As per Karnataka Land Reforms Act, if any one who is not from Agriculture background wants to buy an agriculture [Wet/Dry] land can approach the D.C for their intention to become agriculturist. If they fullfill the requirements [Documents, Intention to become Agriculturist etc.,] then D.C will give permission to buy A, B or C Class Agriculture Land. This rule will not applicable for buying Plantation Crops i.e., Coffee, Tea, Rubber, Pepper, Cardamom etc., The land having plantation crops does not comes under ceiling limits(section 63 & 64), that land has no application of section 79A and 79B of land reforms act. That is even non agriculturist or any one can buy land having plantations crop

in your case the following needs to be considered,
Since you worked for an MNC; i presume that your Salary would have been greater than Rs.2Lacs /annum...This would make you in-eligible to purchase agricultural property under the Karntaka land refroms act.
Hence suggest that you consult an lawyer locally and get the procedures in place failing which land purchased will be vested back to Govt.
