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

Rewa — 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 Rewa 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, MP Bhulekh and the district portal could not be opened (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.
⚠ District was reorganised: Mauganj district was formed from Rewa in August 2023 by taking the Mauganj, Hanumana and Naigarhi tehsils (Free Press Journal, August 2023). The CGWB 2013 profile and the industrial profile describe the undivided district, and a village in those three tehsils now falls under Mauganj's Collector and Sub-Registrar. Confirm the parent district and tehsil of any village before using an older figure.
⚠ Forest share: an undated industrial profile, giving 2010-11 land use for the undivided district, shows 307,241 ha of forest out of 610,632 ha reported, about half (our arithmetic; Rewa district industrial profile). Ask the Tehsildar and the Divisional Forest Officer whether a survey number is recorded as forest or revenue-forest land before paying an advance. We found no tiger-reserve or eco-sensitive-zone notification for Rewa in the sources opened.
⚠ Ceiling and tribal land: a legal-database copy of the 1960 Ceiling Act gives 18, 27 and 54 acres for a family of five or fewer on two-crop irrigated, one-crop irrigated and dry land (Ceiling Act text); the Supreme Court quoted the 54-acre limit in 2021 (Supreme Court, January 2021). Tribal-land permission under section 165(6) of the Land Revenue Code applies where the seller holds land as a member of a tribe the Code treats as aboriginal (Supreme Court, April 2025), and section 170B lets the Collector reverse a transfer found to be fraudulent (Supreme Court, March 2019). A Will in favour of a non-tribal needs the same permission (High Court, February 2025). We did not find a notified-area list for Rewa, so ask the Tehsildar whether the seller's land is held as tribal land.
⚠ 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
Rewa — a Vindhya district with an airport, a tunnel and a solar park
Rewa is the headquarters district of the Rewa division in the Vindhya region. The CGWB 2013 profile describes mainly Vindhyan formations, with alluvium in the river valleys, and 1,141.5 mm of normal annual rain (CGWB, 2013). Mauganj was separated as a district in August 2023, taking three tehsils, so the profile's 6,287 sq km and 23.6 lakh people (Census 2011) cover more ground than Rewa does today (Free Press Journal, August 2023).
The entry rules match the rest of the state. None of the court orders or Act texts opened bars a buyer for not being a farmer, the 1960 ceiling is the main limit on size, and NRIs and OCIs are barred under FEMA. The district-specific questions are forest classification, the new district boundary and the access road, because about half the area of the undivided district is recorded as forest (Rewa district industrial profile).
Public works are the main story. A twin-tube tunnel and 13 km bypass on the Rewa–Sidhi road opened in December 2022 (India Blooms, December 2022), Rewa Airport was opened virtually on 21 October 2024 (The Pioneer, October 2024) and a 750 MW solar park runs in Gurh tehsil (India Infra Hub, September 2023). A Bhopal–Singrauli Vindhya Expressway was announced, but we found no later status (Outlook India, February 2023).
We found no study linking these projects to farm land prices here, and no guideline-rate report for Rewa, so a broker's claim that a project will lift values is unproven. The bands on this page are estimates and are marked with an asterisk. See also Satna.

Transaction costs
Stamp duty & registration in Rewa
7.5%
Stamp duty (reported)

