How do I convert agricultural land into NA land in Nagpur?

In Nagpur (and Maharashtra generally), converting agricultural land into NA (Non-Agricultural) land is done through an NA Permission process under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966.

Here’s a step-by-step guide 👇

🔹 Steps to Convert Agricultural Land to NA Land in Nagpur

1. Check Land Eligibility

• Ensure the land is not in a restricted zone (forest, eco-sensitive, reserved land, or government land).
• Confirm ownership through 7/12 extract and property card.
• If the land has multiple owners, get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from all.

2. Apply to the District Collector / SDO

• Submit an application for NA conversion to the District Collector (Nagpur Collector Office) or Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO).
• Application should include details of land use, survey number, and purpose (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.).

3. Submit Required Documents

Typically, you’ll need:

• 7/12 extract & Property card
• Mutation entry (ferfar) records
• Title deed / ownership documents
• Village form 6 (record of rights)
• Latest tax receipts (land revenue paid)
• Map / survey sketch of the land
• NOC from Gram Panchayat / Local body
• Affidavit stating land will be used only for NA purpose

4. Scrutiny by Authorities

• The Town Planning Department checks zoning as per the Development Plan (DP) / Regional Plan.
• Revenue Department verifies ownership & title.
• NIT / NMC / Local Gram Panchayat gives opinion on feasibility.

5. Pay Conversion Charges

• You’ll need to pay NA conversion charges + premium + development charges.
• Charges depend on:
  • Land location (urban / rural Nagpur)
  • Proposed use (residential / commercial / industrial)
  • Market value as per Ready Reckoner rate

6. Get NA Order (Sanad)

• Once approved, the Collector issues an NA Sanad (certificate).
• This changes the land’s status in revenue records from agricultural to non-agricultural.

⏳ Timeline

• Normally 3–6 months, but may take longer if documents are incomplete or objections arise.

💡 Tip

If your plan is to sell plots, you should go for NATP approval (Non-Agricultural Town Planning) after NA conversion, this makes the land more valuable and bank loan–eligible.
