This query is : Resolved
Hi,
I am an IT professional. Planning to buy agricultural land in karnataka. My father is farmer. My grandfather and 3 brothers of my father are also farmers. My father sold our agricultural land in 2013. Which he owned from many more than 20years. Still my fathers brothers owns agricultural land.
So question here is am I considered as an agricultirist as I belong to agricultural family and my ancestors owned agricultural land. Is it possible for me to prove that I am an agricultirist even though my father doesn't own any agricultural land from past 6 years by province RTC of our sold agricultural land? Is it possible to prove by providing details of my father brothers agricultural land details to prove myself an agricultirist??
As my annual income is less than 25lakh. Is it advised to get permission from Assistant commissioner for buying agricultural land as per the karnataka land reform act.
Please help me as I already paid advance amount for buying land.

Dear Sir,
Please approach me with all your documents so that I can review the same and let you know the detailed procedure. You may have to satisfy the following three conditions to purchase agricultural land in Karnataka.

Dear Sir,
It seems are being misguided by someone. Each partner/co-sharer must satisfy the following conditions to purchase the agricultural land.
Agricultural land can be bought in Karnataka after fulfilling certain requirements.
These include:
The annual average income of the person including agricultural income should be less than Rs 25 lakhs.
The person must have had an agricultural land in his name before the year 1974. The person should be an agriculturist or an agricultural worker by profession.
As per Section 79A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961, the non-agricultural income of a purchaser who must be an agriculturist should not exceed Rs 25 lakhs per year. Sale of land granted to members of scheduled caste and tribe is not allowed. Also, sale of land granted by the government is not allowed for a period of 15 years. Agricultural land can be used only for agricultural purposes and no other purposes. Utilising agricultural land for any other purpose is prohibited by law. Agricultural land, which does not come under the Green Belt, can be converted for non-agricultural purposes like residential, commercial, industrial etc, subject to the approval of the Special Deputy Commissioner on payment of the prescribed fees and subject to certain conditions.
Dear Sir,
You must satisfy the following conditions, if not then you must get a certificate showing you are agricultural labor. The later is easy because even Amithab Bachan taken such certificate to legalize his purchase of agricultural fields that is coffee estates.
(i) That he is coming from agricultural family and holding agricultural lands as on prescribed date i.e., 01.03.1974.
(ii) That his individual income is less than Rs. 2,00,000/- per annum and
(iii) That he is having source of income to purchase above agricultural land.
