Land law is state law. These rules are maintained on the Madhya Pradesh page and apply to every district within it.
Panna — 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.

Panna — district-specific notes
Read these before any advance. They sit on top of the state rules and are not a substitute for a lawyer's title check.
⚠ State framework applies in full: the buyer rules on our Madhya Pradesh state page (tribal-land permission, the holding ceiling, the FEMA bar on NRIs) hold in Panna district. The notes below are specific to this district. Court orders and news reports were read in October 2026; the Land Revenue Code, the Registration Department and MP Bhulekh could not be opened, and the district portal (opened) does not list tehsils (automated fetches were refused), so a local advocate should read the current text.
⚠ Diversion has changed form: a June 2022 High Court order still speaks of land "diverted under section 172" (High Court, June 2022). A legal-database copy of the 2018 amending Act lists a deletion of section 172 and a new section 59, under which the landholder works out the premium and reassessed revenue, pays it and tells the Sub-Divisional Officer, and the land is treated as diverted from the date of that intimation (Land Revenue Code Amendment Act 2018). The same text says the SDO can act without an intimation, with a penalty of 50%. The Supreme Court described the premium and reassessment under the older section 59 in 2008 (Supreme Court, August 2008). Ask the Tehsildar or SDO which route applies and ask the seller for the receipt. This remains CONFIRM-WITH-OFFICE.
⚠ Tribal land and the seller's category: sections 165(6) and 170B apply wherever the seller holds land as a member of a tribe the Code treats as aboriginal. The 2013 CGWB profile does not mention tribal blocks for Panna (CGWB, 2013), and we did not map notified villages. Collector-level permission is needed to sell such land outside notified areas (Supreme Court, April 2025); a Will in favour of a non-tribal needs the same permission (High Court, February 2025); a fraudulent transfer can be reverted under section 170B (Supreme Court, March 2019). Ask the Tehsildar for the seller's category.
⚠ Panna Tiger Reserve: the NTCA brief note gives a core of about 576.13 sq km, covering all of Panna National Park and part of Gangau Wildlife Sanctuary, and a buffer of about 1,002.42 sq km declared in 2012 across Panna, Chhatarpur and Damoh, with 49 buffer villages; 13 of 16 core villages have been voluntarily relocated (NTCA Panna brief note). We did not find an eco-sensitive-zone notification, so ask the Forest Department whether a survey number lies in the core, the buffer, a reserved forest or a revenue forest before paying any advance.
⚠ Mining land: the district portal describes Panna as known for its diamond mines (district portal). We found no mining-lease map or list of lease villages, so ask the District Collector and the Mining Officer whether a parcel lies in or beside a lease, and whether surface rights and mineral rights are held by different parties.
⚠ Ceiling: the Supreme Court quoted the 54-acre limit under the 1960 Ceiling Act in 2021 (Supreme Court, January 2021); a legal-database copy gives lower tiers for smaller families (Ceiling Act text). This remains CONFIRM-WITH-OFFICE.
⚠ NRIs, OCIs and records: NRIs and OCIs may not buy agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house under FEMA 1999 (RBI Master Direction). Compare a fresh khasra and B-1 extract from MP Bhulekh with the sale deed on survey number, area and owner; the portal was not opened for this page.

District overview
Panna — a tiger-reserve and diamond district on the Bundelkhand edge
Panna covers 7,135 sq km in the Bundelkhand and Vindhya border region. The 2013 CGWB profile counts 8 tehsils, 5 blocks and 10,16,028 people (Census 2011) (CGWB, 2013). The district portal describes it as a diamond-mining district that contains the Panna Tiger Reserve, the Ken River and the Pranami sect's main pilgrimage site (district portal).
The Panna Tiger Reserve is the main land-use constraint. Its core is about 576.13 sq km and its buffer about 1,002.42 sq km, spread across Panna, Chhatarpur and Damoh (NTCA Panna brief note). Farm land near the reserve may carry forest classification or eco-development conditions that a revenue record does not show.
Farming is rain-fed and well-irrigated: the 2013 profile lists gram, wheat, rice and lentil, and 13,329 dug wells (CGWB, 2013). We found no guideline-rate report, no compensation award and no dated price series for Panna, and no road, rail or airport project tied to it in the sources opened.
The estimated bands on this page, marked *, are Farmland India estimates by analogy with comparable Bundelkhand and Vindhya districts, not a sourced series, and they are wide on purpose.

