Bank can take mortgage of agricultural land for loan. The same is also liable to be sold in execution of the mortgage decree or Recovery Certificate where the debt is less than Rs.10lakhs or more as the case may be. However, the Bank cannot enforce its rights under the SARFAESI Act to sell the land in default of payment as the same is exempted under that Act.
