The Telangana Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non Agricultural purposes) Act, 2006
This Act regulates how agricultural land in Telangana is legally transitioned to non-agricultural uses. It applies to all private property owners and occupiers who want to use their farming lands for commercial, industrial, or residential purposes. Under this law, owners must seek formal government permission and pay a mandatory conversion tax, while unauthorized conversions incur an additional fifty percent penalty fee. This legislation is crucial because it regulates urban expansion, generates state revenue, and ensures all land use changes are instantly recorded in the digital Dharani land registry portal, preventing future disputes and securing clear and legal property ownership titles.
