Parbhani — 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

Parbhani — district-specific notes
The Maharashtra state page applies to Parbhani 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 Parbhani 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.
⚠ Acquisition is live in Parbhani. Swarajya reported on 29 April 2026 that acquisition orders had been issued for Package 5 of the Nanded–Jalna Expressway in Parbhani, with physical possession still pending (Swarajya, April 2026), and the district portal carries an order dated 20 July 2026 barring anyone other than recorded landowners from entering village limits during the compulsory acquisition (Parbhani district portal). The portal page does not name villages. Ask the Collector’s office whether a survey number is on the alignment, and note that Parbhani is also on the Shaktipeeth Expressway list (Swarajya, June 2026).
⚠ 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 Parbhani, so ask for the seller’s status in writing. The CGWB booklet gives the district’s forest area as 278.08 sq km (CGWB Parbhani booklet). Parbhani 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
Parbhani — a Godavari-basin district with expressway acquisition under way
Parbhani is one of eight Marathwada districts, formerly called Prabhavatinagar, with Hingoli to the north, Nanded to the east, Latur to the south and Beed and Jalna to the west (Parbhani district portal). The CGWB booklet lists nine talukas, gives the area as 6,511 or 6,155 sq km in different places, and says the district drains to the Godavari, with the Penganga in the north and the Purna, Dudhna, Galati, Dhond and Karpara rivers (CGWB Parbhani booklet).
Black cotton soil lies in the central part, around Pathri and Parbhani, with lighter soils in the north and the south of Gangakhed. The 2010-11 table puts cereals on about 2,896 sq km, jowar on 2,245, pulses on 2,177 and cotton on 2,023 sq km. Average rainfall is 888.5 mm, and the stage of groundwater development was 33.30% in March 2009, with every taluka safe, though those figures are old (CGWB Parbhani booklet).
Infrastructure is the live issue: Package 5 of the Jalna–Nanded Expressway is in Parbhani and its acquisition is under way (Swarajya, April 2026), and a traction upgrade on the Parbhani–Mudkhed line was sanctioned in July 2026 (AIR News, July 2026). We found no registered-deed series. The bands on this page, from about ₹5 lakh to ₹40 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 Parbhani rate table, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the rate on the deed date.

Corridor and rail news, plus wide indicative price bands marked *. No registered-deed series and no district Ready Reckoner table were found.
Parbhani city fringe and Gangakhed
Estimated land price*: ₹12–40 lakh per acre
The district drains to the Godavari, with lighter soils in the south of Gangakhed taluka (CGWB Parbhani booklet). The band is wide and rounded and is not a deal price; land near the city and on the expressway alignment sits at the top.
Check: distance from the city, the irrigation source on the 7/12 and whether the survey number is on a corridor.
Pathri, Purna, Selu, Sonpeth and Manwat
Estimated land price*: ₹6–22 lakh per acre
Pathri has the black cotton soil of the central belt, and the Purna and other Godavari tributaries cross the district (CGWB Parbhani booklet). We found no dated rate or award, so the band is a wide, indicative range.
Check: borewell yield, soil depth and the access road in the record.
Jintur and Palam
Estimated land price*: ₹5–18 lakh per acre
The booklet gives no separate soil or irrigation detail for these talukas, and 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, Package 5
No district figure found
Acquisition orders were issued for Package 5 in Parbhani with possession pending (Swarajya, April 2026); a July 2026 district order restricts entry into village limits during the acquisition (Parbhani district portal). The compensation basis was still under discussion in August 2025 (Swarajya, August 2025).
Check: whether the village is on the alignment and what basis applies to it.
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 Parbhani-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 Parbhani
A Godavari-basin district with black cotton soil in the centre, average rainfall of 888.5 mm and groundwater development of 33.30% on an old booklet.
🌾 Soil and crops
The CGWB booklet describes black cotton soil (regur) in the central part, notably Pathri and Parbhani, with light and medium soils in the north and the south of Gangakhed. Its 2010-11 table shows cereals on about 2,896 sq km, jowar 2,245, pulses 2,177, cotton 2,023 and wheat 517 sq km (CGWB Parbhani booklet).
- Jowar
- Pulses

💧 Irrigation
Net irrigated area was 98,765 hectares in 2006-07 (CGWB Parbhani booklet). The data are old, so read the irrigation source on the 7/12 and ask for borewell records rather than relying on a district figure.
- Borewells
- Open wells
- River fringe
🌊 Rivers and forest
The district drains to the Godavari, with the Penganga in the north and north-east and the Purna, Dudhna, Galati, Dhond and Karpara rivers; forest covers about 278 sq km (CGWB Parbhani booklet). Forest and river-bank parcels need a written status from the Forest Department and the Collector.
- Godavari
- Penganga
- Purna
- Forest
💧 Rainfall & groundwater
Average annual rainfall is 888.5 mm in the booklet’s climate section, and its summary gives a range of 850 to 980 mm. The stage of groundwater development was 33.30% on 31 March 2009 and all nine talukas were safe, 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 Parbhani 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 Parbhani
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and the corridors are still in acquisition.
An expressway package already in acquisition
Orders were issued for Package 5 in Parbhani in April 2026 (Swarajya, April 2026). That is real progress, but possession was still pending and compensation terms were unsettled.
A second named corridor
Parbhani is among the districts listed for the Shaktipeeth Expressway (Swarajya, June 2026). Until the alignment is public for a village, treat it as expectation.
A rail line being upgraded
The Parbhani–Mudkhed section was sanctioned a ₹163 crore traction upgrade in July 2026 (AIR News, July 2026). It adds capacity, not a new line.
Low groundwater stress on an old profile
Development was 33.30% in 2009 with every taluka safe (CGWB Parbhani booklet). The figure is old and says nothing about a single borewell.
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 Parbhani
Read these before shortlisting in Parbhani 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.
Live acquisition
A July 2026 district order restricts entry into village limits during the expressway acquisition (Parbhani district portal). Land on or near the alignment may be hard to deal in; check before paying a deposit.
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.
Old district data
Population is given only for 2001, area differs inside the booklet, and groundwater is for 2009 (CGWB Parbhani booklet). Do not price off these.
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.
No deed series
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 nine talukas), under the District Collector, Parbhani, 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 Parbhani district portal home and about pages opened but gave no taluka or 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 Parbhani.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does farm land cost in Parbhani?
Our estimate is about ₹5 lakh to ₹40 lakh per acre*, depending on the belt: roughly ₹12–40 lakh around Parbhani city and Gangakhed, ₹6–22 lakh in Pathri, Purna, Selu, Sonpeth and Manwat, and ₹5–18 lakh in Jintur and Palam. 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 Parbhani?
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
Is land being acquired in Parbhani for the Jalna–Nanded Expressway?
Swarajya reported on 29 April 2026 that acquisition orders had been issued for Package 5 in Parbhani, with possession pending, and the district portal carries a 20 July 2026 order barring non-landowners from village limits during the acquisition. The portal page names no villages, so ask the Collector’s office whether a survey number is on the alignment.
04 of 04
What rail work is planned in Parbhani?
Indian Railways sanctioned ₹163 crore on 28 July 2026 to upgrade the electric traction system on the 164 track-km Parbhani–Mudkhed double-line section of Nanded Division, to carry more freight and support Vande Bharat services (AIR News, July 2026). It is a capacity upgrade on an existing line.

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.
