Sasti agricultural land kharid ke usko plotting, farmhouse, ya commercial project me convert karna tempting lagta hai. Lekin directly aisa karna kai jagah illegal hota hai. Zoning laws aur land revenue codes normally land use conversion ke clear rules rakhte hain.
Conversion ke liye typical steps:
- Application to competent authority,
- Land records, title, and existing use verification,
- Payment of conversion charges / betterment levy,
- NOCs from departments (environment, irrigation, planning authority, etc.) where required,
- Final order changing land category to non-agricultural.
Bina conversion illegal construction, penalty, demolition, ya registration refusal ka risk hota hai. Many investors yahi trap me phas jate hain – broker ke kehne pe deal close, baad me pata chalta hai ki “ye toh sirf kheti ke liye allowed hai.”
Buyers ko pehle hi master plans, zoning maps, and past conversion orders check karne chahiye. “Farmhouse” tag ke naam pe residential colony develop karna ab regulators ka favourite target ban chuka hai.
Short-term saving, long-term regulatory headache ka swap generally wise deal nahi.
