Legal safety for land
- Plots in colonies need authority approval under PAPRA, 1995. Avoid unapproved layouts.
- Agricultural land may carry state restrictions on who can buy it and on change of use. Ask your advocate before paying.
- NRIs and foreign nationals cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property or farmhouses under FEMA, 1999 rules.
- A sale needs a registered deed and stamp duty. Never rely on a power of attorney or an agreement to sell as proof of ownership.
