As an Indian citizens (non farmer) can i purchase an agricultural land in Maharashtra? The lawyer says that we can do an agreement of sale and pay registration and stamp duty and pay 50% of the decided amount to owner. At this point 7/12 will have my name mentioned but on the side. Then owner will ask for NA. Which can take 3 months. Once done we will do a sale deed and after all papers.. 7/12 and mutation will be done only in my name. Is that possible? Please suggest.
Should we do Deed of conveyance or agreement of sale is sufficient?

Is the land required for agriculture purpose or otherwise?
