Buyer Affidavit — No Earlier Land Purchased Under Section 118

When you need it

You are the non-agriculturist buyer applying for permission under section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, and the Collector needs your own sworn word on whether you have already acquired land in Himachal Pradesh under section 118 before — because permission is capped, and a buyer who already holds land taken under an earlier section 118 order may find that cap works against a further purchase. This affidavit either says you have not, or discloses what you have, so the Collector can weigh the current application correctly. Use it beside `himachal_section_118_permission_application` and the Transferor's own affidavit. Where you are buying jointly with someone else, each buyer swears this affidavit separately.

What follows is written for Himachal Pradesh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.
