Can Non-Himachli buy a land or apartment in Himachal Pradesh
Whether non-Himachali (non-resident of Himachal Pradesh) can buy a plot of land or a house in the state to build a home.
A non-Himachali cannot buy agricultural land. Since the economy of the state is agricultural/ horticultural driven, Himachal Pradesh has certain provisions under which non-Himachal residents and non-Himachal agriculturists cannot buy agricultural land in Himachal.
Special permissions are granted by the Govt. to outsiders who intend to buy land in Himachal Pradesh. Outsiders can however buy land that is not being used for any agricultural purpose. However to buy land they would first require a prior permission from the State Government.
Non-Himachali do not require any special permission to buy or lease constructed property, flat, etc. Anyone who is a citizen of India can freely buy any constructed property in the state. Having said that, one can buy or acquire the property only in urban areas and not in rural or agricultural areas.
Ownership of a non-Himachali’s property would be limited only to the constructed area and the land on which this property is built will not be in his ownership.
