Land law is state law. These rules are maintained on the Rajasthan page and apply to every district within it.
In the Ceiling Act and the part of the Tenancy Act we read, no clause limits the purchase of agricultural land to farmers. The limits that do appear sit elsewhere: who may sell (Section 42), how much one family may hold, and how the land may be used once bought.
Who can buy agricultural land? We found no farmer-only clause in the Rajasthan Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holding Act, 1973 or in the first 100,000 characters (of about 108,700) of the Tenancy Act, 1955, apart from the Section 42 bar described below. Clause (a) of Section 42 was omitted with effect from 11 November 1992. Whether any residency or farmer test applies to a particular parcel should be checked with the Sub-Registrar before an advance is paid.
Ceiling limits still apply: Section 4(1) of the Ceiling Act sets, for a family of up to five members, 18 acres of land under assured irrigation that can grow two crops a year and 27 acres where it can grow one crop. Unirrigated land is capped by zone: 48 acres in the fertile zone, 54 in the semi-fertile zone, 125 in the semi-desert zone and 175 in the desert zone (the hilly-zone figure is unclear in the printed text). The ceiling rises by one-fifth for each member beyond five, up to twice the base. Section 17(1) bars acquiring land that takes a holding past the ceiling, and Section 17(2) requires declarations from buyer and seller before the transfer document is registered. The India Code text records amendments up to 2020, so the current schedule needs checking.
SC/ST khatedar land, Section 42 of the Tenancy Act: under clause (b), a sale, gift or bequest of khatedari rights by a Scheduled Caste member to a person outside that community, or by a Scheduled Tribe member to a person outside that tribe, is void; clause (bb) adds the Saharia tribe (Tenancy Act). In State of Rajasthan v. Aanjaney Organic Herbal Pvt. Ltd., Civil Appeals 6741-6742 of 2012, the Supreme Court held on 20 September 2012 that a sale by an SC member to a company was void (Supreme Court, September 2012). In February 2025 the Rajasthan High Court held again that a non-SC/ST buyer cannot acquire khatedari rights by adverse possession (LiveLaw, February 2025). The seller's community should be read from the jamabandi before any money moves.
Conversion for non-agricultural use, Section 90A: Section 90A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956 requires permission before agricultural land is put to non-agricultural use, building included. The State Government decides after an inquiry, the holder pays urban assessment or a premium, and use without permission exposes the holder to ejectment under Section 91 or to a penalty (Indian Kanoon text of Section 90A; the India Code copy could not be opened). The Rajasthan High Court noted in February 2022 that the government may regularise unauthorised conversions (LiveLaw, February 2022). For rural land, the 2007 conversion rules name the deciding officer by use and size: the Tehsildar for a residential unit up to 2,500 sq m, the Sub-Divisional Officer, Collector or State Government for larger plots. A complete application is to be decided within 90 days, and the converted land used within five years (Rules 9(3) and 14(1), Revenue Department rules, 2019 compilation). Later amendments to the rules were not read.
NRI & OCI buyers: The Reserve Bank's Master Direction under FEMA 1999 lets NRIs and OCIs buy immovable property other than agricultural land, plantation property or a farm house, in Rajasthan as elsewhere (RBI Master Direction, updated to 1 September 2022). The inheritance clauses carry no such exclusion, and residential or commercial plots are not on the excluded list.
The Rajasthan state page applies to Bundi in full. The notes below are specific to this district. Law was read from India Code texts and a Supreme Court judgment; the district portal returned only a generic state page to our fetch, so tehsil and block lists come from a 2018 CGWB booklet and an older MSME profile.
⚠ Section 42(b) of the Tenancy Act makes a sale, gift or bequest of khatedari rights by an SC member to a non-SC person, or by an ST member to a non-ST person, void (Tenancy Act). The Supreme Court applied the bar to a company buyer in September 2012 (Supreme Court, September 2012) and the Rajasthan High Court held in February 2025 that adverse possession gives such a buyer no khatedari rights (LiveLaw, February 2025). Read the seller's community from the jamabandi before any money moves. The Ceiling Act sets, for a family of up to five, 18 acres of land irrigated for two crops a year and 27 acres for one crop, with unirrigated land capped by zone from 48 acres (fertile) to 175 acres (desert); Section 17(2) requires declarations from buyer and seller at registration (Ceiling Act, 1973). The India Code text records amendments up to 2020, so the current schedule needs checking. Most of Bundi's net sown area is sown more than once (2,33,900 of 2,69,215 ha in 2023-24), so the irrigated tiers of 18 and 27 acres are the ones a buyer assembling a large holding is likely to meet; the class of each parcel comes from its irrigation record.
