Quick Summary

In Uttar Pradesh, the UP Imposition of Ceiling on Landholdings Act 1960 sets a limit on agricultural land for tenure holders. While anyone can purchase agricultural land, the ceiling is generally 12.5 acres. The exact limit can vary based on land quality and family size, with 16 hectares being a benchmark for a family of five. Exemptions may apply if land use is changed to residential.

The U.P. imposition of ceiling on Landholdings Act 1960 came into force in the month of January 1961. It imposed a ceiling limit of 16 hectares of fair quality of land for a tenure holder having a family of five members. The ceiling area also depends on quality of land and the number of members in the family.
