Hi Sid,
The process is very simple and legit.
1.) We issue a power of attorney for the layer Rajastan, to buy land on our behalf.
2.) They will buy a land for which the agreement papers will be developed and we will scrutinize and accept the same ( if all's good ) - In Rajastan people are allowed and infact encourages to buy and do agri !
3.) once this is done, using this land, the layer gets "bhoomi pramana patra" which is the main part of the farmer certificate.
4.) next he also gets the revenue inspector report of what crops are there this year on part of that land - which forms the second part of the certification.
I will scan my documents and send you a copy when i get a chance, and you can take a look. I preferred this method to any other bribery etc, in spite of its costs ( for actually buying the land, however small it is ) , because of clear legality and legitimacy !
and when i was in western ghats, many layers saw this and all had no problem considering this to allow me and buy agri land in karnataka. but only thing that was required was to convert the documents to kannada, and get a seal from a authorized notary !
in states like maharashtra etc, i hear even this is not required, as they directly accept documents in Hindi as one of the standard processing and record languages !
this is also the reason why the rajastan lawyer made it in hindi, instead of marwari !
all in all i am very pleased with his service, and now i am a certified farmer, who can buy land anywhere in india that offers land on farmer verification.
Kind Regards,
Chandan Maddanna