Registration fee (reported)
same base
~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 Rewa-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 Rewa.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Rewa
Five signals from reports and official profiles. No guideline-rate report for Rewa and no asking-price series was found; the estimated bands on this page are marked *.
District boundary change
Mauganj separated, Aug 2023
Mauganj, Hanumana and Naigarhi tehsils left Rewa and nine tehsils remained (Free Press Journal, August 2023). Any older price quote, rate list or statistic may describe the undivided district.
Check: which district and tehsil the village sits in today.
Airport and routes
Opened Oct 2024; routes in flux
Rewa–Delhi was running with load factors of about 80–85%, Rewa–Indore was due from 22 December 2025, and Rewa–Bhopal was suspended in October 2025 with a January 2026 restart planned (The Hitavada, December 2025). A Bhopal–Rewa service was among routes flagged off in August 2026 (The Hitavada, August 2026).
Check: the current timetable, not the announced one.
Tunnel, bypass and NH works
204 km of NH projects, Rs 2,444 crore
The December 2022 inauguration covered seven National Highway projects of 204 km, the Churhat tunnel and a 13 km bypass; a 19 km two-lane bypass section was to be widened to four lanes (India Blooms, December 2022). The Satna–Bela four-lane and Devtalab–Naigarhi road were still in progress in September 2023 (India Infra Hub, September 2023).
Check: whether the survey number lies inside a road alignment.
Solar park land
750 MW on about 1,500 ha, Gurh tehsil
The solar park began generating in 2018, reached full capacity in 2020 and was dedicated on 10 July 2020 (India Infra Hub, September 2023). It shows that large, contiguous blocks have been assembled in Gurh, but we found no price evidence from it.
Check: who holds adjoining land and whether any transmission corridor crosses it.
Delayed road works
Land acquisition cited, June 2026
A state review reported in June 2026 that Public Works Department road projects in Rewa were delayed by land acquisition (Free Press Journal, June 2026). Compensation disputes can leave a road unfinished beside a parcel for years.
Check: the status of acquisition on the road that serves the parcel.
Units: hectare, acre, sq m
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, so convert every quote to hectares before comparing.
Connectivity
How Rewa connects — road, rail and air
Sidhi, Satna and Mauganj are the main road links. Distances and times come from press reports and change as projects open.
By road
By air
By rail
The practical question is the last leg: where a parcel meets a road that is open in the monsoon and outside any alignment. A state review reported in June 2026 that land acquisition was delaying Public Works Department road projects in Rewa (Free Press Journal, June 2026), so ask which road works are still pending near a parcel. The state rules apply to every purchase.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Rewa
Vindhyan plateau of paddy, pulses, wheat and soybean, with about half the area recorded as forest. Classification and water matter as much as soil.
🌾 Vindhyan soils and crops
The CGWB 2013 profile for the undivided district gives 1,141.5 mm of normal annual rainfall, 89.2% of it in the south-west monsoon, and lists paddy, pulses, gram, wheat and soybean as principal crops. The rock is mainly Vindhyan sandstone, shale and limestone, with alluvium along the rivers (CGWB, 2013). The profile pre-dates the 2023 split, so treat it as an old, wider-district picture. Village soil data is on the Soil Health Card portal.

- Pulses
- Gram
- Wheat

🌲 Forest and revenue-forest land
Land use for 2010-11 in the district industrial profile shows 307,241 ha of forest out of 610,632 ha reported, about half (our arithmetic; Rewa district industrial profile). A parcel near a forest edge can have a boundary dispute, a classification question or restricted use, so get the forest status of the survey number in writing.

