Small Farmers:

1. For a Small Farmer land holdings should be restricted to 2.5 acres in Wet land or 5 Acres in Dry land.
2. If a Farmer possesses land holdings in both Wet and Dry type, deduct the occupied Wet land from the maximum land of 2.5 acres and then multiply the remaining area by 2. Then the area obtained should be less than 5 acres.

Marginal Farmers:

1. For a Marginal farmer, land holdings should be restricted to 1.25 acres of Wet land or 2.5 Acres of Dry land.
2. If a Farmer possesses land holdings in both Wet and Dry type, deduct the occupied wet land from the maximum land of 1.25 acres and then multiply the area by 2 and the area obtained should be less than 2.5 acres.
