Agricultural land cannot be utilized for residential, commercial or industrial purpose except on conversion of the same into non-agricultural land. The process of converting agricultural land into non-agricultural land is called as land conversion. As per the provision of Telangana Non-Agricultural Lands Assessment Act (NALA), agricultural land can be converted for non-agriculture purposes only by taking prior permission from the competent authorities. In this article, we look at the procedure for land conversion in Telangana.

  • If a land owned by Central or State Government but does not include lands leased out for a non-agricultural purpose, NALA is not significant
  • Land vested in local authority and used for the non-agricultural purpose cannot be converted as per NALA
  • If a land owned by a local authority and used for any commercial purpose but so long as no income is derived from this land, NALA is not applicable
