Process to buy sc land

This discussion explores the complexities of purchasing agricultural land designated for Scheduled Castes (SC) in India. The original poster, Sandeep Sharma, seeks to buy land with four friends, one of whom is SC, to ensure equal ownership and avoid future disputes. While purchasing land in the name of the SC individual is possible, clarity on ensuring equal ownership and the legality of buying 'patta' land, which is assigned, is sought. The advice suggests that self-acquired SC land can be bought, but assigned or 'D patta' land cannot be sold or leased. Buying land in a firm's name or leasing non-agricultural land for up to 30 years are also discussed as potential alternatives.
