2 relatives or friends can buy agricultural land together as co owners
2) following documents are required for conversion
1. Yes, it's possible for two relatives or friends buy agricultural land as co-owners, even if they are not from agricultural family, in view of amendment to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, which allows even non-agriculturists to buy agricultural land without any prior conditions.
2. There's an amendment to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act by which anyone can buy agricultural land in Karnataka and the earlier clause that only an agriculturist with certain annual income could buy agricultural land, has been removed. No need for only family members to buy agricultural land.
3. If the land is in yellow zone ( which is reserved for residential purposes ), then the agricultural land within it's territory can easily be got converted from agricultural status to non-agricultural residential status by approaching the statutory authorities, including the jurisdictional Deputy Commissioner/BDA/BMRDA and paying the statutory fees.
Dear Sir,
1) Yes two relatives or friends can buy Agricultural lad together.
2) Now any Indian, or a trust, society, company or an educational institution can buy farmland in Karnataka regardless of the buyer's annual income from non-agricultural sources. Thus being from agri family is not a need, regardless of it you can buy agri land.
3) In Karnataka, the Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1966 has prescribed the procedure to convert agricultural land to non-agricultural, under Section 95 of the Act.
The purpose for the change in use of land must be specified. The Deputy Commissioner may grant permission and may even impose conditions. The law prescribes a penalty in case of violation of the procedures.
4) Conversion involves seeking the approval from the competent revenue authority which is the Collector, Sub-divisional Officer (SDO) or Tehsildar. The process can also be undertaken online through govt site.
