Agriculture land

In Gujarat if a farmer cannot cultivate his own agricultural land, there is no problem in permitting someone else to cultivate it on contract as you are doing.

But while doing so please make an agreement that it is only a contract for one year and you are the real owner of the land. You may renew the land every year if you wish.

However, to ensure that you do not lose ownership and farmer status, it is advisable that in one out of every few years, you cultivate the land yourself with the help of some labourers. This will ensure that in the village extracts you will be shown as having done actual farming. This will also remove the uncertainty in your mind.

Even though you have given the land on contractual basis to your uncle, he cannot claim to be the owner. But please do check the khata every year where the talathi makes the entries and ensure that he mentions the details correctly.
