Jalna — land purchase legal rules
⚠ Maharashtra reserves agricultural land for agriculturists. Section 63 of the Tenancy Act voids a sale to anyone else unless an exception or a Collector’s permission applies, and in July 2026 the Revenue Minister repeated that only recognised farmers may buy. Several other statutes then decide whether a parcel can be split, converted or built on. Read the 7/12 before you read the price.
Who may buy agricultural land: Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act makes a sale, gift, exchange or lease of agricultural land invalid in favour of a person who is not an agriculturist. It also bites where an agriculturist buyer would end up holding more than two-thirds of the ceiling area (Indian Kanoon text of section 63). The Collector, or an officer the State authorises, can permit a transaction on conditions, but not where the buyer would farm the land and has other income of Rs 12,000 a year or more, according to the same text. In Gundaji Satwaji Shinde v. Ramchandra Bhikaji Joshi (Supreme Court, December 1978) the Court held that whether a buyer is an agriculturist is for the Mamlatdar, not the civil court (Manupat case guide). On 8 July 2026 the Revenue Minister told the Assembly that only recognised farmers may buy agricultural land and that buyers must show proof of farmer status; IANS named no new statute (IANS, July 2026).
Where the bar does not apply: Maharashtra Act I of 2016 inserted sub-section (1C), which switches off the bar for land inside a Municipal Corporation, subject to conditions: non-agricultural use within a fixed time, with the Collector able to extend by up to five years (Acts of 2016 and 2018, PRS). Section 63-1A separately lets a buyer, farmer or not, take land for bona fide industrial use without prior Collector permission (Indian Kanoon text of section 63-1A). The Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Laws (Amendment) Act, 2026, effective 15 April 2026, narrows that route to occupancy class-I land, replaces the old non-agricultural assessment and nazarana with a one-time conversion premium under section 47 of the Land Revenue Code, and caps the penalty for late notice at five times that premium (JSA, June 2026). JSA describes no change to the general bar in section 63(1).
Tenant-purchased land and wills: Land a tenant bought under the Act cannot be sold, gifted, mortgaged or leased without the Collector’s prior sanction. After ten years the sanction falls away if the seller pays nazarana of forty times the assessment, the buyer is an agriculturist and the buyer stays within the ceiling (Indian Kanoon text of section 43). The 2026 amendment deletes the nazarana (JSA, June 2026). A will does not get round the bar: in Vinodchandra Sakarlal Kapadia v. State of Gujarat (15 June 2020) the Supreme Court read “assignment” in section 43 to include a bequest to a non-agriculturist (LiveLaw, June 2020; Supreme Court judgment). That appeal came from Gujarat, which applies the same 1948 statute, and the Court disapproved an earlier ruling under the separate Vidarbha Act. Marathwada and Vidarbha run on parallel Acts that the 2026 amendment also touches.
Fragmentation and minimum plot size: The Maharashtra Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947 restricts sales of land below a notified standard area. A notification of 8 August 2023 set it, outside municipal corporation and council limits, at about a quarter acre for bagayat (irrigated) land and half an acre for jirayat (dry-crop) land, which is roughly 10 and 20 gunthas on our arithmetic of 40 gunthas to the acre (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas via Conventus Law). The 2024 amendment moved the regularisation window to 15 October 2024 at a premium of up to 5%. A further Act notified on 31 December 2025, deemed in force from 3 November 2025, deletes the proviso to section 8B and adds section 9(4): past transfers and partitions from 15 November 1965 to 15 October 2024 are regularised without premium where the land is used for bona fide non-agricultural purposes inside listed urban, planning-authority, cantonment and regional-plan zones (TeamLease RegTech; Bill text, PRS). The bill did not change the standard area or the general restrictions. In July 2025 the Revenue Minister said plots up to one guntha subdivided before 1 January 2025 would be treated as legal, and a committee was set up the following week (The Week, July 2025; The Week, July 2025). Plain farm land outside those zones is still bound by the standard area.
Non-agricultural conversion: The Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (Second Amendment) Act, 2025, notified on 31 December 2025, substituted section 42. The Collector’s permission is no longer needed to use agricultural land for a purpose that a draft or final Development Plan or Regional Plan allows; the planning authority’s development permission or building plan approval is enough, and sections 42A to 42D, 44 to 46 and the old assessment chapter were deleted (JSA, March 2026). The yearly non-agricultural assessment gives way to a one-time premium under section 47 on the Ready Reckoner value: 0.1% up to 1,000 sq m, 0.25% from 1,000 to 4,000 sq m and 0.5% above 4,000 sq m. A government resolution of 10 February 2026 implements the change (Khaitan & Co, February 2026). Neither note says the reform alters section 63, so our reading is that a non-farmer still cannot buy agricultural land first and convert it afterwards.
Ceiling on holdings: The Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 caps what one family unit may hold, from 18 acres of assured-irrigation land to 54 acres of other dry-crop land in a 2011 summary (Bombay Chartered Accountant Journal, April 2011). Section 63 uses two-thirds of that ceiling as the test for a buyer who is already a farmer.
Tribal land: Where the seller belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, the sale also falls under the Land Revenue Code and the Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974 (section 63-1A text). Ask for the seller’s status in writing.
Land records: Digitally signed 7/12 (record of rights), 8A (khata) and ferfar (mutation) extracts now carry legal validity under rules made under the Maharashtra Land Measurement and Record Keeping Act, 2025, with a QR code and a 16-digit verification number, no Talathi stamp and a fee of Rs 15 each (Free Press Journal, December 2025). About 2.57 crore signed 7/12 records existed by June 2024, and e-Mojani 2.0 handles measurement (Elets, February 2025). Read the occupancy class, the holder’s name and the land-use entry before paying a token.
NRI and OCI buyers: The Reserve Bank’s Master Direction lets NRIs and OCIs buy immovable assets in India but excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farmhouse, and its inheritance paragraphs carry no such exclusion (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). A farmhouse plot is therefore out of reach by purchase, wherever it sits in Maharashtra. Anyone relying on a later circular should read it directly. We did not open the 2023 standard-area notification, the text of section 63A or the current ceiling schedule, so have an advocate check all three against the survey number.
- Section 63 farmer-only bar

