Buyer Guide
In Karnataka, land is agricultural by default. You cannot legally build a house on agricultural land, however many plots someone has drawn on it.
What conversion is
The owner applies to the Deputy Commissioner of the district to change the land use from agricultural to residential. If it is granted, the DC issues a conversion order with its own number and date. That order is what makes a plot legally buildable.
Why unconverted plots are sold anyway
They are cheaper, and they look identical on the ground. Buyers find out later, when they apply for a building licence or a loan and are refused, or when the khata comes back as B khata. Regularising afterwards is slow and not guaranteed.
How to check
- Ask for the conversion order number and date, not a verbal assurance
- Check that the survey numbers on the order match the survey numbers of the layout
- Check that the converted extent covers the whole layout, not part of it
- Have your lawyer verify the order against the revenue records
