Hi,
It is always advisable that the purchasers may not get carried away by the attractive marketing strategies adopted by the small time promoters and brokers who leave no stone unturned to market the sites formed on the agricultural lands without complying with the requirements of law.

Yes, i am agree with you. The rural development and panchayats have been granted permission by the government to approve layouts/residential properties that are within one acre of land within the village boundaries. Lands that are outside the above purview are to be approved by the directorate of town or village planning.

Don't buy any such flat which have not paid conversion fees and obtained conversion Certificate. To convert your agricultural land to residential or commercial one, you have to pay conversion fee to the relevant authority. If it is a Patta lands then you have to pay to the Tahsildar to issue conversion order.
