Land law is state law. These rules are maintained on the Madhya Pradesh page and apply to every district within it.
Anuppur — land purchase legal rules
⚠ Madhya Pradesh does not run on a single rule for farmland. Tribal land, land above the holding ceiling, diverted land and ordinary farmland each follow a different track, and the Collector’s office sits at the centre of the first. Work out which track a parcel is on before looking at the price.
Which office decides what: A member of a tribe that the Code treats as aboriginal needs written permission from a revenue officer of at least Collector rank to sell land outside a notified area, and in a notified area the bar on sale to a non-tribal is absolute (section 165(6); Supreme Court, April 2025). The Supreme Court accepted in April 2025 that an Additional Collector can grant that permission under a valid work-allocation order (Lawyer E-News, April 2025). Sale deeds are registered through the Registration Department, which launched the Sampada 2.0 online registration system in October 2024 (The Statesman, October 2024).
Section 165 and tribal land: The April 2025 judgment concerned 6.29 hectares in Ratlam district outside the notified tehsils; the sale went through because the Additional Collector had given written permission, the price was above market value and a 10-year bar on changing the land’s use was attached under section 165(6-ee) (Supreme Court, April 2025). The High Court had earlier upheld the same sale and noted the Patwari’s report, the sellers’ need to fund a marriage and settle loans, and the land they kept (High Court, October 2023). Permission is a gate, not a formality: a sale with no permission is exposed. Under section 170B a transfer made by fraud can be reverted to the tribal owner or heirs, and the Supreme Court in March 2019 held that a civil court could not revisit a Collector’s 1985 section 170B order that had survived a writ petition (Supreme Court, March 2019).
Wills and indirect transfers: In February 2025 the High Court held that “transfer” in section 165(6) is not confined to sale and covers a Will of tribal land in favour of a non-tribal, so Collector permission was needed there too (High Court, February 2025). A buyer cannot assume that an inheritance document or a power of attorney avoids the permission step. There is a narrow carve-out: in October 2024 the High Court, relying on an older Division Bench ruling, held that sections 165(6) and 170 do not apply to Nazul land in an urban area, and sent the question of whether a given parcel was Nazul or Abadi back to the Additional Commissioner (High Court, October 2024).
Diversion and the Code: Turning farmland to another use is a diversion. A June 2022 High Court order refers to land “diverted under section 172” to non-agricultural purposes, and the Supreme Court has described section 59 as allowing reassessment of land revenue on a change of use, with a premium that the Sub-Divisional Officer may impose (High Court, June 2022; Supreme Court, August 2008). We could not read the current text of sections 172 and 190, so this page does not describe their procedure or fees, and a seller’s diversion order should be read in full, not taken on trust.
Ceiling on holdings: The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 caps how much one holder or family may hold and provides for acquiring surplus land. In the 2021 case the Supreme Court quoted section 7(b) as allowing a family of five or fewer 54 acres, and set aside surplus declarations where a pending suit had not been disclosed (Supreme Court, January 2021). A legal-database copy of the Act lists three tiers for a family of five or fewer: 18 acres of two-crop irrigated land, 27 acres of one-crop irrigated land and 54 acres of dry land, and says land cannot be transferred before the final ceiling order without the Collector’s written permission, unless the holder is within the ceiling (legal database text of the 1960 Act). Treat those figures as the Act’s text as published there, and have a lawyer check the current schedule before buying a large holding.
Who may buy: None of the court orders or Act texts we opened bars a buyer simply for not being a farmer; the limits that turned up were the tribal-land permission in section 165(6) and the ceiling on holdings. We found no state notice listing other buyer conditions, so confirm with the Registration Department and the Collector’s office that none applies to the district you are looking at.
Registration and stamping: The Indian Stamp (Madhya Pradesh Second Amendment) Act, 2025 was published on 17 December 2025 and changes how short-stamped documents are handled, including a penalty of 1% of the deficient portion per month (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025). Duty rates are covered in the stamp duty section below.
Land records: Madhya Pradesh land records (khasra and the B-1 extract) are issued through the state’s MP Bhulekh portal. We could not open that portal for this page and found no independent description of its current fields or fees, so ask the seller for a fresh extract and compare the survey number, area and recorded owner with the sale deed.
