How can an NRI repatriate money from selling farm land in India?

Moving sale money abroad is possible but has rules and limits. When an NRI sells inherited agricultural land to a resident buyer, the proceeds normally go into an NRO account first, after tax is dealt with. From the NRO account, the broad framework under FEMA allows an NRI to remit up to USD 1 million per financial year, covering such proceeds, subject to paying applicable taxes and submitting the right forms. The standard paperwork includes Form 15CA and a CA's certificate in Form 15CB confirming taxes have been paid, plus your bank's repatriation forms. Capital gains tax must be settled before remitting, and TDS may already have been deducted by the buyer at the time of sale. The exact route also depends on whether the property was inherited and on documents proving the source. This area is detail heavy and banks are strict, so use a CA experienced with NRI repatriation and confirm the current limit and forms with your bank and RBI guidance.
