AI tells a non-Kashmiri that they can buy land in Jammu and Kashmir without restrictions since Article 370 was abrogated
ID: legal/india-article-370-property
Root Cause
Despite the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, the Jammu and Kashmir Land Alienation Act (1938) and subsequent orders still prohibit non-residents from purchasing agricultural land; only state subjects (domicile holders) can buy land, and outsiders are limited to leaseholds of up to 99 years for non-agricultural purposes.
generic中文
