102. Agricultural Land Inherited by OCI Q. Hello and good afternoon.I am an Indian born and educated person and currently hold Non Indian passport as well as OCI. I have some agriculture land (in Rajasthan) inherited from my Father/grand-father along with my uncles and brothers. For the purpose of consolidating all our shares from different locations to one location we would like to do some land transfer between brother as well as some with uncle. Being an OCI am I allowed to do such a transfer. If yes is there any government authority I can contact for further information. There may be difference in land (area) switch based on value of different fields and may be a need for small money exchange to balance the transfers.Thanks in advance.M S DhaliwalA. Assuming that your brothers and uncles are Indian citizens, the following scenarios come to mind: You could transfer some/part of your land to them and receive money for it. This would be fine, as agricultural land in India, acquired by foreigners, by way of inheritance can only be sold to Indian citizens. Using the analogy of #1 as an OCI holder you cannot buy agricultural land. Even though you can acquire it by inheritance you cannot buy agricultural land because of your foreign citizenship. So if you were to pay money to your relatives to acquire agricultural land from them; then the question of legality arises as OCI holders cannot purchase agricultural land.There may be an option to work out an agreement of some sort between all your relatives on the division of the inherited agricultural lands. For this, you should seek guidance from a qualified lawyer.I believe the office of the Sub-Registrar or the office of the Tehsildar, in whose jurisdiction the property is located are the ones who can provide you with information on land transfers. 103. Purchase property in Himachal PradeshQ: Dear Mr. V.K. Chand,I received your contact from OCI India Site. I am a Canadian citizen and OCI holder. I am planning to buy a flat at Shimla or surroundings at H.P. What are the legal requirements or restrictions, if any, around this – my main question being am I legally entitled to buy a flat at Himachal? I will sincerely appreciate to receive your feedback on this.Regards,Mr. P. Chatterjee A. Under the Government of Himachal Pradesh laws, only permanent residents of Himachal Pradesh can buy land in the state. All others who wish to purchase land for projects such as building houses and bungalows are required to seek relaxations under Section 118 of the Land Reforms and Tenancy Act from the HP government.In 2006, rules were slightly relaxed to allow Non-Himachal residents to purchase land in certain areas of Himachal for industries and to private builders to develop housing projects. Non-Himachal resident Indian citizens can purchase properties only from authorized licensed builders.Permissions by the Himachal government are considered on a case by case basis. Indian news media widely reported in 2007 that the Himachal Pradesh government had given permission to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra a non-Himachal resident to build in Himachal Pradesh.Regarding your question about the legality of buying a flat, there is no circular, that I am aware of that clearly states that OCI holders can buy flats in Himachal Pradesh.There may be many property dealers who try and sell by taking bribes and perhaps hiding citizenship status when filling documents. In such cases the buyers are always on shaky ground. You should be able to find useful information from the Himachal Pradesh Housing & Urban Development Authority about buying properties in Himachal Pradesh. Here is a link to their WEBSITE
