issued by village Accountant. It contains the details of survey number, total
extent of the land, names of the persons who are the owners and their extent of
holding, persons in possession and details of crops grown and land revenue for
any particular period. It also contains the details of conversion of land from
agriculture to non-agricultural purpose.

Accountant. It records the transfer of land and the mode of such transfer,
recommendations of the enquiry Officer for such transfer, date of entry of
transfer and the record of rights.
How
revenue land be used for residential purpose?

Revenue Land has to be converted for residential purpose. After conversion of
the agricultural land to the residential purpose, the assessment of the land
has to be done by the local authority like Gram-panchayat, City Municipal
Council, etc., for house site. The layout thus formed has to be approved by the
statutory authorities like BMRDA, BDA.
How to
detect the Revenue Sites and approved residential sites?
All the
documents of the property, origin of title, RTC extracts, mutation extracts,
conversion orders, paid conversion fee receipts, have to be examined. If the
land is converted, it should be reflected in RTC. Further, tax payments
receipts discloses the nature of the tax paid, whether land revenue or property
tax. Revenue Lands have survey nos. and are mentioned in areas and guntas;
whereas, residential sites have site numbers and mentioned in square feet. An
experienced advocate would be helpful owing to the complexity of the different
documents.
