Generally the lands available in Karnataka are basically agriculture in nature, as the major occupation is agriculture and the Government has taken various measures to secure & preserve it. The general use of all such lands is agriculture and if it has to be used for any other purpose other than agriculture, the property owner must obtain legal permission from the competent authority by following prescribed procedures.
Conversion is a legal process by which the property owner changes the use of the land from agriculture to non agriculture purpose. It is also called CHANGE OF LAND USE. The legal sanction/ conversion/ order/grant/permission is necessary to use the land for any other purpose otherwise, the Deputy Commissioner will initiate action and in sub-section (2-A) shall be liable to be demolished and brought back to their earlier use and expenses incurred thereon shall be collected from such persons/s as arrears of land revenue.
Change of land use or Conversion is not accorded or permitted to all the properties. Permission for the change of land use or diversion may be deferred or refused by the Deputy Commissioner under various conditions. The DC Conversion may also be withdrawn or canceled.
DC Conversion is a legal process and is mandatory Under Section 95 of Karnataka Land Revenue Act, by which the occupant or the property owner makes an application to the Deputy Commissioner of the District seeking his assent/permission/sanction for the change of land use from agriculture to non-agriculture(Residential/Public Use/Semi Public Use/Industrial/Commercial) use. The Jurisdictional revenue authority will consider the application on the basis of rules and regulation formulated for this purpose and accordingly an order may be issued. The Conversion fee/fine is levied and an official memorandum (OM) is issued to the applicant, directing the applicant to pay the same in the state treasury. Upon the confirmation of such payment, the Deputy Commissioner will issue Conversion Order. The Conversion order will have certain important conditions. The Occupant or the owner must comply with all the conditions laid down in the conversion order, lest, the order becomes invalid or inoperational without any further notice to the applicant or the owner.
Sir,
Can DC conversion be done for an individual site? Or, can it be done only for a bigger piece of land in terms of acres?
Thanks
Dear Sir,
Please try.

I am planning to buy a site which is A-khata. The betterment charges have been paid in 1998 and A-khata from BBMP has been received recently in 2011. When asked for DC conversion order, person is saying that he does not have conversion order as government was asking for betterment charges directly and providing A-khata in 1998. Is it true? Is it fine to have A-khata without DC conversion order? If its A-khata property, should there be a DC conversion order which can be obtained from BBMP? Thanks a lot for your support and help.
Dear sir,
We cannot visualize or dream of your situation/property/location and the documents and advise either to go for it or refrain from going ahead.

what is the difference between DC conversion charges and betterment charges. When do they give “A” katha.. when DC conversion charges are paid or when betterment charges are paid.
Dear Sir,
It is clear that DC Conversion charge is paid for the conversion of agriculture land use to other purposes and betterment charge is collected for improving or for the providing infrastructure like road and street light etc.
Go to BBMP and find out regarding the payment of betterment charges.

I have seen a 4 years back constructed house with in the BBMP limits, but it is in B Khatha and it is not DC converted. Owners were telling like the “Akarama Sakrama” which is going to come in few months will regularize the houses under BBMP limits, Is it True. Please advice me?
If it is within permissble limits and if it is eligibble and All the illegal and unauthorised structures/buildings will not be regularised. If your seller says so, you must consult your advocate who specialises in regularisation.

My father is a farmer in Andhra Pradesh from past 30 years and owns agriculture land on his name. We are planning to buy 10 gunta of agriculture land on his name in Bangalore outskirts [gunjur to sarjapur road stretch]. Area comes under yellow zone. Is it legal to buy as my father is a farmer and his income is less than 2 lacs per annum? Any idea of the DC conversion charges for the land size of 10 guntas? what could be the rough estimate of DC conversion fees including Govt ‘Hidden’ charges?