⛏ Minor minerals and cement units
The same profile records only minor minerals for 2010-11, led by about 7.6 million tonnes of lime, plus stone, flagstone and murum, and lists cement among its large units (Rewa district industrial profile). Quarry and lease land can sit beside farm land, so check for mining leases, blasting limits and haul roads near a parcel.
- Lime
- Stone
- Murum
- Lease land
💧 Water & groundwater
The CGWB 2013 profile put the district's stage of groundwater development at 52% (2009), with Gangav block the only semi-critical block at 82% and the other eight blocks safe. Irrigation came from tube wells (35,500 ha), dug wells (27,200 ha) and canals (12,400 ha), 96,600 ha in all (CGWB, 2013). The state-wide stage of extraction is 58.40% in the 2024 assessment, but Rewa's block categories were not in the pages opened (CGWB, GWRA-2024). Check borewell depth before assuming a water source for a farm house.
📐 Measurement units & market prices
Court orders use survey numbers and hectares, the Ceiling Act uses acres and guideline rates for colonies are per sq m, so convert before comparing. Mandi prices for the nearest regulated market are on Agmarknet. Crop income is small beside land values near the city and the airport, so price a parcel on access, forest status and title, not yield.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Rewa
Six reasoned points, with an honest note that forest classification, the new district boundary and the lack of price series are the main discounts.
A divisional hub with an airport
Rewa has an airport opened in October 2024 and flights to Delhi at about 80–85% load factors in late 2025. Routes have been reshuffled, so the benefit is real but not fixed.
Road links improved
The Churhat tunnel and bypass shortened the Rewa–Sidhi run to about 45 minutes, and seven NH projects are reported under way. Pending road works are held up by acquisition in places.
Large blocks have been assembled before
The 750 MW solar park in Gurh shows land in the district can be consolidated at scale. It is no proof of a price trend, and we found no price series.
An open buyer pool
No bar on buyers who are not farmers was found in the sources opened, so a buyer from Delhi or Mumbai meets the same rule as a local, subject to the ceiling, the tribal-land check and clean title.
Estimated entry prices below the metro belts
Our estimated bands, marked *, sit well below Bhopal and Indore fringes. Wide bands mean the real range for a given parcel can differ a lot, so use registered deeds nearby.
Clean paperwork is the edge
A buyer who reads the khasra and B-1, asks for the forest status and the diversion receipt, and confirms the post-2023 district and tehsil 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 Rewa
Read these before shortlisting in Rewa specifically.
Forest and revenue-forest classification
About half the undivided district is recorded as forest in an old profile (industrial profile). Get the forest status of the survey number in writing and compare the khasra with the deed.
District reorganisation
Mauganj was separated in August 2023 (Free Press Journal, August 2023). Older rate lists and statistics may describe the undivided district; confirm the village's current tehsil and registration office.
Air routes in flux
Rewa–Bhopal was suspended in October 2025 and restarted under a new operator (The Hitavada, December 2025). Do not price a parcel on a route that can be withdrawn.
Announced is not delivered
The Vindhya Expressway was announced in February 2023 with no cost or alignment in the report, and we found no later update (Outlook India, February 2023). Price a parcel on today's road.
Land acquisition delays
A June 2026 review cited land acquisition as a cause of delay for Public Works Department road projects in Rewa (Free Press Journal, June 2026). Check pending acquisition notices before buying beside a road project.
Diversion and premium
Change of use brings reassessment and a premium, and a landholder who does not inform the SDO can face a 50% penalty under the 2018 text of section 59 (Code Amendment Act 2018). Ask for the diversion order and the premium receipt.
Ceiling, tribal land and records
Holdings above the ceiling can be declared surplus (Supreme Court, January 2021), and a sale of tribal land without Collector permission is exposed (Supreme Court, April 2025). MP Bhulekh was not opened for this page, so compare a fresh khasra and B-1 with the deed.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & registration offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go to the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil; the August 2023 report lists Huzur, Huzurnagar, Jawa, Tyondhar, Raipur Karchulian, Gurh, Sirmour, Semaria and Manganwa (Free Press Journal, August 2023), and the full current list should be read on the Rewa district portal, which could not be opened. The Sub-Divisional Officer handles the premium and reassessment on diversion. The District Collector's office handles land acquisition notices, and the Divisional Forest Officer can state whether a survey number is forest land.
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 Rewa.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
Can anyone buy agricultural land in Rewa?
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). Rewa also lost three tehsils to Mauganj district in August 2023, so confirm the village's current tehsil with the Tehsildar.
02 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Rewa?
We found no guideline-rate report or dated price series for Rewa. Farmland India's estimate is about ₹8–25 lakh per acre for interior farm land and about ₹30–80 lakh per acre at the city edge and on highway frontage*, with forest-edge and rain-fed 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 Rewa?
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
Which infrastructure affects Rewa?
Rewa Airport was opened virtually on 21 October 2024, with Delhi flights at about 80–85% load factors in late 2025 and other routes changing (The Pioneer; The Hitavada). The Churhat tunnel and 13 km bypass opened in December 2022 (India Blooms). A 750 MW solar park runs in Gurh tehsil, and a Bhopal–Singrauli Vindhya Expressway was announced in 2023 with no later status found.

Data-currency note: the Land Revenue Code, Registration Department, MP Bhulekh and 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 2013-era profiles of the district before it was reorganised; 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.
