My family, seven brothers in total, owns 15 bighas of shamlat khata land. I have 2 bighas, but we haven’t properly divided the ownership. We’ve been farming it together. I want to sell my share. I heard that selling agricultural land in Delhi is difficult. Do I need my brothers’ permission to sell my portion?

Under Indian law, you have the right to sell your 2 bighas of shamlat khata land. You don’t need your brothers’ permission as long as your ownership is clear. However, selling agricultural land in Delhi might require additional permissions and approvals due to regulations specific to the region.

Is it possible to sell inherited family land without the agreement of all family members?

In 2009, we, a group of 20 families, signed a notarized agreement with a builder for a G+2 building on our own land. The agreement included an extra 20 square feet per flat, which was granted on a temporary basis. However, at the time, the builder lacked ownership, conveyance rights, and BMC approval. We trusted him and vacated our homes, only to have them demolished later. The builder didn’t begin construction until 2015. Now, he has an approved plan for a G+7 building. Can we ask him to allocate us a larger area, given the plot is 250 square meters? Does the government rule on area allocation apply in this scenario?
