Mandi — land purchase legal rules (Section 118)
⚠ Under Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, a non-agriculturist cannot acquire land in the state without prior State Government permission (Section 118 text, Indian Kanoon). Stamp duty on permitted transfers was raised from 6% to 12% by an ordinance of 18 February 2025 (Legitquest copy).
Who can buy without permission? Only an agriculturist, which the Act defines as a person who cultivates land personally in the state (section 2(2), PRS copy of the Act). Out-of-state buyers do not qualify. Nor, according to The Tribune, October 2025, do Himachalis who hold no agricultural land; they need Revenue Department relaxation too.
Section 118 permission: the Act makes a transfer to a non-agriculturist invalid without it, and the section covers sale, gift, exchange, lease and mortgage with possession (Indian Kanoon). In Ajay Dabra v. Pyare Ram (31 January 2023) the Supreme Court held that land cannot pass to a non-agriculturist without prior State permission (LiveLaw, February 2023). The application goes to the Collector on Form LRXIV, with caps of 4 acres for farming, 500 sq m for a house and 300 sq m for a shop (Rule 38A, Rules of 1975). The rules allow the Collector 10 days and the State 10 days; The Tribune (October 2025) describes the process as lengthy, with several NOCs and some cases going to Cabinet, and gives no timeline.
The 12% duty: the Indian Stamp (Himachal Pradesh Amendment) Ordinance, 2025, dated 18 February 2025, sets duty at 12% of the higher of market value or consideration where the State grants permission under section 118(2)(h), regardless of gender (Legitquest copy). UNI reported in March 2025 that the rate had doubled from 6% as a bill was tabled (UNI, March 2025). Budgets drawn up before 2025 on a 6% basis are out of date.
A pending amendment: Bill 25 of 2025 would change Section 118, including a 3 plus 2 year use period and flats in RERA-registered projects up to 500 sq m (PRS bill text). The Assembly sent it to a select committee on 5 December 2025 (The Tribune, December 2025). We found no report that it has passed; until it does, the 1972 text applies.
NRI & OCI buyers: the RBI Master Direction under FEMA 1999 bars NRIs and OCIs from buying agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16). A Section 118 permission is a state matter and does not lift that bar.
- Section 118 required
- Stamp duty: 12% (Section 118)
- Rule 38A application
- No open-district carve-out
- NRI agri: barred (FEMA)

Mandi — district-specific notes
The Himachal Pradesh state page applies to Mandi in full. The notes below are the parts a Mandi buyer meets first. Law was read from the published texts and press reports named in each note; where an official page did not open, the note says so.
⚠ Who may buy: section 118 of the Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972 makes a transfer of land to a non-agriculturist invalid without prior State Government permission, and its explanation reaches benami deals and power-of-attorney or agreement arrangements (section 118 text, Indian Kanoon). An agriculturist is a person who cultivates land personally in the state (section 2(2), PRS copy of the Act), and the Supreme Court repeated the bar in Ajay Dabra v. Pyare Ram on 31 January 2023 (LiveLaw, February 2023). NRIs and OCIs may not buy agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house (RBI Master Direction).
⚠ The permission route: the application goes to the Collector, who is the Deputy Commissioner (State of H.P. v. Vinod Gupta, High Court, 2023), on Form LRXIV, with Rule 38A limits of 4 acres for farming, 500 sq m for a house and 300 sq m for a shop (Rule 38A, Indian Kanoon). The rules give the Collector and the State 10 days each; The Tribune reported in October 2025 that applicants collect several no-objection certificates, some cases reach Cabinet, and 215 approvals were given from 2022 to 31 July 2025 (The Tribune, October 2025). Bill 25 of 2025 would amend section 118 (Bill 25 of 2025, PRS) and went to a select committee on 5 December 2025 (The Tribune, December 2025). We found no report that it has passed, so treat the 1972 text as the law until it does.
⚠ Land ceiling: section 4 of the Himachal Pradesh Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1972 sets the limit for a person or a family of husband, wife and up to three minor children at 10 acres of land with assured irrigation for two crops, 15 acres for one crop and 30 acres for other land including orchards, with extra minors raising it by a fifth each up to twice the base (Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1972 (FAOLEX copy), FAOLEX copy; amendments after that copy were not checked). Tea estates are exempt under section 5. A buyer assembling a large orchard holding should check the family total.
⚠ Land records: under the Himachal Pradesh Land Revenue Act, 1954 the Deputy Commissioner is the Collector (section 7(2)), the record of rights is kept under section 32 and the patwari keeps the register of mutations (section 34(3)) (Land Revenue Act, 1954, PRS copy). Ask for a current copy of the record and the mutation history of the khasra before paying.
