As of 8 November 2026, a buyer in Karnataka with assured annual income of ₹30 lakh from non-agricultural sources wants to buy agricultural land. What effect does section 79A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961 have on the purchase?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Karnataka Act 56 of 2020 omitted section 79A of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961.
An acquisition must still comply with any other applicable transfer or holding restrictions.
Option feedback
Option A
Section 79A was omitted, so its former threshold does not continue to bar acquisition.
Option B
The 2020 Second Amendment omitted section 79A. Other applicable land-transfer restrictions are separate.
Option C
A court sale is not required to avoid a threshold that has been removed.
Option D
Former section 79A concerned the acquirer, and the omission removed the rule.
