Section 63 of Bombay Tenancy Act put a bar on transfer of any agricultural land to a non agriculturist.  However, section 63 -1A provides provision for transfer of agricultural land for the purpose of any Industrial use, if such area is coming under Industrial zone.  If the total land exceeds 10 hecter, purchaser is required to obtain permission from Development commission of Industries.  If the land is purchase for specific Industrial  use, such user cannot be changed, and use of such land should start within five years from purchase.   There is a ceiling under Mah. Agriculture land (ceiling on holding) Act. For holding any agricultural land more than ceiling as mentioned in the schedule.