⚠ Planning: under the Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1977, development or a change of land use in a planning area with a plan in force needs the Director’s written permission (sections 27 and 30); section 30-A exempts some rural building, including farm-houses, where no plan is notified; unauthorised work is an offence and can be stopped, sealed or removed (sections 38 to 39-B) (Town and Country Planning Act, 1977, department copy). We did not find a notified plan or list of planning areas for Mandi, so ask the Town and Country Planning Department which rule covers the village.
⚠ Shikari Devi sanctuary: The Tribune reported on 15 January 2025 that 43 villages (34 in the Nachan Forest Division and 9 in Karsog) fall in an eco-sensitive zone running 50 m to 2 km from the 29.94 sq km sanctuary, where commercial mining, hotels and resorts, major hydropower and deforestation are barred and development must follow a zonal master plan (The Tribune, January 2025). Residents of 43 panchayats opposed the zone and the master plan was still being prepared (The Tribune, February 2025). We did not open the Gazette notification, so ask the Forest Division for the village list and the plan.
⚠ River and reservoir land: the Beas and Satluj are the main drainage (District Survey Report, Mandi (2024)), and the state electricity board warned in July 2025 of flash-flood risk along the Beas in Mandi when the Larji dam released about 200 cumecs (The Tribune, July 2025). We found no published rule on private land use beside the Pandoh or Larji reservoirs in the sources opened, so ask the Deputy Commissioner’s office whether any strip was acquired or restricted before paying a deposit.

District overview
Mandi — the Beas valley between Kullu and the plains, with a bypass and tunnels opening
Mandi is a mid-hill district of 3,950 sq km with 9,99,777 people at the 2011 Census (CGWB booklet). It was formed on 15 April 1948 by merging the princely states of Mandi and Suket (district portal), and its elevation runs from about 484 m to 4,011 m (District Survey Report 2024). The portal lists 12 sub-divisions, 17 tehsils and 14 blocks (same portal), puts Chandigarh 200 km away, names Kiratpur Sahib as the nearest station and Bhuntar, about 60 km from Mandi city, as the nearest airport (how to reach).
We publish no per-acre price band for Mandi. No dated price series or circle-rate schedule for the district was found, and The Tribune’s September 2025 report on unrevised circle rates names Kangra-area towns, not Mandi (The Tribune, September 2025). A circle rate is a registration floor, not a market price.
Mandi is farm country first. The ICAR-CRIDA plan, on 2008-09 data, shows wheat on 67.6 thousand ha, maize on 49.9 and rice on 19.5, with 15.4 thousand ha of apple (ICAR-CRIDA Mandi plan), and the state marketing board says about 79% of people depend on agriculture and allied activity (marketing board profile). Roads are the second driver: the Mandi bypass has been on trial traffic since September 2024 and the first two Pandoh–Takoli tunnels opened on 11 September 2026 (The Tribune, September 2026). The July 2025 cloudbursts in Gohar, Thunag and Karsog are the counterweight (The Tribune, July 2025).

of the higher of market value or consideration, minimum ₹100 (2012 notification)
For a transfer under a section 118 permission, duty is 12% of the higher of market value or consideration (ordinance text, Legitquest; UNI, March 2025). The 6% to 8% and 4% to 8% figures come from the Second Amendment Bill passed on 3 September 2026, as reported by ANI, September 2026 and Outlook Money, September 2026; neither report gives an effective date, and Bill 4 of 2026 on PRS covers a separate undervaluation change. The 2% registration fee comes from the Revenue Department notification of 12 January 2012; we found no later table. The state announced in May 2023 that physical stamp paper would be phased out after 31 March 2024 (The Tribune, May 2023). We found no Mandi-specific duty rule or circle-rate schedule, so check the table in force on the date of your deed with the Sub-Registrar.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Mandi
Official reports only: road works, the July 2025 cloudbursts and the absence of a price series. No listing-site prices are used.
Mandi town: bypass and tunnels
Bypass nearly 8 km, ₹725 crore (reported)
The Tribune reported on 30 September 2024 that the Mandi bypass, with three major bridges, seven minor bridges and four tunnels, was opened for traffic trials, with a formal inauguration planned after the Ner Chowk–Pandoh work (The Tribune, September 2024). Hoteliers in the town feared the bypass would divert tourists, while Kullu and Manali operators expected easier travel (The Tribune, September 2024).
Check: whether the bypass has been formally opened and where the access points and turn-offs fall for the parcel.
