Buying Land in Fatehpur

Fatehpur — land purchase legal rules

⚠ Two checks come before any advance in Uttar Pradesh: the Revenue Code limit of 5.0586 hectares (about 12.5 acres) on what one person can acquire by purchase or gift, and the registry position in the DNGIR villages near Noida, where a purchase halt was reported in January 2024 and no later word was found. UP Revenue Code 2006, section 89; Sakshi Post, January 2024.

Fatehpur — district-specific notes

⚠ Fatehpur is a common place name. Check that a listing, a khatauni extract and a sale deed all name Fatehpur district, and which of the three tehsils (Fatehpur, Bindki or Khaga) and which sub-registrar covers the village (district industrial profile). Ask for the tehsil and the khasra number before sending any advance.

⚠ The Ganga forms the northern boundary and the Yamuna the southern one (district portal), so some villages sit beside a river. The ICAR-CRIDA plan lists floods as not applicable (ICAR-CRIDA), and we found no flood map or flood history for the district. Ask for the khatauni, the ground level against the nearest bank and local flood history before treating riverside land as a farmhouse site.

⚠ The ICAR-CRIDA plan puts about 18% of the district's area under deep fine soils described as moderately saline and sodic. CGWB's December 2024 state report lists Fatehpur for fluoride, nitrate and uranium above limits at some sampling points (CGWB 2024), without block-wise figures. Ask for a soil test and a borewell water report for the parcel.

⚠ The conversion rule changed in 2026. The state cabinet cleared an ordinance amending section 80 of the UP Revenue Code in March 2026 (Free Press Journal, March 2026). Ordinance No. 14 of 2026 treats a building, development or layout approval inside a notified development-authority or industrial-authority area as the section 80(2) declaration, with the entry recorded in the revenue records within 15 days (PRS, Ordinance 14 of 2026), and a compliance bulletin reports it notified as an Act on 13 August 2026 (TeamLease RegTech, August 2026). Outside such areas the section 80 route through the Sub-Divisional Officer applies, with a 45 working-day decision period (UP Revenue Code text, India Code). Which regime covers your village is a question for the tehsil.

No sourced price series

We found no official or news price series for Fatehpur farmland, and no listing-site figure we could trace to a registered deed, so this page proposes no per-acre band. Ask a seller for the last registered sale in the same village and compare it with the village circle rate on IGRS UP.

Plotted land

Plots at town edges such as Bindki are a different product from farmland, and we found no sourced per-sq-yd series for them either. Do not read a plot quote as a farmland price.

Industry in the district

The industrial profile lists no large-scale unit and counts small units led by repair and servicing (3,863) and agro-based work (2,171) in 2010-11 (district industrial profile). The data are over a decade old; they show the shape of local demand, not its present size.

Wheat income

ICAR-CRIDA's plan gives wheat on about 169,578 ha and rice on about 79,782 ha (2011-12), so crop income is available while land is held. Farm income should not be used to justify a high price; price on location, soil, water and access.

Area in the records

Khatauni records show area in hectares or square metres. Ask a seller to quote in acres or square metres from the record, so that two offers can be compared like for like.

Circle rates and duty

District magistrates set minimum land rates each year and may revise them mid-year (PTI via The Week, March 2025); that report does not name Fatehpur among the districts it lists as pending or underway. We did not open the Fatehpur village rate list on IGRS UP, so no circle rate is quoted. Stamp duty and registration follow the state page, where the base rates remain unconfirmed.

Connectivity

How Fatehpur connects — Kanpur and Prayagraj first, then rail

Fatehpur's buyer base is Kanpur, 76 km away by rail, with Prayagraj 117 km by rail (district portal). Journey times vary with traffic and road works.

Growth catalysts

Upcoming infrastructure & developments

Status labels maintained by the Farmland India research desk. Government-announced timelines — not guaranteed.

No farmland price evidence

No sourced price series was found, so any per-acre figure you are quoted is unproven. Collect registered deeds from the same village and the circle rate from IGRS UP.

Name collision

Fatehpur is a common place name. Confirm district, tehsil and sub-registrar on every document.

Floodplain exposure

The Ganga and the Yamuna bound the district. ICAR-CRIDA lists floods as not applicable, but check ground level and local flood history for riverside parcels.

Saline-sodic soils

About 18% of the area has moderately saline or sodic soils (ICAR-CRIDA). Ask for a soil test before paying for farmland.

Groundwater quality

CGWB's December 2024 report lists fluoride, nitrate and uranium above limits at some Fatehpur sampling points. Test borewell water on the parcel.

No confirmed catalyst

No expressway, airport or industrial park in the district was confirmed, so price a parcel on today's fundamentals.

Conversion rules in transition

The 2026 amendment to section 80 changes how conversion works in regulated areas. Confirm what is in force for your village.

Standard UP checks still apply

The 12.5-acre purchase limit under section 89(2) of the Revenue Code (IGRS UP copy of the Code), SC/ST transfer rules and the NRI bar on agricultural land (RBI, updated September 2022) apply in full; see the state page. Check the khatauni and mutation trail.
