1. Agricultural Certificate from Rajasthan or anywhere (without actually Owning Agricultural land) is a prosecutable offence. Avoid falling into such Traps.
2. ONLY an original Agriculturist can purchase agricultural land, anywhere in India. For other persons or legal entities, proper permission has to be taken from the district collector.

- Now a non-agriculturist can also 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-utilization 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-utilization 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
- Hence, you can purchase the said land in your and wife's name jointly.
If your wife is not having a farmer certificate then she may not be eligible to purchase the agricultural land either singly or jointly with you.
You will be issued a Farmer's Certificate by the Rajasthan Government as soon as you do a valid Purachse Agreement (7/12). With this Farmer's Certificate, you can now purchases any type of Agricultural Land in the Entire State of Maharashtra