Pandoh to Takoli tunnels
Diyod 2.8 km and Hanogi 650 m opened 11 Sep 2026
One carriageway of each tunnel opened after trials; the project has five twin-tube tunnels in all and no completion date was given (The Tribune, September 2026). Tourism stakeholders estimated nearly an hour saved between Mandi and Manali.
Check: the status of the other three tunnels with NHAI before pricing land on the stretch.
Balh valley and Sundernagar
CGWB: groundwater development 15.36%, safe (2011)
The CGWB booklet records the Balh valley assessment as safe and notifies no block (CGWB Mandi booklet), and the district portal describes the valley as a wheat, paddy and vegetable area (HP State Agricultural Marketing Board, Mandi page). The Kiratpur–Nerchowk four-lane has bypasses around Sundernagar and Nerchowk (The Tribune, February 2026).
Check: borewell yield and the khasra’s irrigation source; the booklet data are from 2011 to 2013.
Seraj, Gohar, Thunag, Karsog
14 dead, 31 missing reported on 3 Jul 2025
The Tribune reported ten cloudbursts, three flash floods and a landslide in the district on 1 July 2025, 14 deaths and more than 150 houses damaged, with the body text giving 31 missing against 29 in the headline (The Tribune, July 2025).
Check: slope, drainage and the nearest nala; ask the seller for the 2025 damage history of the plot.
Asking prices
No sourced price series
No dated asking-price series or circle-rate schedule for Mandi was found, so none is shown. A collector or circle rate would only be a floor for registration.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same revenue estate before negotiating.
Local units
Local area units vary by village and no revenue manual with a Mandi conversion table was opened. Compare offers by the area in the revenue record in acres or square metres. Rule 38A states its limits in acres and square metres.
Connectivity
How Mandi connects — road, rail and air
Distance and rail facts come from the district portal; journey times vary with weather, landslides and road works.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Mandi
A mid-hill district of rainfed wheat and maize, apple and citrus, on the Beas and Satluj, with cloudburst and flood risk in the Seraj belt.
🌾 Mid-hill farmland (Balh valley, Sundernagar, Sarkaghat)
The ICAR-CRIDA plan places Mandi in the Mid Hills Sub-Humid zone (HP-2). On 2008-09 data, which are old, wheat covered 67.6 thousand ha (56.3 rainfed), maize 49.9 (47.4 rainfed), rice 19.5 and potato 2.4, from a net sown area of 85.8 thousand ha and a cropping intensity of 188%. Net irrigated area was 15.1 thousand ha and rainfed area 70.7 (ICAR-CRIDA Mandi plan).
- Wheat
- Maize
- Rice
- Potato
🍎 Orchards and vegetables
The same plan gives apple 15.4 thousand ha, citrus 4.3, mango 3.8, stone fruits 1.8 and walnut 1.01, with green peas 1.7 and tomato 1.05 (ICAR-CRIDA). The state marketing board says fruit area is about 15% of the state’s total and apple is planted in December (marketing board). Neither source gives a current production series.
- Apple
- Citrus
- Mango
- Green peas
🌊 Beas, Satluj and hazards
The Beas and Satluj form the main drainage, with the Suketi Khad a major Beas tributary (District Survey Report 2024). The Tribune listed Mandi in seismic Zone V in December 2023 (The Tribune, December 2023); a December 2025 report says the new BIS map places the whole state in a new Zone VI (Himachalscape, December 2025), which should be checked against the code. Larji dam releases triggered a flash-flood alert in July 2025.
- Beas
- Suketi Khad
- Zone V
- Cloudburst
💧 Water & rainfall
Normal annual rainfall is 1,250.3 mm in the ICAR-CRIDA plan and 1,331.5 mm in the CGWB booklet, with a district range of 700 to over 2,000 mm; the two do not agree, so we give both. CGWB (September 2013) says hard rock covers about 65% of the district with yields under 3 litres per second, semi-consolidated rock about 32% with 2 to 10, and valley alluvium about 3% with 10 to 30; no block was notified and the Balh valley stood at 15.36% development, safe, in 2011 (CGWB booklet). Canals supplied 76.2% of irrigated area and lift schemes 19.3% in the ICAR-CRIDA plan. Ask for the parcel’s water source before planting.
📐 Measurement units
Local area units vary by village and no revenue manual with a Mandi conversion table was opened, so convert every quote to acres or square metres before comparing two offers. The marketing board’s Mandi page lists crops but no prices (marketing board profile); check the market on the day. Crop income is modest next to land values, so price a parcel on location and permitted use.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Mandi
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that no price series exists and several road items are still open.
