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

Rajgarh — district-specific notes
The Madhya Pradesh state page applies to Rajgarh in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated in full from the state page. Law was read from Supreme Court and High Court judgments; India Code and the MP Bhulekh portal could not be opened, so section texts are described through those judgments.
⚠ Tribal land: 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) of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959; Supreme Court, April 2025). Under section 170B a transfer made by fraud can be reverted to the tribal owner or heirs (Supreme Court, March 2019). We found no source listing notified tehsils in Rajgarh, so ask the Tehsildar whether the recorded owner of a khasra belongs to a tribe covered by the Code before paying a deposit.
⚠ Diversion: 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; read a seller’s diversion order in full.
⚠ Ceiling: the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 caps what one holder or family may hold. The Supreme Court quoted section 7(b) in 2021 as allowing a family of five or fewer 54 acres (Supreme Court, January 2021); a legal-database copy lists 18 acres of two-crop irrigated land, 27 acres of one-crop irrigated land and 54 acres of dry land for such a family, and bars transfer 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). Most irrigation here is from open wells and bore wells (ICAR-CRIDA Rajgarh plan), so check whether a parcel is recorded as irrigated before applying a ceiling tier. Have a lawyer check the current schedule before buying a large holding.
⚠ Irrigation projects: the Mohanpura dam on the Nevaj and the Kundalia dam on the Kalisindh have command areas across Rajgarh blocks (Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam; Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam). Land for canals, distributaries and submergence may be under acquisition or recorded in the project’s favour; ask the Tehsildar whether a parcel in a command-area village carries any such entry. We found no tiger-reserve buffer, eco-sensitive zone, CRZ or mining-lease notice for Rajgarh in the sources read, so ask the Forest Department and the Collector’s office in writing.
⚠ NRI and OCI buyers: the Reserve Bank’s Master Direction excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farm house from what NRIs and OCIs may buy (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). We found no general bar on a buyer who is not a farmer in the court orders and Act texts opened for the state page; confirm with the Registration Department and the Collector’s office.

District overview
Rajgarh — a canal-irrigation district on the Malwa plateau east of Ujjain
Rajgarh is a Malwa plateau district of 6,154 sq km with 15,45,814 people at Census 2011 on the district portal, about 145 km from Bhopal. The portal lists six blocks, Sarangpur, Narsinghgarh, Jeerapur, Khilchipur, Rajgarh and Biaora, names Biaora as a tehsil established in May 1948, and places the district between Shajapur, Sehore, Bhopal and Guna with Jhalawar in Rajasthan to the north (Rajgarh district portal). The Kalisindh, Parvati and Newaj flow through it, and the portal records a 25 MW solar plant south of Rajgarh city. We did not find a current official tehsil list; ask the Collector’s office.
Irrigation is the main story. The Kundalia dam on the Kalisindh was completed in December 2018, with a micro-irrigation scheme proposed for 419 villages and 130,639 hectares at an approved cost of ₹3,448 crore (Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam). The Mohanpura project on the Nevaj, launched in June 2018, was reported to irrigate about 1.25 lakh hectares at ₹3,866 crore (Daily Excelsior, June 2018), while the district portal gives about 135,000 hectares and ₹3,800 crore (Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam). Whether water reaches a given village is the question to ask before paying for irrigated land.
We found no dated official per-acre guideline rate and no dated price series for Rajgarh. The band on this page is an estimate marked with an asterisk: ₹5–18 lakh per acre for farm land, higher in the irrigated Biaora and Sarangpur belt than in the drier interior. It is derived by analogy with comparable Malwa districts and rounded, not taken from a sale record. *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.

Combined (reported arithmetic)
an earlier report gave a 9.5% to 12.5% range
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, and that the state had told the Vidhan Sabha no fresh taxes would be levied (Dainik Jagran English, March 2026 (Bhopal)). 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 before you budget. 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). No Rajgarh-specific schedule was found. Duty is assessed on the higher of the deal value and the guideline rate as reported; check the rate in force for the village on the date of the deed.

