Converting revenue land into BDA-approved land is possible, though it involves several steps. Initially, the Deputy Commissioner must grant a DC conversion order, shifting the land's classification from agricultural to non-agricultural use. Following this, the plot needs independent layout approval from the BDA. Once both the conversion and layout sanction are secured, the land becomes eligible for a khata and qualifies for financing through banks.

Can Revenue Land be Converted into BDA Land?

  • Confirm the land's current classification through the record of rights, checking whether it is still agricultural or already converted.

  • Apply for DC conversion, which is the Deputy Commissioner's order under the Karnataka Land Revenue Act changing land use from agricultural to non-agricultural.

  • Ensure the land falls within BDA's jurisdiction, since only the authority governing that area can approve the layout.

  • Submit the converted land for layout approval from the BDA, which sanctions the plot division into individual sites.

  • Obtain a khata for the plot once conversion and layout approval are complete.

  • Secure a building plan sanction, which becomes possible only after all prior approvals are in place.

Is DC Conversion Enough to Make it BDA Land?

No, DC conversion alone does not make revenue land BDA land. Conversion only changes the land's use classification from agricultural to non-agricultural; it does not authorize dividing the land into plots. A separate layout approval from the BDA is mandatory, along with khata issuance and building plan sanction, before the land is considered fully regularized and bank-loan eligible.

A revenue plot is nothing but an agricultural plot and generally the government does not want to convert it as it may result in the scarcity of land for crop production. But with the increase of population many revenue lands are getting changed to residential land. You will need some documents like:

 
  • Proof of your land ownership

  • Zonal certificate from Urban Development Authority/Town planning

  • 3 copies of R.T.C

  • 3 copies of the sketch of your land and more

You might also need to file an application with the Commissioner of the Land Revenue Department and state the reason for conversion. 

Approach your district Commissioner to get accurate details for the same.
