How a non Himachali non Agriculturist can buy land for building home in rural area of Himachal Pradesh.

Hey buddy,

Himachal is a beautiful state and even I want to buy a home there. Like you, many people have queries like “Can non residents buy property in Himachal Pradesh” or “How can non-Himachali buy land”. Let me tell you that as per Tenancy Act’s section 118, a non-Himachali can’t purchase land in Himachal Pradesh.

If you want to purchase land in Himachal Pradesh, then you can do it in the following way:

• You will have to seek permission from the state government if you want to buy non-agricultural land.

• You will be required to mention the reason for which you wish to buy the land under Land reform Rules 1975 and Himachal Pradesh Tenancy’s Rule 38A (3). You will be required to mention whether it’s for industrial / residential / educational / commercial / business/ healthcare projects or any other purposes.

• You will need a certificate from the respective department to justify the amount of land needed. Permission can be granted for up to 500 square meters of land for residential purposes.

I hope now you know how can non-Himachali buy land in HP.