⚠ Non-agricultural use, a farmhouse included, needs conversion under Section 90A of the Land Revenue Act, 1956 (Indian Kanoon text; the India Code copy could not be opened). For rural land, the 2007 rules name the deciding officer by use and size, require a decision within 90 days of a complete application and use of the converted land within five years (Revenue Department rules, 2019 compilation). Later amendments to the rules were not read.
⚠ Bundi has limestone and sandstone mining. The MSME profile calls limestone and sandstone the district's most important minerals, with sandstone output of 6,21,111 tonnes in 2011-12 (MSME profile, c. 2012), and the Indian Minerals Yearbook 2021 lists cement-grade limestone and a cement plant at Lakheri (Indian Bureau of Mines, 2023). We did not open a lease map, so ask the Mines Department whether a khasra sits inside or beside a lease.
⚠ The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway's Kota tunnel is reported to pass beneath the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve (The Tribune, June 2026). We did not source whether any Bundi land falls in a tiger reserve, sanctuary or eco-sensitive zone, so ask the Forest Department about any hill or forest-edge khasra. Bundi is named among 21 Rajasthan districts to benefit from the ERCP-linked Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal project, which was at DPR stage in December 2024 (Lok Sabha, December 2024); we found no land-acquisition notice for it.

District overview
Bundi is a south-eastern Rajasthan district of 5,550 sq km and 11.1 lakh people (2011) (CGWB, 2018). The Chambal forms its eastern boundary with Kota (MSME profile, c. 2012). Limestone and sandstone are the main minerals, and the MSME profile lists handloom, handicraft and Basmati-rice clusters.
We publish no per-acre price band for Bundi. Listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals, and no village-wise DLC list for the district was opened. Statewide, DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi).
On the land itself, Bundi is unusually well watered for Rajasthan. Net irrigated area was 2,56,356 ha in 2023-24 against 2,69,215 ha net sown, with canals supplying 1,18,943 ha and tube-wells 1,03,176 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). Wheat and mustard dominate, and IMD recorded 1,251.6 mm in the 2025 monsoon against a 644.4 mm normal (IMD, 2025).

The surcharge cap was raised from 10% to 20% by the Rajasthan Stamp (Amendment) Bill, 2018 (PRS, Bill 18 of 2018; The Tribune, September 2018). The rate notified today is not confirmed, and the base stamp duty and registration fee for a sale deed could not be traced, so none is quoted for Bundi. Deeds are registered through the Registration and Stamps Department's ePanjiyan system (NeGD listing). Patrika reported that DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi), and in December 2024 irrigated agricultural land in rural areas rose by up to 50% with agricultural registration moving to hectares (Patrika, December 2024). Since July 2024, Rule 57 of the Stamp Rules lets the registering officer inspect the land and value open land and structures separately (TeamLease RegTech, July 2024). The current schedule and the village DLC rate should be taken from the Sub-Registrar.
Know the belt
There is no sourced price series for Bundi. The cards below show the DLC schedule, mining land, the ERCP link and units.
5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 Aug 2026
Patrika reported that DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi). We did not open a Bundi list, so we cannot say which villages were revised.
Check: the village's DLC rate at the Sub-Registrar, dated to the registration month.
Reported irrigation, not a price
Canals irrigate 1,18,943 ha net and tube-wells 1,03,176 ha, which is the main agricultural difference from rain-fed Rajasthan districts (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). The statistics say nothing about land rates.
Check: recent registered deals in the same revenue estate before negotiating.
Limestone and sandstone
Limestone and sandstone mining and a cement plant at Lakheri are documented (MSME profile, c. 2012; Indian Minerals Yearbook 2021). Leased mineral land is not ordinary farmland.
