LAND TRANSACTIONS


Comprehensive development plan has divided the area into different zones and accordingly lands have to be used for the prescribed activities. Every survey number has specific prescribed land use.  These are:-
1. Residential.
2. Commercial (Retail and Wholesale business)
3. Industrial (light and service industries, medium industries & heavy industries)
4. Public and Semi-public.
5. Utilities and Services.
6. Parks, open spaces, playgrounds (including public recreational areas).
7. Transportation and communication.
Different land uses can also be prescribed for single survey number. It is very important to ascertain the land use prescribed for particular survey number because floor area ratio sets back coverage ad varies according to the land use.

Agricultural lands
Lands surrounding gramathana sites in villages are used for agricultural purposes are known as Agricultural lands. The numbers given to them are called survey numbers. Agricultural lands within Green belt area have many restrictions with regard to conversion and constructions. Agricultural lands falling under urban agglomeration can be converted and used for non-agricultural purposes like, residential, commercial and Industrial subject to compliance of Zonal Regulation land use.  It is very important to note that only Deputy Commissioner of Bangalore District is authorized to permit conversion of agricultural lands to non-agricultural purposes, falling under his jurisdiction.


Who can buy an agricultural land?
In Karnataka agricultural land can be bought after fulfilling 3 requirements. They are: (1) the annual average income of the person including agricultural income, should be less than Rs. 2 lakh. (2) The person must have an agricultural land in his name before the year 1974. (3) The person should be an agriculturist or an agricultural labour by profession.

Gramathana is different from agricultural lands.  It is an area earmarked for residential purposes in a village. It is numbered as Kaneshumari number. Gramathana site though located in green belt area, does not require conversion for residential purposes. But extra care is required while purchasing those properties as there are large numbers of form 10 conversions
