Dear Client,

1. A Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is an Indian citizen who resides outside India for reasons such as employment, business, or other circumstances that indicate an intention to stay abroad for an extended period. NRIs are generally defined under the Income Tax Act, 1961, based on their stay duration in India.
2. No, under the current regulations, NRIs are not permitted to purchase agricultural land in Telangana, or in other states, unless they have specific permissions or exceptions under certain conditions. The general rule restricts NRIs from owning agricultural land in India.
3. Building a farmhouse on agricultural land is subject to restrictions. Typically, agricultural land is meant for farming and cultivation, not for constructing commercial or residential buildings. Constructing a farmhouse with amenities like a swimming pool and opening it for public rental may violate agricultural land use regulations.
4. Yes, if you intend to use the land for purposes other than agriculture, such as constructing a farmhouse with commercial elements, you will need to convert the land from agricultural to a non-agricultural (NALA) use. NALA stands for Non-Agricultural Land Acquisition, and this process is required to change the land use classification.
5. For constructing a farmhouse intended for commercial use, such as renting out to the public, you would need to convert the land to a commercial use. The process involves, applying for conversion by providing supporting documents and obtaining approval.
6. Agricultural lands are generally lower cost, have tax benefits, and no conversion is needed for farming activities. However, have limited resale value for non-farming purposes, and potential regulatory hurdles for land use changes. Whereas, Commercial lands have higher resale value, potential for income generation, and flexibility for various business uses but they also have Higher cost, increased regulatory scrutiny, and additional taxes as disadvantages.
7. The time required for NALA conversion can vary depending on the state and specific circumstances. Generally, it can take several months to complete the conversion process, involving administrative review and approvals.
8. Yes, it is possible to sell the land after NALA conversion. However, ensure that the conversion process is properly documented and approved by the authorities. You must follow all legal requirements, such as updating land records and complying with any specific state regulations regarding the sale of converted land.
9. Yes, it is possible to convert a portion of the land to commercial use, provided you get the necessary approvals from local authorities. The conversion of a small portion to commercial use while keeping the rest as agricultural land is feasible, but it requires clear documentation and adherence to zoning regulations. Ensure you obtain specific permissions for the mixed-use of the land and comply with the local planning guidelines.