Registration fee (reported)

~10.5%
Combined (reported)
arithmetic of the two reported rates
Stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3% on the higher of market value or transaction value were reported on 27 March 2026 (Dainik Jagran English, March 2026). A 25 March piece put the combined range at 9.5% to 12.5% and said charges would rise in step with any guideline-rate rise (Dainik Jagran English, 25 March 2026). The Registration Department's own fee page was not opened, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the current schedule for agricultural land before budgeting; levies or concessions can change the total. Since 17 December 2025 a short-stamped document attracts a penalty of 1% of the shortfall per month (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025).
We found no Panna-specific guideline-rate report for 2026-27, so no district average is quoted. Guideline rates are set village by village and colony by colony, and the rate for a survey number can be looked up on Sampada 2.0 (The Statesman, October 2024). The state-level reports above do not give a farm land figure for Panna.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Panna
Five signals from reports and official profiles. No guideline-rate report for Panna and no asking-price series was found; the estimated bands on this page are marked *.
Tiger reserve buffer
49 buffer villages
The buffer was declared in 2012 and covers about 1,002.42 sq km across Panna, Chhatarpur and Damoh, with 49 villages needing special eco-development packages (NTCA Panna brief note). Tourism near the reserve can support homestays and farm stays, but the buffer limits what can be built.
Check: the Forest Department's classification and any buffer or eco-sensitive-zone restriction on the survey number.
Core relocation
13 of 16 core villages
Thirteen of 16 villages in the core have been voluntarily relocated, per the NTCA note (NTCA Panna brief note). Relocation compensation is not a market price for land elsewhere.
Check: whether the seller's land came from a relocation package.
Diamond-mining district
Mining land
The district portal calls Panna known for its diamond mines (district portal). We found no lease list, so land beside mining areas needs a mining-department check.
Check: lease status and mineral rights with the Collector's office.
Dug-well farming
13,329 dug wells (2013)
Dug wells are the main irrigation source; net irrigated area was 45.8 thousand ha and gross irrigated area 78.5 thousand ha, with groundwater 27% developed in 2008-09 (CGWB, 2013). The source-wise area figures in the profile do not add up cleanly.
Check: a borewell or dug-well history for the plot.
Units: hectare, acre, sq m
Convert before comparing
Court orders in this state describe holdings in survey numbers and hectares (High Court, June 2022), the Ceiling Act figures are in acres, and guideline rates for colonies are per sq m. One hectare is about 2.47 acres and one acre about 4,047 sq m (our arithmetic). Local units can differ by tehsil and village.
Check: the area in hectares on the khasra before comparing quotes.
Connectivity
How Panna connects — road, rail and air
Road and rail facts for Panna come from the district portal and two news reports; no airport or distance table was found.

