Step 13 of 35 · stage 2, permission to buy
Premium to lift a tenure restriction
New-tenure (navi sharat) and impartible land cannot be freely sold. Paying the premium fixed by the Collector converts it to old tenure so it can be transferred or put to non-agricultural use.

This office handles 5 of the 35 steps in the register. What else it does, and what it charges.
What to have with you
Not stated The government source for this step does not publish a list of documents. That absence is recorded in the register rather than filled in from an unofficial checklist, so treat any list you are handed elsewhere as somebody's practice rather than as a rule. The document lists that do exist are collected on one page.
The form you fill in
iORA services: row 1 'ગણોતધારાની કલમ-૪૩ મુજબ પ્રિમિયમ ભરવાની મંજૂરી મેળવવાની અરજી'; row 3 (premium for agricultural use of new/impartible tenure land); row 4 (premium for non-agricultural use of new/impartible tenure land); row 5 (conversion to old tenure on recovery of premium in a bona fide sale); row 11 and row 13 (combined premium + NA permission).
What it costs
No fee published. This is one of the 18 steps of 35 where no government source we read publishes an amount, so nobody can tell you the figure in advance from an official page.
Here is exactly what was searched, quoted from the register's own limitations list:
Premium rate for converting new-tenure / impartible land to old tenure (section 43 Tenancy Act, section 65 route): NOT PUBLISHED as a rate. It is fixed case by case by the Collector. The Revenue Department subject page links only 'Government Circulars / Resolutions / Orders for Premium for New Tenure Land (From 1947 to 2008)' as a bundle. No percentage is asserted.
How long it takes
No timing stated. A department that does not publish a service standard cannot be held to one, which is worth knowing before you plan around a date.
No timeline is stated for this step in any source examined for this register. Where a statute prescribes a period it is recorded; where it does not, the value is left empty rather than filled with a turnaround time from an unofficial source.
What to watch out for
The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.
PREMIUM RATE IS NOT PUBLISHED on the Revenue Department subject page or the iORA service list - it is fixed case by case by the Collector. No percentage is asserted here. The evidence checklist for an NA application (see GJ-NA-01) requires a copy of the Collector's order and the premium payment receipt where the land is new tenure.
The law behind it
