Nowadays, the trend of making houses by purchasing land in cities and rural areas is increasing. But often people start work without knowing the nature of the land and the rules of construction on it, which has to bear the brunt later. If you do not follow government rules, not only your construction can be declared illegal, but also a bulldozer on it.
Rules to build houses on farming land:
Land in India is mainly divided into two categories-agricultural land (land of farming) and non-agricultural land. If you are thinking of building a house on farming land, then first you have to ‘conversion’ that land. This means that the use of land is converted from agriculture to non-residential objective.This process is done with the permission of local government departments or revenue officials and for this the prescribed fee has to be paid. It is completely illegal to build a house on agricultural land without conversion and by doing so your house can be dropped at any time.
What is ‘account’ and why is it important?
The account is a legal document issued by the local municipality or corporation. It contains details of the assessment of the owner of the property and the status of property tax payment. This is a proof of ownership and compliance with rules.
