The Bihar Agriculture Land (Conversion for Non-Agriculture Purposes) (Amendment) Act, 2020

This law regulates how agricultural land in the state of Bihar can be converted for industrial use. It applies to landowners and businesses seeking to set up industries notified by the state government on what was previously designated as farmland. Under this amendment, conversions are permitted provided that applicants secure prior approval from a competent authority and pay the required fees determined by the Department of Industry. This law matters because it simplifies the legal process for industrialization, enabling economic growth in Bihar while ensuring that all agricultural land conversions are officially monitored and aligned with the state's industrial policies.
