Tribunal will ascertain from the tenant in the prescribed manner whether he is or is not willing to purchase the land held by him as tenant. If the tenant fails to appear on the date fixed or gives a statement that he is not willing to purchase the land, the Tribunal shall make a declaration accordingly in writing. If the tenant is wiling to purchase the land, the Tribunal will determine according to the provisions of Sections 32-H and 63-A(3) the purchase price of the land after holding an enquiry and after hearing the parties concerned. The value of the land fixed by taking into consideration all the prescribed factors will be scaled down to the maximum, if it exceeds the maximum, or scaled up to the minimum, if it is less than the minimum.

8. Provision is made in Section 32-K for payment of the purchase price. A permanent tenant has to deposit the entire amount with the Agricultural Lands Tribunal within one year from such date as may be fixed by the Tribunal. A tenant, other than a permanent tenant, can pay the price in one lump sum within one year or the price may be paid with simple interest at 4 1/2 per cent in annual instalments net exceeding 12 as may be fixed by the Tribunal. In the meanwhile, payment of rent to the landlord is stopped from the year In which the first instalment becomes payable, and if during any year the payment of rent is suspended or remitted, a tenant is not to be liable to pay the purchase price in lump sum or the amount of instalments or any interest thereon during that year

Tenants are those who pay rent to the owner of the land and lease it to them under certain mutually agreed conditions. The tenant’s name appears in the Mahabhulekh 7/12 as a protected “Kul,” and with the farmer’s consent, they are able to cultivate the land..

Some of the significant provisions of the Kul Kayda law are as follows:

  • Landlord's right to terminate the tenancy
  • Transfer of pending proceedings to the Collector and State Government
  • Tenant's right to purchase land from the landlord
  • Special provisions for lands held on lease by industrial or commercial undertakings
  • Establishment of reasonable rent for land covered by section 43-A

In conclusion, the Kul Kayda law is a pivotal piece of legislation aimed at safeguarding tenants' rights within the agricultural sector. Its implementation underscores the government's commitment to fostering a fair and sustainable agricultural landscape and ensuring that the benefits of land ownership are accessible to all segments of society.

Dear Client,

By pointing to the points: The area of the land parcel, If the percentage of the land parcel that you possess under Kul rights in 34-acre property is to be assessed accurately then, the information present in the 7/12 extract can be useful. However, it is common to note that the 7/12 extract does not present percentages per se; instead, these extracts depict the area and rights attached to the land.

Here’s how you can calculate the percentage:

Identify Your Possession Area: Identifying the total area of the land in 7/12 extract and to identify the area of the land parcel which you claimed under your possession. This area is usually shown in acres or hectares.

Calculate the Percentage:

In case the area under your possession is in another unit other than the total area (example: square kilometers and square miles convert the area under your possession to the same unit as the total area - acres if the total area is in acres and vice versa).
