While investing in any agricultural land you must adhere to

the below:

property history, charges on the property, current property
status (all dues paid or still pending) and the number of times
the property has changed hands before being owned by the
present seller

 Agreement: Once the property is decided, make an advance

payment and get a written agreement on a stamp paper duly
signed by both the owner and the buyer in the presence of two
witnesses. An agreement must state the advance paid, actual
price, duration of actual sale, and legal actions to be taken in
case of a default from either party
  Stamp Duty: This should be paid in full and on a timely basis. To
get an agreement stamped it should be without any signature or
date and the agreement can be implemented only when the
Stamp Office fixes stamps on it

office within the timeframe mentioned in the agreement. For
registering a property you need: house tax/property tax
