The claim
A new order by the Assam government does not allow people of different religions to buy or sell land to each other.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that Assam did not ban land transactions between people of different religions. Instead, its new procedure requires verification and permission for such transfers, which remain allowed.[S1]
Additional context
The procedure routes applications through the District Commissioner to the Revenue Department, and police permission is mandatory. The review says the process is intended to assess whether transfers are voluntary and could disturb social harmony. [S1]
The Assam Cabinet approved the procedure on 27 August 2025, according to the review. [S1]