Jalna — district-specific notes
The Maharashtra state page applies to Jalna in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated from the state page. Law was read from Acts, court reports and law-firm notes; the Mahabhumi portal and the Registration and Stamps rate schedule could not be opened, and the notes say so where it matters.
⚠ The state page sets out section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948: a sale of agricultural land to a person who is not an agriculturist is invalid unless an exception or the Collector’s permission applies (Indian Kanoon text). That page reads Marathwada as governed by the Hyderabad Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1950 and flags the mapping for confirmation, and Jalna is a Marathwada district, so have an advocate confirm which Act and section apply to the survey number. The Revenue Minister said on 8 July 2026 that only recognised farmers may buy and must show proof of farmer status; no new statute was named (IANS, July 2026).
⚠ Small plots are a trap. A notification of 8 August 2023 set the standard area outside municipal corporation and council limits at about a quarter acre for irrigated (bagayat) land and half an acre for dry-crop (jirayat) land, roughly 10 and 20 gunthas at 40 gunthas to the acre (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas via Conventus Law). The Act deemed in force from 3 November 2025 regularises past transfers only in listed urban and planning zones (TeamLease RegTech). We did not open the 2023 notification, so confirm it before buying anything below an acre.
⚠ On conversion, JSA reports that the Land Revenue Code amendment notified on 31 December 2025 makes planning-authority permission sufficient where a plan allows the use and replaces yearly assessment with a one-time premium of 0.1%, 0.25% or 0.5% of the Ready Reckoner value by plot size (JSA, March 2026; Khaitan and Co, February 2026). This rests on law-firm notes, so read it against the Gazette; neither note says the change alters section 63.
⚠ Several projects can reach Jalna land by acquisition. The Jalna–Nanded Expressway is a 179.85 km project in six packages with a reported ₹14,500 crore cost (The Metro Rail Guy), and in August 2025 officials were reported to be weighing the Samruddhi compensation package against the highest purchase-deed rate of the previous three years with 10% yearly escalation, with no decision reported (Swarajya, August 2025). The Jalna–Jalgaon line needs 935 hectares in all (Swarajya, August 2024). Ask the Collector’s office whether a survey number is on an alignment before paying a deposit.
⚠ The Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 limits a family unit’s holding, from 18 acres of assured-irrigation land to 54 acres of other dry-crop land in a 2011 summary (Bombay Chartered Accountant Journal, April 2011). We could not confirm the current schedule, so check it before assembling a large holding.
⚠ Where the seller belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, the Land Revenue Code and the Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974 also apply (section 63-1A text). We found no source listing Scheduled Areas or notified tribal villages for Jalna, so ask for the seller’s status in writing. The CGWB booklet gives the district’s forest area as 101.18 sq km (CGWB Jalna booklet). Jalna is inland, so coastal regulation rules do not apply, and we found no tiger-reserve buffer, eco-sensitive-zone or mining-lease notification for the district in the sources opened. Ask the Forest Department and the Collector for a written status on any parcel near a forest block, hill or river bank.

