Yes, an NRI can purchase agricultural land in India if it has been converted to non-agricultural use by the relevant authorities. The process involves obtaining permission from the state government for conversion of the land use, after which the NRI can purchase the plot legally.

My brother and I inherited our parents’ assets after they passed away in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Sadly, they didn’t leave a will.

How can I claim my rightful share of the properties and legally prevent him from selling one?
