Explaining What Documents are needed to Sell Agriculture Land?

[2bigha]

Selling agricultural land in India isn’t just about finding a buyer — the paperwork plays a huge role. If your documents aren’t in order, the deal can get delayed or even fall through.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Sale Deed – This is your primary proof of ownership.
• Land Title Document – Confirms that you legally own the land.
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC) – Shows the land is free from loans or disputes.
• Latest Land Tax Receipts – Proves you’ve paid all taxes.
• Patta/Khata Certificate – Local land records registration.
• Identity Proof – Aadhaar, PAN, or voter ID.
• NOC (No Objection Certificate) – If needed, from relevant authorities.

Tip: Always keep copies of all documents and get them verified by a legal expert before listing your land. This avoids last-minute surprises for both you and the buyer.
