Acquire, Sale or Gift Agricultural Land

Whether NRI/PIO can acquire agricultural land/ plantation property / farm house in India?

No. Since general permission is not available to NRI/PIO to acquire agricultural land/ plantation property / farm house in India, such proposals will require specific approval of Reserve Bank and the proposals are considered in consultation with the Government of India.


Can an agricultural land / plantation property / farm house in India owned / held by a non-resident be sold?

NRI / PIO may sell agricultural land /plantation property/farm house to a person resident in India who is a citizen of India.

Foreign national of non-Indian origin resident outside India would need prior approval of Reserve Bank to sell agricultural land/plantation property/ farm house in India

Can an NRI / PIO / Foreign national holding an agricultural land / plantation property / farm house in India gift the same?

NRI / PIO can gift but only to a person resident in India who is a citizen of India.

Foreign national of non-Indian origin needs prior approval of Reserve Bank

Can a person who had bought immovable property when he was a resident, continue to hold such property even after becoming an NRI/PIO?

Yes, he can continue to hold the residential / commercial property / agricultural land/ plantation property / farm house in India without the approval of the Reserve Bank
