Removal of restrictions on alienation

Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force or in any custom or usage, which restrict the right to alienate any land (or any interest therein), it shall be lawful for an agriculturist to alienate (whether by creation of a charge or mortgage on such land, or any other interest) any land to the extent of his right therein, or any right, title and interest he may have in the land, in favour of a bank for the purpose of obtaining financial assistance from that bank.
