The land belonging to scheduled castes or tribes cannot be bought by non-dalits, including companies as such transactions are unconstitutional. Section 42 (SC, ST Act) provides some general restrictions on sale, gift and bequest of the interest of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe, in the whole or part of their holding. "The reason for such general restrictions is not only to safeguard the interest of the members of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe, but also to see that they are not being exploited by the members of non-Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes. Previous Permission of the District Collector/ Magistrate is required for Sale of land belonging to a Schedule Caste/Schedule Tribe to a General caste person. Apparently, there is embargo on the sale of land of a person from SC/ST community but the same should not be applicable to flats purchased by him. Hence if you get a buyer and consideration is settled, receive at least 25% of the total amount and make a sale agreement. In the agreement do mention the time limit within which the buyer will have to complete the sale on payment of balance money. Before finally signing on the sale deed receive the balance money. To check the sale agreement and sale deed take assistance of a lawyer. All the best. Regards.
