Query on agricultural land

RC (Querist) 15 October 2016 This query is : Resolved
Hello,

Could someone help me understand the ceiling limit of owning agricultural land in UP. In many queries, I have seen a figure of 12.5 acres being mentioned for purchase. However, there is also a mention of 7.3 hectares (18.25 acres) in many sites.

Are there other conditions under which the holding could go beyond that? The question is for irrigated land with 2 or more crops

thanks,

Under the UP Zamindari Abolition and Land Reform Act it was 12.5 acres which has been retained in the new Code.
If you are already having a total area of land measuring 12.5 acres any subsequent purchase of land would be void and there would be a transfer of ownership from you to the State Government.
