As a working professional, I make less than 25 lakh every year. In Maharashtra, I wish to purchase agricultural land. But I have no farming history, nor do I own any land in any other part of India. So I did some research online to know: Can non farmer buy agricultural land in Maharashtra? I discovered that it is not possible for a non-agriculturist to purchase agricultural land in Maharashtra. 

Can Non Agriculturist Buy Agricultural Land in Maharashtra?

No. If you are not a farmer, then you are permitted to purchase agricultural land, according to the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code of 1966. Maharashtra allows land purchases only to farmers.

Farm land cannot be immediately purchased without fulfilling the below prerequisites:

  • There must be a relative who owns farmland.

  • Obtain authorisation from the collector's office stating that you intend to work in agriculture.

  • Work as a farmhand and obtain an agricultural employment letter from the farmer.

An individual has the right to purchase if any of their parents or grandparents are farmers. A person can still be regarded as a farmer in Maharashtra even if they own land elsewhere in India. The maximum area allowed to purchase is 54 acres, depending on the type of land and the water supply level. To purchase agricultural land in Maharashtra, the buyer can provide a certificate attesting to their father or grandfather's farming status. 

Now that you have the information given above, I think your question on can a non farmer buy agricultural land in Maharashtra has been answered.