NRI and OCI buyers: The Reserve Bank’s Master Direction under FEMA 1999 excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farm house from what NRIs and OCIs may buy, in Madhya Pradesh as elsewhere (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). They can buy other immovable assets such as residential or commercial sites, and inheritance is treated separately in the Direction. Benami-law exposure was not checked against the Act text for this page, so take legal advice before using a nominee.

Anuppur — district-specific notes
The Madhya Pradesh state page applies to Anuppur in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated from the state page. Law was read from court orders and a legal-database copy of the Scheduled Areas Order; the Land Revenue Code, India Code and the MP Bhulekh portal could not be opened.
⚠ Anuppur is a Scheduled-Area district in large part. The legal-database copy of the Scheduled Areas Order, 2003 that we read lists Pushparajgarh, Anuppur, Jaithari and Kotma tahsils of Shahdol district (Scheduled Areas Order, 2003 (legal-database copy)), and Anuppur was formed from Shahdol in 2003 (Anuppur portal). The portal puts Scheduled Tribes at 3,58,543 in 2011 (Anuppur portal). We have not matched the Order tehsils to the current four tehsils against the gazette, so CONFIRM before relying on them. In a notified area the bar on sale of tribal land to a non-tribal is absolute; outside one, a member of a tribe that the Land Revenue Code treats as aboriginal needs written permission from a revenue officer of at least Collector rank (section 165(6); Supreme Court, April 2025).
⚠ A Will of tribal land in favour of a non-tribal needs the same permission (High Court, February 2025), and a transfer made by fraud can be reverted under section 170B (Supreme Court, March 2019). Check the recorded holder and the title chain of every parcel before any payment.
⚠ Turning farm land to another use is a diversion. A 2022 High Court order refers to land "diverted under section 172", and the Supreme Court has described section 59 as allowing reassessment on a change of use with a premium (High Court, June 2022; Supreme Court, August 2008). We could not read the current text of sections 172 and 190, so read any diversion order in full. The Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 caps holdings: the Supreme Court quoted section 7(b) as 54 acres for a family of five or fewer in 2021 (Supreme Court, January 2021), and a legal-database copy lists 18, 27 and 54 acre tiers and bars transfer before the final ceiling order without the Collector’s written permission (legal-database text). Treat the tiers as CONFIRM and ask a Madhya Pradesh lawyer for the current schedule before assembling a large holding.
⚠ The portal reports about 20.40% of the district under forest (Anuppur portal), and the Narmada source area at Amarkantak is in the district. We did not open forest-division, protected-area, eco-sensitive-zone or mining-lease records, so ask the Divisional Forest Officer and the mining office whether a khasra touches reserved forest, a protected area or a lease. None of the court orders or Act texts opened for the Madhya Pradesh state page bars a buyer for not being a farmer; the limits found were the tribal-land permission and the holding ceiling. NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house under the RBI Master Direction (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022).

District overview
Anuppur — a forested Baghelkhand district of paddy, rail towns and the Narmada source
Anuppur lies in the south-east of Madhya Pradesh. The district portal gives 3,746.71 sq km, 7,49,237 people and 603 villages, without a Census year, and says the district was formed from Shahdol on 15 August 2003 (Anuppur district portal). It describes mountain, intermediate plateau and river sections, names the Narmada and Son as rising at Amarkantak, lists the Juhila, Kewai and Tipan as major rivers, and reports about 20.40% of the area as forest (Anuppur portal, about the district).
We found no official per-acre figure for Anuppur. The only dated guideline-rate items we could source are statewide: a 2023 revision at about 18,000 locations and a 12% average rise proposed for Bhopal in 2026 (Free Press Journal, March 2023; Dainik Jagran English, 25 March 2026). The bands on this page, marked with an asterisk, are our own indicative ranges derived by analogy with other eastern Madhya Pradesh districts and kept wide. A guideline rate is a floor for registration, not what a seller will accept.
