Q: Hi team need to know more about Vanikaran ZONE , is such land covered under this zone can transferred in to name of individual, if I purchase land here what restriction we have to follow and how much sq ft we can built
Hello Mahendra, In Maharashtra, only an agriculturist can purchase agriculture land. If you willing to purchase agricultural land, you will need prior permission of collector of that area. Transfer to non-agriculturist prohibited under section-63. No sale, gift, exchange or lease of any land shall be valid in favor of a person who is not an agriculturist.
However, as per expert lawyer, under certain condition collector may grant permission for transfer i.e. a) Such a person bona fide requires the land for a non-agricultural purpose, or b) The land is required for the benefit of an industrial or commercial undertaking or educational or charitable institutions, or c) Such land being mortgaged, mortgage has obtained from collector, a certificate that he intends to take the profession of an agriculturist and agrees to cultivate the land personally or, d) The land is required by Co-operative Society or, e) Such land is being sold in execution of a decree of a civil court or recovering arrear of land revenue.
