What this step achieves

Converts agricultural land to a non-agricultural use (residential, commercial, industrial, educational, charitable). Without it no building plan can be approved: the empowered officer may not grant construction approval without NA permission.

The form named in the official source

Prescribed application at Annexure-2 to Revenue Department Resolution No. NAP/1006/425/K dated 1-7-2008, bearing a Rs. 3-00 court fee stamp, filed in THREE copies. iORA service 6: 'જમીન મહેસૂલ અધિનિયમની કલમ-૬૫ અન્વયે બિનખેતી પરવાનગી મેળવવાની અરજી'. Related: section 65-A change of NA purpose (iORA row 7); section 65-B bona fide industrial purpose (row 8); sections 66 and 67 (rows 9 and 10).

Statutory fee

A Rs. 3-00 court fee stamp is prescribed on the application form itself. A challan for the LAND MEASUREMENT FEE must be enclosed (amount not specified in the resolution). NA conversion tax / assessment amounts are NOT stated in this resolution.

Timeline stated in the source

STATUTORY: section 65 requires the Collector to inform the applicant of his decision within THREE MONTHS; where he fails to do so the permission applied for shall be DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED. That three-month period runs from the date of the acknowledgment if a written acknowledgment is sent within seven days of receipt, otherwise from the date of receipt of the application. ADMINISTRATIVE (2008 resolution, para 6): maximum 30 days for NA permission for residential purpose statewide, and maximum 45 days for other purposes statewide - but the resolution expressly says these two are administrative instructions only and missing them does NOT create a deemed permission. Receipt of the application must be given immediately if handed in person, or within 7 days if received by post. The Collector's office must give its opinion on title, tenure, premium, acquisition, ceiling, pending disputes and government dues within 21 days; if it does not, it is deemed not to require opining. A District/Taluka Development Officer must verify and forward the case to the Collector's office within 10 days of receipt.

Notes recorded with this step

Declared gaps that touch this step

• Gap 7: NA permission: the CONVERSION TAX and NA ASSESSMENT amounts are not in Resolution NAP/1006/425/K dated 1-7-2008, which fixes only the procedure, the Rs. 3-00 court fee stamp on the application form, and the timelines. The land MEASUREMENT FEE is required as a challan by the Annexure-3 checklist but its amount is not stated. Both recorded as null.
