Vatsala Answers:

A person who is not a resident of India cannot purchase farm lands anywhere in India according to the Foreign Exchange Management Act. A resident is a person who resides in India for at least 182 days a year. An overseas citizen of India is no exception to this rule.However as a person of Indian origin, you can purchase other lands in India that are not agricultural lands.
