I want to become a farmer

If u r not farmer so u can not purchase agriculture land in Gujarat but first u check a revenue records of land who is now in name as per government records and if u r really farmer so u can purchase a agriculture land in your name. Check all records then decide.

Dear Deepesh,

Have you verified that there is a sale deed ?

If you have checked the government records and if the names of your grandfather is still in the extracts as fo now, then you may be able to buy agricultural land. Many times people purchase land but do not complete the process as per law and hence even though your ancestors had sold it the purchasers may not have transferred it in your name.

But in many cases, in states such as Gujarat and Maharashtra, the authorities ask for "farmers certificate" or "shetkari dakhla" or "Khedut dakhla".This certificate is issued by lower level revenue officers and they would know that you are not cultivating the land and may not give you the certificate and may also be awareof the sale.

You may require to provide more details.
