However,please NOTE:
It is to be noted that earlier only notified areas were covered under the scope of agricultural land, now however the definition covers all areas whether notified or not. Moreover various limits are proposed for land to qualify as agricultural land. A land will be considered as an “agricultural land” if it is not situated in any area within the distance, measured aerially of not being more than:
1. two kilometers, from the local limits of any municipality or cantonment board and which has a population of more than ten thousand but not exceeding one lakh; or
2. six kilometers, from the local limits of any municipality or cantonment board and which has a population of more than one lakh but not exceeding ten lakh; or
3. eight kilometers, from the local limits of any municipality or cantonment board and which has a population of more than ten lakh..