District overview
Jalna — a black-soil cotton district on the Samruddhi corridor
Jalna district is shown as 7,612 sq km with 19,58,483 people in the 2011 Census on the district portal, which gives a density of 254 per sq km (Jalna district portal). The CGWB booklet lists eight talukas, puts the Godavari on the southern boundary and names the Purna, Dudhna, Kundalika and Girija as other rivers; average rainfall is 725.8 mm, about 83% of it from June to September (CGWB Jalna booklet).
Black cotton soil dominates. The booklet’s 2010-11 table puts cotton on about 2,893 sq km, pulses on 1,524 and jowar on 1,090 sq km, and net irrigated area was 213,479 hectares in 2006-07. Groundwater development is 47.51% and classed safe, with taluka figures from 30.86% in Ghansawangi to 70.39% in Badnapur and no taluka over-exploited, though the data are old (CGWB Jalna booklet).
The main story is logistics. Jalna is one of the ten Samruddhi districts (The Week, June 2025), the dry port received customs port status in May 2025 (The Week, May 2025), and a Jalna–Nanded Expressway and a Jalna–Jalgaon rail line are in the pipeline. We found no registered-deed series. The bands on this page, from about ₹6 lakh to ₹70 lakh per acre*, are wide and indicative.

The state page gives 5% stamp duty plus a 1% levy in municipal areas and 4% in gram panchayat areas, with a further 1% in notified areas from 8 February 2019, and a registration fee of 1% capped at ₹30,000, all from an Act reproduction amended to May 2019 (Maharashtra Stamp Act text); we did not open the current schedule on the Registration and Stamps portal (IGR), and a 27 May 2026 report of an exemption on land purchases gave no scope (Nation Press, May 2026). Duty is charged on market value, which is the Ready Reckoner value or the deed value, and the Ready Reckoner was held at 2025-26 levels for 2026-27 (IANS, April 2026). We found no Jalna rate table, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the rate on the deed date.