Anuppur is paddy, forest and rail-town land. The ICAR-CRIDA district plan (2013) puts rice at about 1.08 lakh ha in 2008-09, far ahead of minor millets (18,800 ha), wheat (12,900 ha) and maize (12,500 ha), with about 4% of net sown area irrigated (ICAR-CRIDA, 2013). The portal lists paddy, kodo, kutki and maize as the main crops, with pulses and oilseeds, and gives Anuppur, Kotma, Bijuri, Amla and Jaitihari among its main railway stations (Anuppur portal). The portal’s how-to-reach page is written for Amarkantak and gives Jabalpur airport at 240 km (Anuppur portal, how to reach). South East Central Railway was reported to have commissioned a 165.52 km third line between Anuppur and Katni in June 2025 (Indian Infrastructure, June 2025). We found no pending road, airport or industrial project, so the case rests on existing rail access and low entry prices, not on a named project.

Combined, reported arithmetic
an earlier report put the range at 9.5% to 12.5%; confirm with the Sub-Registrar
Dainik Jagran English reported on 27 March 2026 stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3% on the higher of market value or transaction value (Dainik Jagran English, March 2026). Its 25 March piece said a guideline-rate rise would raise duty and fees in proportion (Dainik Jagran English, 25 March 2026). We could not open the Registration Department’s own fee page, so treat these as reported figures and ask the Sub-Registrar for the current schedule for agricultural land. Since 17 December 2025 a short-stamped document attracts a penalty of 1% of the shortfall per month (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025). Registration can be done online through Sampada 2.0, which also shows guideline rates by location (The Statesman, October 2024). Anuppur-specific schedules, if any, were not found.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Anuppur
No official per-acre series was found. The cards below carry estimated bands (asterisk) and say what to check. *Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline or ready-reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar.
Road and rail towns: Anuppur, Kotma and Jaithari
Estimated ₹8–25 lakh per acre*
The portal lists Anuppur, Kotma, Jaitihari, Bijuri and Amla among the district’s main railway stations (Anuppur portal). Land near the stations and tehsil towns carries a premium to the interior. The band is derived by analogy with Rewa and Satna interior and edge land and kept wide.
Check: the access road in the revenue record, whether the parcel is irrigated and the recorded holder.
Paddy and plateau interior
Estimated ₹3–10 lakh per acre*
Paddy, kodo, kutki and maize are the main crops on the portal (Anuppur portal). Distance from stations and lower crop value keep the estimate low. No registered series was found.
Check: irrigation source and whether the khasra is tribal-held.
Forest-edge and tribal-held parcels
Estimated ₹2–6 lakh per acre*
About 20.40% of the district is forest and Scheduled Tribes numbered 3,58,543 in 2011 per the portal (Anuppur portal). The estimate is lowest here because permission rules and forest boundaries limit use and resale.
Check: section 165(6) permission, forest-boundary maps and any mining-lease or protected-area overlap.
Guideline rates
No Anuppur figure found
Statewide, rates were revised at about 18,000 locations from 1 April 2023 (Free Press Journal, March 2023), and the 2026-27 proposal reported for Bhopal does not cover Anuppur (Dainik Jagran English, 25 March 2026).
Check: the rate for the village on the Sampada 2.0 portal or at the Sub-Registrar on the day of registration.
Units: acres, hectares and local terms
Land in Madhya Pradesh is recorded by survey number, with area in hectares in court orders and acres in the Ceiling Act figures; one hectare is about 2.47 acres (our arithmetic). Local units vary by district and tehsil and no revenue manual was opened for them, so convert every quote to acres or hectares and ask the Patwari what the khasra records before comparing two offers.
Connectivity
How Anuppur connects — road, rail and air
The portal’s how-to-reach page is written for Amarkantak, so distances there are not district-wide. No independent drive times were checked.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Anuppur
A forested, rain-fed paddy district where kodo and kutki still appear alongside maize and pulses.
🌾 Paddy and millet farming
The portal lists paddy, kodo, kutki and maize as the main crops, urad, tur, lentil and gram among pulses, and sesame, ramtil and groundnut among oilseeds, with sunflower and soybean now grown, and says only 2.26% of the sown area is irrigated (Anuppur portal, about the district). The ICAR-CRIDA plan (2013) shows rice at about 1.08 lakh ha in 2008-09 against minor millets 18,800 ha, wheat 12,900 ha, maize 12,500 ha and niger 12,400 ha, on 1.05 lakh ha net sown with a cropping intensity of 131% and about 4% of net sown area irrigated, so most farm land is rain-fed paddy (ICAR-CRIDA, 2013). Neither source names a mandi. The 2013 CGWB booklet for Shahdol, from before the 2003 split, lists clayey loam and sandy loam soils for that larger district (CGWB Shahdol profile).

