Can one buy converted agricultural land for residential purpose?
Question asked by Kashi from Bangalore, India:
Dear Sir/Madam, Hi, I am planning to buy a site in Bangalore and the one I am about to buy is a agricultural land. The land owner has converted that agricultural land to sites. But the main worry for me is that – this conversion its not approved by any authority. Can you please let me know whether i can buy such lands? Can you please also let me know after purchasing that land is there any procedure that i can get that approved for house construction?
Also can you please give me a checklist for the list of documents required to buy these revenue sites.
Thanks
Kashi

No, it will not be possible for you to register a site on unconverted land unless it comes within BBMP limits and is regularized by the Sakrama Scheme. Even if it is possible for you to somehow get it registered, you will find it difficult to procure bank loans. The house itself can be constructed with local Panchayat approval. The documents required for title scrutiny are R.T.C., parent deeds, Mutation certificate, layout plan, contracts between builder and land owner, relevant family tree, tax paid receipt, encumbrance certificate, etc. This is a general list and the requirements will vary from case to case.
