Indian Topic Author	Is it possible to register an agricultural land on my name in India if I am in US without giving any power of attorney. I have signed and given thumb impression in one document. Is is possible with that single doc. Please suggest.

I dont think you can buy a land in your name if you are a US citizen.
what do you mean that you have signed and given thumb impression on one document.Is it on plain document?

Ap Topic Author	To buy an agricultural land, you've got to be a farmer.. If you are not a registered farmer, then you cannot buy.. This is what I've heard. I aint 100% sure on this, but someone else con confirm!!

That document is "Photos and Fingerprints as per Indian Registration and Stamps Act 32A of 1908". this is a simple document which has signature of witnesses and Signature and thumb impression of buyer. I am not US citizen. I came to US last year on work visa. Is it possible to register the land on my name with document. Please advise. Even though it is agricultural land, we need not be farmers because in India everyone has some land.

Ap Topic Author	Please look at the below mentioned links.. It seems that an NRI cannot buy an agricultural land in India. www.agricultureinformation.com/forums/sale/16998-can-i-buy-farm-agri-land-india.html www.agricultureinformation.com/forums/sale/16998-can-i-buy-farm-agri-land-india.html Cheers.

Indian Topic Author	Thanku for the information. But what about that document which I have provided. Is it possible to buy with that document. And as the link says that NRI cannot buy agricultural land, can we buy plots or house from here. i.e we staying at America and buying a house in India without giving power of attorney.

I did not read ur earlier message properly. If you are not an NRI, i.e. you are in US just on a work visa, then no one can stop you from buying a land. I am not sure what exactly the procedure is, but u can get hold of any good consultants who can help you out..

just an FYI.. next time you visit India, give power of attorney to someone from your family and the power of attorney should specify that they can purchase any movable or immovable property in your name.

The rates are going sky high.. purchase something before the rates get too high

Indian Topic Author	But the thing is now we have signed on the document which I have given and sent it through email i.e scanned one. My question is whether the land can me registered on my name with that scanned document or not. They are my friends. But not sure weather the land can be registerd on my name with a single paper. Is it that much simple to register a land without going India?

hi..

It is possible to buy a property on your name from here.The document you send is enough to do the registration but it need to be original paper not scanned copy.you have to send your photo and passport copy(id proof) The process will be like this

You have to choose a person on behalf of you to register the land in registration office.They will consider the signed paper that u will send and they will take a signature from the person(person behalf of you) as a proof.it doesn't matter.

buying a property from here is possible but not selling

Indian Topic Author	They have scanned that original document and sent me through email. Then I have signed and given thumb impression on that and again scanned that and have sent it to them as a scanned document. Is it possible like this. Please suggest.

If you are in US on work Visa, then you have full right to buy land in India. But You need to go in person to the Registrar office or send some one else with POA. There is no other way. No scanned document/ or any signed letter will work.

You are required to put THUMB impression in the office of Registrar in his book, which does not move out of his office. Hope it clarifies.
<I have recently sold/ purchased land couple of time, so telling this from my experience>