Jalna city, dry port and Samruddhi belt
Estimated land price*: ₹20–70 lakh per acre
The Jalna Dry Port covers 185 hectares and received customs port status in May 2025, with a ₹327 crore first-phase logistics park planned (The Week, May 2025), and the Samruddhi Mahamarg runs through the district (The Week, June 2025). The band is wide and rounded and is not a deal price.
Check: distance from the town, dry port and expressway access, and whether the survey number is inside a planning area.
Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Badnapur and Ambad
Estimated land price*: ₹8–30 lakh per acre
These are black-soil cotton and pulse talukas, with Badnapur showing the highest groundwater development in the booklet at 70.39% (CGWB Jalna booklet). We found no dated rate or award, so the band is a wide, indicative range.
Check: borewell yield, the irrigation entry on the 7/12 and the access road.
Partur, Mantha and Ghansawangi
Estimated land price*: ₹6–20 lakh per acre
Ghansawangi shows the lowest groundwater development, 30.86%, in the booklet (CGWB Jalna booklet). We found no dated rate, so the band is a wide, indicative range.
Check: water source, soil depth and whether the plot meets the standard area.
Jalna–Nanded Expressway
No district figure found
The 179.85 km road connects to Samruddhi and has six packages (The Metro Rail Guy). The compensation basis was still under discussion in August 2025 (Swarajya, August 2025).
Check: whether the village is on the final alignment before paying for expectation.
Ready Reckoner 2025-26 and 2026-27
Rural rise 3.36% (reported); held for 2026-27
The state rural average rose 3.36% for 2025-26 and rates were held for 2026-27 (IANS, April 2026; The Hitavada, April 2026). No Jalna-specific figure was found.
Check: the rate in force for the village on the deed date.
Units: acres, hectares and gunthas
One guntha is about 1,089 sq ft, so an acre of 43,560 sq ft holds 40 gunthas (The Week, July 2025; the 40 is our arithmetic). A hectare is about 2.47 acres. Sellers also quote local units that vary by tehsil and village, so convert every offer to gunthas, acres or hectares and read the area in the 7/12 extract before comparing two offers.

Soil, crops & water in Jalna
A black-soil cotton and pulse district on the Godavari, with average rainfall of 725.8 mm and groundwater development of 47.51% on the old booklet.
🌾 Soil and crops
The CGWB booklet describes black cotton soil, with deep black soils in the low-lying plains and river banks and lighter soils elsewhere. Its 2010-11 table shows cotton on about 2,893 sq km, pulses 1,524, jowar 1,090 and cereals 2,449 sq km (CGWB Jalna booklet).

💧 Irrigation
Net irrigated area was 213,479 hectares in 2006-07 (CGWB Jalna booklet). The booklet’s data are old, so read the irrigation source on the 7/12 and ask for borewell records rather than relying on a district figure.

🌊 Rivers and forest
The Godavari forms the southern boundary, and the Purna, Dudhna, Kundalika and Girija drain the district; forest covers about 101 sq km (CGWB Jalna booklet). Forest and river-bank parcels need a written status from the Forest Department and the Collector.

