One Stop Solution For Non Agricultural Permissions In Maharashtra

Introduction

The Government of Maharashtra, as a part of its initiative towards ease of doing business, has by its Government Resolution dated 23 May 2023 ("GR") simplified the process relating to conversion of user of land from agricultural use to non-agricultural use or from one non-agricultural use to another non-agricultural use and at the same time, obtaining development permissions and approvals.

Position Prior to the GR

Since 1966, any person who intended to (i) convert any agricultural land for utilizing it for non-agricultural purpose, or (ii) convert non-agricultural land from one purpose to another, had to seek prior permission of the Collector under Section 42 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 ("MLRC").
