 years , and if the period of 5 years lapses, then the Collector may grant an extension of another 5 years after payment of non-utilisation charges which will be determined at the rate of 2% of the market value of such land per annum.

- Further if the purchaser does not use the land for non-agricultural purposes within a period of 5 years or within the period of 10 years upon payment of non-utilisation charges, then the Collector shall resume the land after issuing one month’s notice to the purchaser , and the land so acquired by the Collector will vest with the Government free from all encumbrances.