💧 Rainfall & groundwater
Average annual rainfall is 725.8 mm, in a range of 643 to 825 mm. The booklet gives the stage of groundwater development as 47.51%, safe, from 30.86% in Ghansawangi to 70.39% in Badnapur, with no over-exploited or semi-critical taluka, but it is an old document. The CGWB December 2024 state assessment puts Maharashtra at 52.99% (CGWB, December 2024), and we did not find the Jalna unit figures. Marathwada sits in a rain shadow and often faces drought-like conditions (Maharashtra SDMA).
📐 Measurement units
Records and listings use gunthas and acres; 40 gunthas make an acre (our arithmetic from 1 guntha ≈ 1,089 sq ft). Live wholesale mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page); price a parcel on location, water and permitted use, not on crop income.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Jalna
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and several projects are still pending.
A fully open expressway
The Samruddhi Mahamarg opened fully on 5 June 2025 and lists Jalna among its districts (The Week, June 2025). It is delivered, which most other items here are not.
A dry port with customs status
The Jalna Dry Port received customs port status in May 2025, with a ₹327 crore logistics park planned (The Week, May 2025). No opening date for the park was reported.
Two projects still in acquisition or approval
The Jalna–Nanded Expressway is acquiring land and the Jalna–Jalgaon line is approved but not built (Swarajya, August 2024). Price on what runs today.
Safe groundwater on an old profile
All talukas were classed safe at 47.51% development (CGWB Jalna booklet), but the data are old and Badnapur stood at 70.39%.
A paperwork-led market
Tenancy-Act eligibility, standard-area rules, conversion and corridor status are parcel-specific. The return case rests on location, water and permitted use.
Confirm land-use, tenancy and ready-reckoner status directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Jalna
Read these before shortlisting in Jalna specifically.
Which tenancy Act applies
The state page reads Marathwada as under the Hyderabad Act of 1950 and flags that for confirmation, while section 63 of the 1948 Act is the text it sets out (Indian Kanoon text). Get a Maharashtra advocate to confirm eligibility for the survey number.
Acquisition and compensation
The expressway compensation basis was still under discussion in August 2025 (Swarajya, August 2025), and the rail line needs 935 hectares. Check whether a survey number is on either alignment.
Small plots
The standard area is about 10 gunthas of irrigated or 20 gunthas of dry-crop land outside town limits (Conventus Law). Plots below it can be hard to register and hard to resell.
Uneven groundwater
Taluka development ranges from 30.86% to 70.39% on the old booklet (CGWB Jalna booklet). A good borewell on one plot does not mean the next one has water.
Stamp duty uncertainty
The rates shown come from an Act reproduction amended to May 2019, and a May 2026 exemption report gave no scope (Nation Press, May 2026). Ask for the current schedule.
Data conflicts and no deed series
Area differs between the district portal and the booklet, cost figures differ by outlet, and the bands on this page are indicative estimates*, not deal prices. Collect registered comparables in the same village before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant taluka (the CGWB booklet lists eight talukas), under the District Collector, Jalna, with village records kept by the Talathi. Sale-deed registration is handled by the local Sub-Registrar, and forest status goes to the Forest Department’s divisional office. Land records are on the Mahabhumi portal. The Jalna district portal home page opened but gave no office list, and we could not open the Mahabhumi portal or the Registration and Stamps rate pages, so check them directly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Jalna.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does farm land cost in Jalna?
Our estimate is about ₹6 lakh to ₹70 lakh per acre*, depending on the belt: roughly ₹20–70 lakh near Jalna city, the dry port and the Samruddhi corridor, ₹8–30 lakh in Bhokardan, Jafrabad, Badnapur and Ambad, and ₹6–20 lakh in Partur, Mantha and Ghansawangi. These are wide, rounded, indicative estimates, not a valuation or an offer. Prices vary by plot, road access and title, so check the Ready Reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar.
02 of 04
Can a non-farmer buy agricultural land in Jalna?
Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 makes a sale to a non-agriculturist invalid unless an exception or the Collector’s permission applies, and the Revenue Minister repeated in July 2026 that only recognised farmers may buy (IANS, July 2026). The state page reads Marathwada as under the Hyderabad Act of 1950, so have an advocate confirm which Act and section govern the survey number before paying a token.
03 of 04
What is the status of the Jalna dry port?
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs notified customs port status for the 185-hectare Jalna Dry Port, reported on 29 May 2025, and a ₹327 crore first-phase logistics park is planned; no opening date was reported (The Week, May 2025).
04 of 04
Which projects could acquire Jalna land?
The 179.85 km Jalna–Nanded Expressway is in acquisition, and in August 2025 officials were reported to be weighing the Samruddhi compensation package against the highest purchase-deed rate of three years (Swarajya, August 2025). The 174 km Jalna–Jalgaon rail line, approved on 8 August 2024, needs 935 hectares (Swarajya, August 2024). Ask the Collector’s office whether a survey number is on an alignment.

Data-currency note: sources were read in October 2026. District figures come from CGWB booklets whose data are old (population 2001 or 2011, crops 2010-11, groundwater 2008-09) and district portals that did not give full profiles; some portals refused automated access. Stamp duty rests on an Act reproduction amended to May 2019, and Ready Reckoner items are state-level reports. Infrastructure statuses change quickly and items marked reported rest on one outlet. Estimated land prices are indicative and are not taken from any registered deed. General information, not legal advice. Report inaccuracies to wiki@farmlandindia.com.
