Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) can inherit agricultural land in India, but they must navigate a complex legal landscape. According to the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA), NRIs and OCIs can inherit agricultural land from resident Indians, which is an exception to the general prohibition on non-residents purchasing such land. However, state laws may impose additional restrictions. For instance, in Maharashtra, the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948, requires prior approval from authorities for transferring agricultural land to non-agriculturists, including through a Will. If the heirs are not classified as agriculturists, legal advice is recommended before finalizing any inheritance plans. Furthermore, after inheriting the land, NRIs and OCIs can only transfer it to residents of India, and repatriation of sale proceeds is limited to $1 million per financial year from a Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account. Given these constraints, alternatives such as selling the land during one's lifetime or converting it to non-agricultural use may be worth considering. Professional legal guidance is essential for tailored advice.
