We have purchased an agriculture land in the year 2020,we are registered farmer in Rajkot Taluka,And the land is purchased is in Ahmedabad Taluka,We have attached our 7/12 copy in the Registered purchase agreement stating we are a legal farmer since 2000, After execution of the agreement and full and final payment,the mamlatdar/authority says we need to get a farmer,s certificate/or Khedut Kharai Certificate from the place where we are owning the present agricultural land i.e is in Rajkot Taluka, The Rajkot taluka authority asks for details of last 75 years of proof that we are a farmer since last 75 years or from the year 1950/51, Our application for getting a farmer certificate got rejected twice by the Rajkot authorities, I became a farmer thru inheritance of Agricultural land from my father who expired in the year 1995,And my father was a farmer from the 1967/68 and he owned the agricultural land till he expired in the year 1995, Read more at: https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/farmer-certificate-khedut-kharai-in-gujarat-239273.asp Since the introduction of the law in 2024 that now we need to submit only last 25 years record of a farmer,we had filed an appeal to Prant officer to revise the Kachhi Nondh to Pakki Nondh with relevant documents of last 25 years from 2020 november,but the authorities are giving reason that since the law was introduced in 2024,and you have registered the purchase agreement in 2020,this is not applicable to you,

They are asking for money what is the way out please advice?



Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the complexities of obtaining a Khedut Kharai (farmer's) certificate for agricultural land purchased in Gujarat. The user, a registered farmer in Rajkot, bought land in Ahmedabad but faces challenges with the Rajkot authorities demanding extensive historical proof of farming lineage. Despite recent law changes reducing the requirement from 75 to 25 years, the authorities are refusing to apply it retroactively to a 2020 land purchase agreement, leading to rejected applications and requests for payment.

You may approach the High Court seeking directions to the authorities concerned to decide the issue in accordance with the law.