A highway corridor that is changing shape
The Kiratpur–Nerchowk four-lane opened in March 2024, the Mandi bypass has been on trial traffic since September 2024 and the first Pandoh–Takoli tunnels opened in September 2026. The Mandi–Pandoh stretch had no published deadline in February 2026, so time the real drive to the parcel.
A permission filter on supply
Section 118 limits who may buy, and The Tribune reported 215 approvals statewide from 2022 to 31 July 2025. Whether that supports Mandi prices is not shown by any series we found.
A farm base with dated numbers
Wheat, maize and rice lead by area and apple covers 15.4 thousand ha in the 2008-09 plan. These are old figures, so the return case rests on permitted use and location, not crop yield.
Air and rail sit outside the district
Bhuntar is about 60 km away and its runway extension was reported not viable in July 2026. The rail line to Joginder Nagar is narrow gauge and was cut by landslides in July 2025. Treat both as limits, not catalysts.
Hazard is part of the price
Seismic Zone V, the July 2025 cloudbursts and Beas flood alerts mean slope, drainage and distance from the river decide whether a parcel is usable.
Confirm Section 118, planning, flood and eco-sensitive status directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Mandi
Read these before shortlisting in Mandi specifically.
Section 118 invalidity
A transfer to a non-agriculturist without permission is invalid, and land that is diverted or left unused can vest in the State. Possession and a registered deed do not prove a valid purchase; ask for the permission order.
Cloudburst and flash floods
Ten cloudbursts hit Gohar, Thunag and Karsog on 1 July 2025 and the body of The Tribune’s report counted 14 dead and 31 missing. Check slope, drainage and 2025 damage history.
Seismic and slope risk
Mandi is listed in seismic Zone V and a December 2025 report puts the whole state in a new Zone VI. Hill-cut plots and steep access roads need a geotechnical view before construction.
River and reservoir land
The Beas floods fast when the Larji dam releases water. Ask whether a strip near the river or a reservoir was acquired or restricted, and keep clear of the bank.
Shikari Devi eco-sensitive zone
Villages within 50 m to 2 km of the sanctuary are reported to be under a zonal master plan that bars hotels and resorts and commercial mining. Ask the Forest Division whether the khasra is inside it.
Announced is not delivered
The Mandi–Pandoh stretch had no deadline in February 2026, the bypass had no reported formal opening and the Pathankot line is at survey stage. Price on today’s roads.
No sourced price series
We use no listing-site prices for Mandi and found no circle-rate schedule. Collect registered comparables before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Section 118 applications go to the Deputy Commissioner, Mandi, who is the Collector (High Court, 2023; Land Revenue Act, 1954). Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil or sub-tehsil listed on the Mandi district portal, and the patwari keeps the mutation register. Sale deeds are registered by the local Sub-Registrar. Permission to develop or change land use in a planning or special area comes from the Town and Country Planning Department under the 1977 Act (Act text), and the Forest Division (Nachan or Karsog for the Shikari Devi zone) confirms whether a khasra lies inside the eco-sensitive zone. Land records are on Himbhoomi. We could not open the Himbhoomi, registration or section 118 portals, so we do not link them; ask the Deputy Commissioner’s office for the current application route and fees.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Mandi.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
Can outsiders buy agricultural land in Mandi?
Only with prior State Government permission under Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, unless the buyer is an agriculturist who cultivates land personally in the state. The application goes to the Deputy Commissioner as Collector on Form LRXIV, with Rule 38A limits of 4 acres for farming, 500 sq m for a house and 300 sq m for a shop. Bill 25 of 2025 would amend Section 118 but went to a select committee in December 2025, and we found no report that it has passed.
02 of 04
What does land cost in Mandi?
We publish no per-acre price band for Mandi. No dated asking-price series or circle-rate schedule for the district was found, and The Tribune’s September 2025 report on unrevised circle rates names Kangra-area towns, not Mandi. Collect registered sale deeds from the same revenue estate before negotiating.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Mandi?
Duty is 12% of the higher of market value or consideration where the State grants Section 118 permission, under an ordinance of 18 February 2025. A bill passed in September 2026 is reported to set 6% to 8% for other buyers and 4% to 8% for women, with no effective date reported. Registration is 2% under the 2012 notification; check the table in force with the Sub-Registrar.
04 of 04
Which roads and hazards affect land in Mandi?
The Mandi bypass has been on trial traffic since September 2024, the Diyod and Hanogi tunnels of the Pandoh–Takoli project opened on 11 September 2026 with one carriageway each, and the Mandi–Pandoh stretch had no published deadline in February 2026. Ten cloudbursts hit Gohar, Thunag and Karsog on 1 July 2025, and Mandi is listed in seismic Zone V.
