I have person in TN who wants to sell the land given to his grandfather by the Britishers. It was given to his grandfather free of cost. Now he wants to sell it to me. Is this going to be a trouble free deal? Is there any possibility of government taking over this land?
 

Pl. consult a good Lawyer dealing in property matters-disputes etc & not one who does sale & other deed drafting & registration alone.Obtain an opinion in writing from the advocate.

Harish,

buying the land should not be an issue if there is clear title, please check if there are any other people claiming the land as well, even if you have clear title you can get stuck with a long legal issue, consult a very good advocate before deciding

Land allotted to farmers by Govt or Britishers

Dear KS Raj,

First of all, where is the location of the land? There are Revenue Rules governing agriculture land. If the land is allotted under head "Ceiling" then, that must be Class II land which means you cannot mortgage it and you cannot sale it outright. If the land in question is Class I then you can sale it. Class II Land can be sold only if sanctioned by Divisional commissioner. The procedure is " obtain NA from locality, meet town planning dept and gets its valuation done and then obtain sanction of Divisional Commissioner through collector. The land so sold shall remain Class II who so ever purchase and you have to deposit 50% of the sale amount in the govt treasury.

The above is the procedure followed in Maharashtra for land allotted under Head Ceiling. Please be careful while dealing with Govt officials and acquire revenue rules booklet and ascertain class of land recorded in the records of Patwari.

Best of Luck

Regards
