There is no restriction or legal infirmity on your husband to transfer his self acquired property to his spouse by executing a registered gift deed.

Yes. There is no objection to getting a gift deed from your husband in your wife. If you convert this into non-agricultural purpose then it requires permission from the District Collector/Authorised Revenue Authorities.

Yes, husband can legally gift/transfer the land to his wife irrespective of cast,

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 02 December 2023
The problem here is that :-

1. an agricultural land belonging to SC cannot be transferred to non-SC, as provided inUP Zamindari Abolition Act 1952.

2. simply you are married to SC you do not acquire SC status and remain OBC.

Such transfer of land does not hit the intention behind the legislation. You may have to apply for permission of DM.
