Pick the state, then a few questions. No email, an answer on this page. Maharashtra and Goa run on different law, and on the Maharashtra coast half the parcels aren’t legal for half the buyers, and almost nobody selling land here will tell you that before you’ve spent a day in the car.
This is a screening tool, not legal advice. Maharashtra was checked on 1 October 2026, from the bare acts, the bills and the gazette where we could get them. Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act 1948 governs who may buy agricultural land; Mah. Act 1 of 2016 carves out land earmarked in a Development or Regional Plan; FEMA governs what an NRI or OCI may acquire. The Goa branch was checked on 1 October 2026: the Goa Restriction on Transfer of Agricultural Land Act 2023 limits paddy land to agriculturists (in Goa, Vassoka lists old settlement and orchard land, never paddy land), FEMA applies there too, and comunidade, tenancy and Mundkar questions are settled parcel by parcel. Every position needs your own advocate’s confirmation against the specific parcel, and we would rather you got that confirmation than took our word for it.
