Observe precautions before buying farm- lands in Maharashtra



Lately, a lot of announcements on the transformation of agricultural or non agricultural (NA) land into farm houses or weekend homes are doing the rounds. These proclamations are mostly directed to lure the NRI and expat community. Magicbricks comes forward to assist the targeted buyers to make good investments without being cheated of their hard earned money. Magicbricks spoke with several industry experts to better equip prospective investors into making a well thought decision.

Looking for properties in Mumbai? Here's your chance!

As per the Lands of Maharashtra Act, agricultural land is not meant for the development of weekend/farm houses. Transfer of agricultural land to a non agriculturist is barred under Section 63 of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948. Also, Section 65 states that the land can be taken over by the Government for management if it remains uncultivable for any two consecutive years.

How have these developers been able to offer land?
“Land in villages along the National Highway 3 (NH3) (Old & New) in Bhiwandi Taluka have been used to develop gated communities. These are either converted lands or those that are co-owned by the original owner for a certain long period. Development of villas and weekend homes is rampant here,” says S Singh, of Shree Ganesh Real Estates, a local broker active in these deals.

However, several of these areas have witnessed disorganised development due to the mushrooming of independent developers resulting in uncoordinated planning.