Check: the lease position of any khasra near a quarry.
No sourced price series
Listing-site asking prices for Bundi could not be traced to registered sales, so none is shown.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same revenue estate before negotiating.
Agricultural registration in Rajasthan moved to hectares in December 2024 (Patrika, December 2024). Local measures still differ between tehsils and villages, and we did not source a conversion table, so convert every quoted area against the jamabandi before comparing offers.
Connectivity
Distances to Kota, Jaipur and Delhi are not given because no official or news source for them was found. Journey times vary with traffic and road works.
The practical question is the last leg from the highway or canal road to the parcel, and whether a revenue road reaches it. Road and rail facts are from an older MSME profile and have not been re-checked against current timetables. Read the Rajasthan rules in the Rajasthan agricultural land guide.

Agriculture & terrain
A canal- and tube-well-irrigated wheat and mustard district at the Chambal, with groundwater records that conflict inside the same booklet.
Wheat takes 28.22% of cropped area, rapeseed and mustard 17.26%, maize 5.89% and gram 4.44%; net sown area is 2,69,215 ha, gross cropped area 5,03,115 ha and 2,33,900 ha is sown more than once (Agricultural Statistics of Rajasthan 2023-24). The 2018 booklet also lists rice, coriander, red chilli, garlic, soybean, sugarcane and vegetables (CGWB, 2018).
The booklet lists lithosols and regosols on the hills, yellowish-brown soils at the foothills, recent alluvium, brown soils with a saline phase and black soils (CGWB, 2018). Village-level soil data was not opened.
Limestone and sandstone are the most important minerals; the profile also lists silica sand, marble, iron ore, clay, granite, slate, red ochre and barytes (MSME profile, c. 2012). Mining areas are leased and are a separate title question.
Net irrigated area in 2023-24 was 2,56,356 ha, about 95% of net sown area by our arithmetic: canals 1,18,943 ha, tube-wells 1,03,176 ha, open wells 31,101 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). IMD recorded 1,251.6 mm against a 644.4 mm normal in the 2025 monsoon, 94% above (IMD, 2025). The 2018 CGWB booklet contradicts itself on groundwater: its resource table (as on 31 March 2013) gives a stage of 95.04% and lists Hindoli (115.34%) and Nenwa (115.8%) as over-exploited, Talera (69.67%) and Keshoraipatan (86.22%) as safe, while other pages give 174.11%, 118.78% and 65.26% (CGWB, 2018). The CGWB 2024 state report lists Bundi among districts with sporadic readings above the limits for salinity, fluoride and nitrate (CGWB, 2024). Ask for the current block category and check the borewell yield.
Registered area is in hectares since December 2024 (Patrika, December 2024). Local measures differ between tehsils, so match every offer to the jamabandi area. We did not open Agmarknet, so no mandi price is quoted.

Farmland India view
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that price evidence is thin and the infrastructure items are early-stage or adjacent.
Net irrigated area is about 95% of net sown area, and canals supply 1,18,943 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). That makes Bundi farmland a different proposition from rain-fed parcels elsewhere in the state.
2,33,900 ha was sown more than once in 2023-24 against 2,69,215 ha net sown (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24), which points to intensive wheat and mustard farming.
The Chambal separates Bundi from Kota (MSME profile, c. 2012), and the expressway tunnel scheduled near Kota is the nearest large project (Business Today, July 2026). No source ties it to Bundi land.
Bundi is on the Lok Sabha list for the Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal link (Lok Sabha, December 2024), but the project is at DPR and appraisal stage with no date.
Section 42, ceiling declarations, mining-lease checks and groundwater all turn on the individual parcel, so the buyers who do well read the jamabandi and the water record first.
Confirm khatedar class, conversion status and groundwater directly; these are not certified by Farmland India's review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Read these before shortlisting in Bundi specifically.
The 2018 CGWB booklet gives stage-of-extraction figures from 65.26% to 174.11% on different pages, and its block table lists Hindoli and Nenwa as over-exploited (CGWB, 2018). Ask for the current block category and the borewell record.