Estimated land price*
₹5–18 lakh per acre*
Our estimate for farm land across the district: roughly ₹7–18 lakh in the Biaora, Sarangpur and Rajgarh belt with irrigation and highway access, and ₹5–14 lakh in Narsinghgarh, Khilchipur and Jeerapur. The range is wide because the evidence is thin. *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.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same revenue village, and the guideline rate with the Sub-Registrar.
Irrigation projects
Kundalia and Mohanpura
The Kundalia dam was completed in December 2018; the portal says its micro-irrigation scheme was proposed for completion in April 2021 and does not confirm that date was met, and its per-block hectare figures do not add up to the stated total (Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam). The Mohanpura dam is 8 km from Rajgarh on the Nevaj (Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam), and a June 2018 report gave a cost of ₹3,866 crore (Daily Excelsior, June 2018). Villages inside a command area can be priced on promised water.
Check: whether canal or pipe water actually reaches the village.
Guideline rates: state context
No Rajgarh figure found
Reports on guideline rates covered Bhopal and Indore, not Rajgarh; the Bhopal committee in February 2026 recommended rises at 621 locations (Collector guideline rate hike at 621 locations in Bhopal district, Free Press Journal, February 2026). The portal places Bhopal on the district’s east and Sehore to the south-east, but no report links their rates to Rajgarh.
Check: the Sampada 2.0 guideline lookup for the village.
Asking prices
No sourced series
We use no listing figures for Rajgarh. A guideline rate is a registration floor, not what a seller will accept.
Check: comparable deals registered in the same village.
Units: hectares, acres and local terms
The district’s land records follow state practice of survey numbers and hectares, while the Ceiling Act figures quoted on this page are in acres and one hectare is about 2.47 acres (our arithmetic). Local trade terms differ by district and tehsil, so have the Patwari restate any quoted area in hectares or acres before you compare offers.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Rajgarh
A soybean, chickpea and wheat district on black soils, with canal projects promised and groundwater mostly in the semi-critical range.
🌾 Soybean, chickpea, wheat and maize
The ICAR-CRIDA plan lists soybean on 291,800 hectares, chickpea on 78,900, wheat on 50,100, maize on 43,900 and sorghum on 34,270 (area years not stated), with a net sown area of 423,050 hectares and a cropping intensity of 143.65% (ICAR-CRIDA Rajgarh plan). The CGWB profile says about three-fourths of the district is black cotton soil weathered from basalt, with yellowish-red soils from sandstone and shale and alluvium along rivers (CGWB district profile, Rajgarh (2013)).
- Soybean
- Chickpea
- Wheat
- Maize
- Sorghum
🌊 Rivers and dams
The Kalisindh, Parvati and Newaj drain the district into the Chambal sub-basin (CGWB district profile, Rajgarh (2013)); the portal adds the Gadganga at Khilchipur and the Dudhi and Ajnar around Biaora (Rajgarh district portal). The Kushalpura dam on the Dudhi supplies drinking water, and the Kundalia and Mohanpura projects are meant for irrigation (Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam; Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam).
- Kalisindh
- Parvati
- Newaj
- Dudhi
🧭 Tribal and notified areas
We found no source listing notified tribal tehsils in Rajgarh. Section 165(6) permission applies to any parcel recorded to a covered tribal owner, as the April 2025 Supreme Court judgment shows (Supreme Court, April 2025). Check the recorded owner category on the khasra.
- Section 165(6)
- Khasra check
💧 Water & rainfall
Normal annual rainfall is 985.8 mm in the CGWB profile and 838.0 mm in the ICAR-CRIDA plan; the two do not agree, so we give both, and we did not open an IMD page. The plan records 86,281 open wells irrigating 129,500 hectares and 11,002 bore wells irrigating 36,236 hectares against 5,775 hectares by canal, a net irrigated area of 178,800 hectares (ICAR-CRIDA Rajgarh plan). The CGWB profile, using 2009 data, puts the stage of groundwater development at 82% with no over-exploited block: Biaora, Khilchipur, Narsinghgarh and Sarangpur are semi-critical, Narsinghgarh highest at 98%, and Rajgarh and Zeerapur are safe (CGWB district profile, Rajgarh (2013)). The CGWB 2024 assessment has no district rows in the document we read; the state stands at 58.40% (Safe) and Rajgarh is listed among districts with nitrate above 45 mg/L at sporadic locations (CGWB, GWRA-2024). Check block status and borewell yield.
📐 Measurement units
Records use survey numbers and hectares; one hectare is about 2.47 acres (our arithmetic). Local trade terms differ by district and tehsil, so convert every quote to acres or hectares before comparing. Live mandi prices are on the Agmarknet portal (not opened for this page); price land on location and permitted use, not on crop income.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Rajgarh
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that price evidence is an estimate and irrigation delivery is unconfirmed.
Two large irrigation projects
Kundalia (₹3,448 crore, 130,639 hectares proposed) and Mohanpura (about 135,000 hectares) are both sited in the district (Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam; Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam). If canal water arrives, irrigated yield and land use change; if not, land priced on the promise is exposed.
Black-soil cropping at scale
Net sown area of 423,050 hectares and soybean on 291,800 hectares in the ICAR-CRIDA plan describe a working farm district (ICAR-CRIDA Rajgarh plan). Crop income is modest next to land values, so price on location.
Proximity to Bhopal
The portal puts Bhopal about 145 km from the district headquarters, and the district shares a boundary with Bhopal and Sehore (Rajgarh district portal). No highway project specific to Rajgarh was found.
Higher compensation for acquired farm land
The April 2026 Cabinet decision raised the multiplier for rural agricultural land (ANI, April 2026). It signals that canal, dam and power projects will pay more for farmland; it does not change what a private buyer pays.
A market that rewards paperwork
Tribal-owner checks, diversion orders, the ceiling schedule and command-area entries are all parcel-specific. A buyer who documents each is better placed than one relying on a broker summary.
Confirm tribal-land status, diversion and ceiling points directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Rajgarh
Read these before shortlisting in Rajgarh specifically.
Tribal-land permission
A parcel recorded to a covered tribal owner needs Collector-level permission for sale, and a fraudulent transfer can be reverted under section 170B (Supreme Court, April 2025; Supreme Court, March 2019).
Irrigation promised, not proven
Kundalia’s micro-irrigation completion date was April 2021 and is not confirmed, and the Mohanpura figures differ between the portal and a 2018 report (Rajgarh district portal, Kundalia dam; Rajgarh district portal, Mohanpura dam; Daily Excelsior, June 2018). Ask the Water Resources Department for the village’s command-area status.
Groundwater in the semi-critical range
Four of six blocks were semi-critical on 2009 data and the CRIDA plan gives 78% district-wide (CGWB district profile, Rajgarh (2013); ICAR-CRIDA Rajgarh plan). Test borewell yield and quality.
Diversion and ceiling
A parcel sold as non-agricultural needs the diversion order read in full, and a large holding needs the ceiling schedule checked (High Court, June 2022; Supreme Court, January 2021).
No corridor project sourced
We found no highway or rail project specific to Rajgarh in the sources read, so appreciation arguments rest on Bhopal proximity and irrigation.
Estimated price band
The ₹5–18 lakh per acre band is our estimate, not a sale record or an official rate. Collect registered comparables before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil (the portal names Biaora, Sarangpur and Narsinghgarh as tehsils; the 2013 CGWB profile lists six) and the District Collector’s office, listed on the Rajgarh district portal. Diversion and tribal-land permissions sit with the Collector or the Sub-Divisional Officer, as the judgments cited above describe. Sale deeds are registered through the Sub-Registrar, with guideline rates on Sampada 2.0 (The Statesman, October 2024). Command-area and canal questions go to the Water Resources Department, and forest questions to the Forest Department; we found no web page for either that we could open, so name the office in writing. Land records are on MP Bhulekh; we could not open that portal, so ask the seller for a fresh extract.

Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Rajgarh.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Rajgarh?
We found no official per-acre rate or dated price series for Rajgarh. Our estimate for farm land is about ₹5–18 lakh per acre*, higher in the irrigated Biaora, Sarangpur and Rajgarh belt and lower in Narsinghgarh, Khilchipur and Jeerapur. *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.
02 of 04
Does tribal-land law apply in Rajgarh?
Section 165(6) of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code applies to any parcel recorded to a covered tribal owner: sale outside a notified area needs written permission from an officer of Collector rank (Supreme Court, April 2025). We found no source listing notified tehsils in Rajgarh, so check the recorded owner category on the khasra.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Rajgarh?
Dainik Jagran English reported in March 2026 stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration fee of 3% on the higher of market or deal value. The Registration Department page was not opened, so confirm the schedule for agricultural land with the Sub-Registrar.
04 of 04
Which projects affect Rajgarh?
The Kundalia dam was completed in December 2018 with a micro-irrigation scheme proposed for 130,639 hectares, and the Mohanpura project was launched in June 2018. The district portal does not confirm how much canal water now reaches villages.

Data-currency note: population and area come from the district portal and the 2013 CGWB profile (Census 2011); crop data come from an undated ICAR-CRIDA plan and groundwater data from 2009 assessments; the CGWB 2024 assessment gave no district rows in the text we read; project statuses were read in October 2026; price bands are estimates marked with an asterisk. Pages marked not opened are named only as places to check. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Report inaccuracies to wiki@farmlandindia.com.
