135. Selling farm land in India by Foreigner
Q: Hi I am originally from India, I have recently become a British citizen and I am due to surrender my Indian passport. Could you please advise me on what happens to land that is already in my name - it is farm land, will I have any problems selling? Regards Jay Akre A. One does not automatically loose their property by changing their citizenship status. You can sell your farm land only to a person resident in India who is a citizen of India. You cannot sell to an NRI or foreign national.