Limestone and sandstone are mined in the district (MSME profile, c. 2012). A khasra near a lease can carry access, blasting or title limits that the jamabandi does not show.
A tiger reserve lies near the Kota tunnel (The Tribune, June 2026). We did not source Bundi boundaries or eco-sensitive zones, so ask the Forest Department about any hill-edge land.
A sale of khatedari land by an SC or ST member to someone outside the community is void under Section 42 (Tenancy Act), and holdings above the ceiling cannot be acquired (Ceiling Act). Irrigated land is subject to the lower ceiling tiers.
The link was at DPR stage in December 2024 and under appraisal a year later (Lok Sabha, December 2024; NBM&CW, December 2025). Price a parcel on today's fundamentals.
The district map changed in 2023 and again on 28 December 2024 (Scroll, December 2024). The ERCP list uses pre-2025 names, so check which district and Sub-Registrar office a village now falls under.
We use no listing-site prices for Bundi, and DLC rates changed in April and August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026). A valuation agreed in spring may not match the schedule at registration.
Who to contact
Conversion of rural agricultural land is decided by the Tehsildar, Sub-Divisional Officer, Collector or State Government, depending on use and plot size (Rule 9, Revenue Department rules, 2019 compilation). Sale-deed registration is handled by the Sub-Registrar office under the ePanjiyan system, which feeds eDharti land records for agricultural deeds (NeGD listing). The District Collector's office coordinates revenue matters for the district. Mining questions go to the Mines Department and forest-edge questions to the Forest Department. The district portal, the Revenue Department portal and ePanjiyan were not opened for this page, so office locations and tehsil jurisdiction should be taken from the department directly.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Bundi.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
On the texts we read, yes: the Ceiling Act and the part of the Tenancy Act we read contain no clause limiting purchase to farmers. Section 42 voids a sale by a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe khatedar to a non-member, and the Ceiling Act caps a family's holding (18 or 27 acres irrigated, 48 to 175 acres unirrigated by zone). NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land under the RBI Master Direction. We read no later amendments, so confirm the current limits.
02 of 04
We publish no per-acre band, because listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals and we did not open a Bundi village-wise DLC list. The dated reference points are statewide: DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026). Check the village rate at the Sub-Registrar.
03 of 04
Base stamp duty and registration fee: no official or news source reached, so we state none. Statewide, a surcharge of up to 20% on stamp duty for cow protection is set by the Rajasthan Stamp Act, 1998 (The Tribune, September 2018), and Patrika reported in August 2026 that duty and fee follow DLC rates. Confirm the rate with the Sub-Registrar.
04 of 04
Not on the expressway: The Tribune (June 2026) names Alwar, Dausa and Kota as the Rajasthan districts on the route. Bundi is named among 21 districts to benefit from the ERCP-linked Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal project, which the Lok Sabha was told in December 2024 was at DPR stage with no cost estimate or date.

For developers
Browse reviewed projects and individual land parcels across Bundi — or if you own land here, list it with platform review and reach serious buyers.
Farmland India ("the Platform"), operated by Bulk Procure Private Limited, is a digital marketplace for listing agricultural land, farmhouse and plotted development projects. The Platform is not a real estate broker, agent or intermediary under RERA or any other applicable law, and does not act for either party to a transaction.
Listings are submitted by developers, owners and their authorised representatives. Before publication, the Platform carries out a documentary review of the material supplied and records what was sighted. That review is limited to the documents made available to us at that time. It is not a title investigation, not a legal opinion, and not a warranty of title, approvals, or the accuracy of any information supplied by a lister. The Trust Score is an internal assessment produced from that review and is intended as a research aid, not as a guarantee of outcome.
Every buyer must carry out independent due diligence before any transaction — including verification of land records, encumbrance searches, approvals and regulatory compliance — through their own advocate and chartered accountant. Any legal or advisory professional introduced through the Platform is engaged directly by the user, on that professional's own terms; the Platform does not employ, supervise or accept responsibility for their work.
Nothing on the Platform is investment advice. Land values can fall as well as rise. The Platform is not liable for any loss, dispute or damage arising from a transaction between parties.
