To the OP, your question is a question for the Other Countries forum, rather than the British citizenship forum. Can the mods please move the question?
I believe that only Indian citizens and OCIs can own agricultural land in India. As you will not be either between the date of your naturalisation and your successful application for OCI, that may affect your title to the land. It may be better to transfer the property to a family member and then retransfer it back after acquiring OCI. Or it may be worth looking at creating a family trust or a company incorporated in India to hold the land. Be aware that I am not a lawyer and you may need to consult an Indian lawyer with regards to your query.

A major correction, OCIs CANNOT own agricultural land in India (but can inherit and keep already bought farm land) nor hold any government post and no voting rights.

thanks but no thanks for that much unwanted advice, I have much bigger fish to fry. I was aware of rules with regards to ownership of agricultural land being restricted to Indian citizens. I theorised that OCIs likely would have analogous rights. The rest of the information is based on the fact that in the period between acquiring British citizenship and acquiring OCI (which I thought did allow him to own agricultural land), his lack of either status would efffectively render his tiitle to such land invalid and hence offered what seemed to me to be valid alternatives to work around the restrictions.Manka10 wrote:dude, where did you get this info from???secret.simon wrote: I believe that only Indian citizens and OCIs can own agricultural land in India.

No legal advice is required anywhere, the rules are crystal clear, no need to go through the hassle of transferring, re-transferring properties or form any company.secret.simon wrote: I was aware of rules with regards to ownership of agricultural land being restricted to Indian citizens.

I did clarify that Indian legal advice would be needed as I felt it is a specific question more related to land ownership law than to immigration or citizenship law and hence it is not even an issue for these forums.
