How to Convert Agricultural Land in Rajasthan for Residential Use

In India, agricultural land can only be used for farming, floriculture, cattle rearing, horticulture, and other agriculture-related activities. But it cannot be used for residential or commercial purposes without obtaining prior approval from the government. In Rajasthan, the tehsildar is responsible for granting permission for the use of agricultural land for residential purposes. Here, are a few important information that you need to know in this regard.

1) The agricultural land can be converted for residential use under the Rural Areas Rules, 1992. And, for acquiring a license regarding the same, the applicant has to pay a fee that may vary between ₹ 60-200 per square yard.

2) In order to apply for the license of land conversion, you need to submit an application form to the tehsildar. The applicant has to mention the purpose behind the land conversion along with the information regarding the property detail. Along with the application form, it is important to submit certain documents, such as a self-attested copy of Jamabandi, a self-attested copy of the revenue map, and ID proof.

3) Nowadays, you can also apply online for land conversion. For this, you can visit the official website of the single-window clearance system and sign in for the further process. Once you have completed the application form, it will be forwarded to the concerned authority for approval. And, whenever your application is approved, you can download it.

Conclusion- With the above-mentioned information, you can head toward obtaining a license for the conversion of agricultural land for residential use. We also, suggest you construct your house or property on the land as soon as possible because the license is valid for a limited time. Here, you also need to keep in mind that an agricultural land converted for residential purposes cannot be used for commercial or industrial use.
