Legal Opinion on Priority of Charges on Agricultural Land in Madhya Pradesh Introduction This legal opinion concerns the priority of charges created on agricultural lands situated in Madhya Pradesh, as per the provisions of the M.P. Krishi Udhar Pravartan Tatha Prakirn Upabandha (Bank) Adhiniyam, 1972, vis-à-vis charges created by cooperative societies under the Madhya Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1960.

[Audio] Priority of Charges: Legal Framework M.P. Krishi Udhar Pravartan Tatha Prakirn Upabandha (Bank) Adhiniyam, 1972 Section 6: Financial Aid and Creation of Charges The Act allows farmers to seek financial assistance from banks by creating a charge or mortgage on their lands or interests therein, even when prior charges or mortgages exist in favor of cooperative societies. Section 7: Priority of Bank Charges Any charge or mortgage on an agriculturist's land created after the commencement of the Act in favor of a bank for financial assistance shall have priority over any charge or mortgage created in favor of cooperative societies or other individuals, with the exception of charges created by the State Government. Precedence of Banking Charges Based on the above legal provisions, charges created by banks for financial assistance post-1972 are to be accorded priority over charges created by cooperative societies or other individuals, irrespective of the chronological order of their creation. Professional Legal Opinion As a legal practitioner, my assessment is that when an agriculturist secures financial aid from a bank, and consequently a charge or mortgage is established on their agricultural land for this purpose, such charge or mortgage will supersede any pre-existing or subsequent charges created in favor of cooperative societies or other individuals. This prioritization is mandated by the M.P. Krishi Udhar Pravartan Tatha Prakirn Upabandha (Bank) Adhiniyam, 1972, and is applicable notwithstanding any conflicting provisions in the Madhya Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. Payment of Government Taxes As per the law, Bhumi Swamis are obligated to pay land revenue to the government for their land ownership. The Madhya Pradesh PAGE16 OFFICE OF PARAG HADA ADVOCATE RESIDENCE-209, SILVER HILL COLONY DHAR (M.P.) OFFICE- BUM-BUM COMPLEX, TRIMURTI NAGAR, Dhar-AHMEDABAD ROAD, DHAR (M.P.)

[Audio] property can limit its use or development potential, which can also reduce its value. On the other hand, some types of encumbrances can increase the value of a property. For example, an easement that provides access to a desirable amenity, such as a lake or beach, can make the property more attractive to buyers and potentially increase its value. 3 Any permission/approval is required for the Bank to create security. For creating security on an agricultural loan under the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme in India, the bank doesn't necessarily need external permission from any other authority. However, the decision to require security and the type of security taken are governed by regulations set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Here's a summary of the RBI guidelines on security for KCC loans: Loans up to ₹1 lakh: Banks are not allowed to ask for any security or margin for KCC loans with a limit of up to ₹1 lakh. Loans between ₹1 lakh and ₹3 lakh (with tie-up for recovery): Banks can consider sanctioning loans without collateral security, but it's at their discretion. Loans above ₹1 lakh (without tie-up) or ₹3 lakh (with tiePAGE19 up): Banks have the discretion to ask for collateral security. In states with online land record charge creation facilities, the bank should utilize them. Therefore, depending on the loan amount and tie-up details, the bank might require your permission to create security on assets. However, the decision to ask for security and the type of security lie with the bank within the framework set by the RBI. OFFICE OF PARAG HADA ADVOCATE RESIDENCE-209, SILVER HILL COLONY DHAR (M.P.)

[Audio] 8 Whether the property is affected by user restrictions under Municipal/Revenue law. As per the legal provisions of Section 165 of the Land Revenue Code 1959, there are restrictions on the mortgage/charge or transfer of agricultural land. However, Section 165(9-b) of the Land Revenue Code 1959 states that these restrictions do not prevent a Bhumi Swami (landowner) from transferring any right in their land to secure payment of an advance made by a Commercial Bank for agricultural purposes or improvements. This section also allows such banks to sell the rights to recover the advance. Additionally, Section 3 of The M.P. Krishi Udhar Pravartan Tatha Prakirn Upabandha (Bank) Adhiniyam, 1972 states that, notwithstanding any law or custom to the contrary, an agriculturist is allowed to alienate their land or interest in the land, including creating a charge or mortgage, in favor of a bank to obtain financial assistance. Considering the legal provisions, I, Parag Hada, advocate, opine that the Bank can mortgage/create a charge on the specified agricultural land under Section 165(9-b) of the Land Revenue Code 1959 and Section 3 of The M.P. Krishi Udhar Pravartan Tatha Prakirn Up bandha (Bank) Adhiniyam, 1972. 9 It is essential to report that the property is not subject to any regulatory issues, and none of the aforementioned concerns are applicable. 9 View of regulatory hurdle If the property is affected by regulatory issues, the advocate has to give a clear view, as to 1 How would such an encumbrance affect the value of the property? ;- An encumbrance can potentially decrease the value of a property by limiting the owner's equity, use or development potential, while certain encumbrances, such as easements, can increase the value of the property.
