Can I hold agricultural property if I become a citizen of another country?
Question asked by Ms. Sujata Pasala from USA:
Hi Vatsala,
This is Sujata Pasala from USA. I have a quick legal question about agricultural property. Could you please help me with this question? Can I hold AGRICULTURAL property if I become a citizen of another country? Basically I wanted to apply for dual citizenship i.e., Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI).
I will really appreciate for your help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Sujata Pasala, USA

If you have already purchased agricultural land, you should hold it quietly. There is no difference in the ban on agricultural land holding between an NRI (which you already are) and PIO (Person of Indian Origin) which you will become after becoming a U.S. citizen. Vatsala