- Kodo and kutki
- Maize

🌊 Rivers and forest
The portal says the Narmada and Son rise at Amarkantak and lists the Juhila, Kewai and Tipan as major rivers, with about 20.40% of the district under forest including sal, teak and amla (Anuppur portal). We found no sourced flood record, so ask the seller about stream crossings and forest boundaries. The ICAR-CRIDA plan, however, gives 2.37 lakh ha of forest, about 63% of the portal’s 3,746.71 sq km on our arithmetic, so the two sources disagree; ask the Forest Department for the status of any parcel (ICAR-CRIDA, 2013).
- Narmada
- Son
- Sal and teak
- Forest cover
🧭 Boundary and records
The district was formed from Shahdol in 2003 (Anuppur portal), so documents older than that describe Shahdol. Ask for the current tehsil and revenue circle of any khasra.
- Shahdol split
- 2003
- Tehsil check
💧 Water & rainfall
We could not open a groundwater profile for Anuppur itself. The 2013 CGWB booklet for Shahdol, which describes the district before the 2003 split, lists five Shahdol blocks (Beohari, Jaisinghnagar, Sohagpur, Gohparu and Burhar), not the Anuppur blocks, so its figures (district stage of development about 6–7%, all blocks Safe, normal rainfall about 1,131 mm) are context for the region, not an Anuppur reading (CGWB Shahdol profile, 2013). The 2024 assessment puts Madhya Pradesh as a whole at 58.40% extraction, in its Safe range (CGWB, GWRA-2024). Check borewell yield on the ground. The ICAR-CRIDA plan gives normal annual rainfall of 1,235.6 mm for Anuppur itself (1,103 mm in the south-west monsoon), above the 1,131 mm in the Shahdol booklet; it names four blocks but its groundwater table could not be read reliably (ICAR-CRIDA, 2013).
📐 Measurement units
Land in Madhya Pradesh is recorded by survey number, with area in hectares in court orders and acres in the Ceiling Act figures; one hectare is about 2.47 acres (our arithmetic). Local units vary by district and tehsil and no revenue manual was opened for them, so convert every quote to acres or hectares and ask the Patwari what the khasra records before comparing two offers. Live mandi prices are on the state and national mandi portals (not opened for this page); crop income is modest next to land values, so price a parcel on location and permitted use.

| Anuppur — paddy and plateau interior | ₹3–10 lakh* | Estimated; wide band |
| Rewa — interior farm land | ₹8–25 lakh* | Estimated; see the Rewa page |
| Satna — interior farm land | ₹6–20 lakh* | Estimated; see the Satna page |
*Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline or ready-reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar. Rewa and Satna are other Baghelkhand-region pages and are not direct neighbours. See the Rewa page and the Satna page.
Neighbouring Shahdol and Umaria lie on the same Anuppur–Katni third-line corridor (Indian Infrastructure, June 2025), so rail access is a regional feature of this belt rather than an Anuppur-only edge.
Farmland India view
Why investors look at Anuppur
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and no project inside the district is confirmed.
Existing rail towns
The portal lists five main stations in the district, which gives parcels near Anuppur, Kotma and Jaithari an access base that interior districts lack.
Low entry price
Paddy and forest-edge land sits at the low end of the state’s bands in our estimates, which also means thin resale demand. Plan a long hold.
Narmada source region
Amarkantak, where the Narmada and Son rise, is in the district per the portal. We found no sourced land-use rules for the area, so check them with the Collector and the forest office.
Scheduled-Area rules decide deals
Four tehsils appear in the Scheduled Areas Order, 2003 as Shahdol tehsils. Tribal-land permission is the first test of any title.
Rail is built; nothing else is pending
The Anuppur–Katni third line is reported commissioned and is part of today’s access. We found no pending named project inside the district, so any premium for a future corridor would be speculation.
Confirm tribal-land status, ceiling proceedings, diversion and groundwater directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review. *Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline or ready-reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Anuppur
Read these before shortlisting in Anuppur specifically.