The ICAR-CRIDA plan lists, for 2008-09, chickpea (94.1 thousand ha), wheat (62.8), rice (55.5) and lentil (19.9) on a net sown area of 234.1 thousand ha, with a net irrigated area of 78.5 thousand ha, about 34% (our arithmetic), more than half of it from reservoirs and other sources, and normal rainfall of 1,182.9 mm (ICAR-CRIDA, Panna). The CGWB table on this page gives different irrigated-area splits, so treat both as indicative. We found no mandi data.
- Chickpea
- Wheat
- Rice
- Lentil
- Reservoirs
💧 Water and groundwater
Dug wells are the main source, with 13,329 in the 2013 profile; net irrigated area was 45.8 thousand ha and gross irrigated area 78.5 thousand ha. Net annual groundwater availability was 47,108 ham against a gross draft of 12,938 ham, a 27% stage of development (CGWB, 2013; data for 2008-09). The state-wide stage of extraction was 58.40% in 2024 (CGWB, GWRA-2024); no 2024 figure for Panna was found. Test borewell water before building.
📐 Measurement units and market prices
Court orders use survey numbers and hectares; the Ceiling Act uses acres; guideline rates for colonies are per sq m. Convert before comparing. Mandi prices for the nearest regulated market are on Agmarknet. Crop income is small beside land values at the town edge, so price a parcel on access, forest status, mining status and title, not yield.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Panna
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the tiger-reserve buffer, mining land and the lack of price series are the main discounts.
A wildlife and tourism edge
The Panna Tiger Reserve and the town's pilgrimage and temple heritage (district portal) bring visitors. The buffer limits building, so tourism upside is mainly for plots with clean revenue-land status.
Low entry prices
Our estimated bands, marked *, sit well below the metro belts. Wide bands mean the real range for a given parcel can differ a lot, so use registered deeds nearby.
Low groundwater stress on paper
The 2013 profile put the stage of development at 27% (CGWB, 2013), which suggests room for new wells, but the data is for 2008-09 and the source-wise figures do not add up cleanly.
An open buyer pool outside tribal land
No bar on buyers who are not farmers was found in the sources opened; the limits are the ceiling, tribal-land permission and the FEMA bar on NRIs and OCIs.
Clean paperwork is the edge
A buyer who reads the khasra and B-1, asks for the forest status, the mining status and the diversion receipt, is ahead of one who relies on a broker's summary.
Confirm title, zone and acquisition status directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Panna
Read these before shortlisting in Panna specifically.
Tiger-reserve buffer and forest land
The buffer has 49 villages and the core relocation is ongoing (NTCA Panna brief note). Check the Forest Department's classification of the survey number before paying.
Mining land
Diamond mining is part of the district's profile (district portal); no lease list was found. Ask about leases, mineral rights and surface rights.
Tribal-land restrictions
A sale of tribal land without Collector permission is exposed (Supreme Court, April 2025), and a fraudulent transfer can be reversed under section 170B (Supreme Court, March 2019).
Thin infrastructure record
We found no airport or highway project beyond NH 39 that names Panna, and the rail line and dam road are still unfinished. Price a parcel on today's access.
Old data
Farm and groundwater figures are from 2013 and earlier; the population in the district portal differs slightly from the CGWB figure (CGWB, 2013; district portal).
Diversion and premium
Change of use brings reassessment and a premium (Code Amendment Act 2018). Ask for the diversion order and the payment receipt.
Ceiling and records
Holdings above the ceiling can be declared surplus (Supreme Court, January 2021). MP Bhulekh was not opened for this page, so compare a fresh khasra and B-1 with the deed.
Reserve works and an unopened rail line
The Daudhan dam road is being built inside the reserve core with the afforestation land still being acquired (Drishti IAS, June 2025), and the Satna–Panna line has had a trial run but no opening date (Aaj Tak, Hindi report, March 2026). Parcels near either can be affected by forest, reserve or acquisition conditions.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & registration offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go to the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil; the CGWB 2013 profile counted 8 tehsils (CGWB, 2013) and the current list should be read on the district portal (district portal), which does not list tehsils on its home page. The Sub-Divisional Officer handles the premium and reassessment on diversion. The District Collector's office handles land acquisition notices, mining leases and the seller's tribal-land status, and the Forest Department states whether a survey number lies in the tiger reserve core or buffer.
Sale deeds are registered by the Sub-Registrar, now also through Sampada 2.0, where guideline rates can be checked (The Statesman, October 2024). Khasra and B-1 extracts come from MP Bhulekh, which we could not open; ask each office in writing, since we did not confirm current contacts or fees.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Panna.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
Can anyone buy agricultural land in Panna?
None of the court orders or Act texts we opened bars a buyer for not being a farmer. The limits that appear are the holding ceiling under the 1960 Ceiling Act (Supreme Court, January 2021), Collector-level permission for land held by tribal members under section 165(6) (Supreme Court, April 2025) and the FEMA bar on NRIs and OCIs (RBI Master Direction). The 2013 CGWB profile does not mention tribal blocks for Panna, but the seller's category still matters.
02 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Panna?
We found no guideline-rate report or dated price series for Panna. Farmland India's estimate is about ₹2–8 lakh per acre for interior farm land and about ₹10–35 lakh per acre at the town edge and on highway frontage*, with tiger-reserve buffer and forest-edge land lower.* Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline rate with the Sub-Registrar.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Panna?
Dainik Jagran English reported in March 2026 stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3% on the higher of market or transaction value, about 10.5% together, and an earlier piece gave 9.5% to 12.5%. We could not open the Registration Department's page, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the current schedule. A short-stamped document attracts a 1% a month penalty on the shortfall since 17 December 2025.
04 of 04
How does the Panna Tiger Reserve affect buying land?
The NTCA brief note gives a core of about 576.13 sq km and a buffer of about 1,002.42 sq km declared in 2012 across Panna, Chhatarpur and Damoh, with 49 buffer villages. We found no eco-sensitive-zone notification, so ask the Forest Department whether a survey number lies in the core, buffer or forest land. Separately, a 74 km Satna–Panna rail line had a trial run in March 2026 (Aaj Tak, Hindi report) and the Ken-Betwa dam road is being built in the reserve core (Drishti IAS, June 2025).

Data-currency note: the Land Revenue Code, Registration Department, MP Bhulekh and some district portals could not be opened (automated fetches were refused), so legal points come from court orders, legal-database copies and press reports; ground-water, crop and land-use figures come from the 2013 profile of the district. News items are labelled with their month and year and change quickly. Estimated land prices are Farmland India estimates, not sourced figures. Guideline rates, stamp duty and infrastructure timelines are reported, not confirmed. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Report inaccuracies to wiki@farmlandindia.com.
