No is the anser. States such as Telangana, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka ban land leasing with some exceptions to widows, disabled people, and defence personnel, among others. Kerala prohibits leasing of the land, but recently it has started allowing self-help groups (SHGs) to lease agricultural land.
