My father had bought land in Pune in 1987 and 7-12 of the land has Ku.Ka. 84 Kas Patra remark on it. In 2017, we sold same land to other person. Now he is asking for our Agriculturist Certificate to transfer 7-12 on his name but we do not have any agriculturist certificate as nobody from our has any farmland.
Can i get Agriculturist Certificate if my wife has agriculture land on her name.
Please advice. Thank you.

If you are seller and your name was being reflected in 7/12 extracts, what more certificate is required to show you as an agriculturist? 7/12 extract itself is a certificate.
Even then if the buyer requires specific certificate then you need to apply to Tehsildar of your area. Move an application annexing the copy of 7/12 extract to tehsildar who after getting enquiries through Lekhpal/Patwari/local revenue officer, shall issue certificate as desired.

Since the required Agriculture certificate is not available, it is better to take help of local lawyer in context of local laws.

The buyer cannot buy the agricultural land if he was not an agriculturist .
If he has a certificate to that effect then he can very well get the property mutated to his name on the basis of the 7/12 which has your name in it already.
In Maharashtra, only agriculturists can purchase agricultural land. If either of a person's parents or grandparents are agriculturists, then such a person is also entitled to the purchase.
Your wife's certificate cannot make you entitled to claim the agriculturist status.

There is no right of your wife in the land purchased by your father, accordingly she can not get the agriculturist certificate qua subject land.
The land can not be sold by you or your family as it has not been transferred (legally) in the name of vendee (your father).

The 7/12 extract, traditionally called as “Saath Baara Utara” (in Marathi language), is an extract from the land register of any district, maintained by the revenue department of the government in the state of Maharashtra.
Form 7 is the record for details of the owner and his rights over the said property. This includes details like payment of tax, disputes, loans on the land if any, etc
The other Form 12 is the record of agricultural aspects of the land, including crops grown, if cultivated by a person other than the owner, etc.
The information that you get when you apply for an extract is a combination of both the forms mentioned above (7 & 12), hence the name Satbara Utara.