Tribal-land permission
A sale by a tribal landholder without Collector-rank written permission is exposed (Supreme Court, April 2025), and inside a notified area the bar is absolute. A Will needs the same permission (High Court, February 2025).
Forest and protected-area overlap
The portal says about 20.40% of the district is forest, but the ICAR-CRIDA plan gives 2.37 lakh ha, roughly 63% of the portal area on our arithmetic. We did not open forest or protected-area maps; ask for them before paying.
Mining and lease land
We did not open any mining-lease records for the district. Ask the mining office whether a khasra lies in or near a lease.
Records from before 2003
Older documents place these villages in Shahdol. Ask for the village’s current tehsil and Sub-Registrar office.
Diversion and premium
Change of use can bring reassessment and a premium (Supreme Court, August 2008). We could not read the current procedure under sections 172 and 190, so ask for the diversion order and the premium receipt.
Ceiling-surplus land
Holdings above the ceiling can be declared surplus (Supreme Court, January 2021). Ask whether proceedings were ever opened on the seller’s family.
A reported, not official, duty rate
The 7.5% duty and 3% fee come from a March 2026 press report. Ask the Sub-Registrar for the current schedule.
Estimated, not registered, prices*
The land-price bands here are indicative estimates, not registered deals. Collect registered comparables from the same revenue estate before negotiating.
Low irrigation cover
The portal says only 2.26% of the sown area is irrigated and the ICAR-CRIDA plan puts it at about 4%, so most farm land is rain-fed paddy and thin on irrigation income. Check water access before paying a farm-land price.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil and the village Patwari; permission to sell tribal-held land comes from a revenue officer of Collector rank or above, and the Supreme Court accepted in 2025 that an Additional Collector can act under a work-allocation order (Supreme Court, April 2025). The District Collector’s office is on the Anuppur district portal. The portal states four tehsils, each with a Tehsildar and village Patwaris. Because the district was formed from Shahdol in 2003, confirm which Sub-Registrar covers the village. Where land is tribal-held, the permission file sits with the Collector’s office. Sale deeds are registered with the Sub-Registrar under the Registration Department, also online through Sampada 2.0 (The Statesman, October 2024). For forest-edge or reserved-forest boundaries, ask the Divisional Forest Officer’s office. We could not open the MP Bhulekh, Registration Department or India Code pages, so check them directly.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Anuppur.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
Can an outsider buy agricultural land in Anuppur?
The 2003 Scheduled Areas Order lists Pushparajgarh, Anuppur, Jaithari and Kotma tahsils of Shahdol district, which we take to be the four tehsils of Anuppur (CONFIRM with the gazette). Inside a notified area the bar on sale of tribal land to a non-tribal is absolute; outside one, Collector-rank written permission is needed (Supreme Court, April 2025). NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land (RBI Master Direction).
02 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Anuppur?
We found no official per-acre figure. Our indicative estimate* is about ₹8–25 lakh per acre near the rail towns, ₹3–10 lakh for paddy and plateau interior and ₹2–6 lakh for forest-edge or tribal-held parcels, with wide margins. *Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline or ready-reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Anuppur?
Dainik Jagran English reported in March 2026 stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3%, about 10.5% together, on the higher of market value or transaction value. We could not open the Registration Department page, so confirm the rate with the Sub-Registrar. A short-stamped deed attracts a penalty of 1% a month on the shortfall (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025).
04 of 04
How much of Anuppur is forest?
The district portal reports about 20.40% of the district under forest, with sal, teak and amla among the main trees. We did not open forest-division or protected-area maps, so ask the Divisional Forest Officer whether a khasra touches reserved forest.

Data-currency note: the CGWB booklet is from 2013 and covers Shahdol before the 2003 split; the district portal figures carry no Census year and its how-to-reach page is written for Amarkantak; infrastructure statuses were read in October 2026 and change quickly; the stamp duty is a press-reported figure. The ICAR-CRIDA plan uses 2008-09 crop data and its forest and groundwater tables conflict with the portal or could not be read; the Anuppur–Katni line is press-reported. Land-price bands marked with an asterisk are indicative estimates, not valuations. The MP Bhulekh portal, the Registration Department site, India Code and the Land Revenue Code text could not be opened, so nothing is attributed to a reading of them. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Report inaccuracies to wiki@farmlandindia.com.
