I am planning to purchase a house along with the adjoining plot and use it for commercial purpose, it's an old Portuguese house, and it already has licenses required to serve as a guest house. I want to construct some additional structures in the open are adjoining it, but it's an agricultural land. I am slightly aware that making a permanent concrete structure may not be allowed, but can I at least make some wooden/bamboo structure there?

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
Sir for using a structure for commercial purpose in agriculture land the land has to be converted into NA a residential house for own use though can be constructed.
A bamboo structure for the use of agriculture purpose can be made but making a commercial structure even of temporary nature is not allowed. There can be penalty levied and the structure can be removed.
hello,
you can construct a structure on an agricultural land. generally, permanent structures are allowed on agricultural lands unless there is a specific prohibition in the act like in UP one can construct a house in case of bonafide need.
regards
Obtain permission from local panchayat before you erect any wooden structure on the agricultural land
any residential unit must get permission to construct.
Dear Concerned,
YES - generally you can construct upto 10% of temporary sturcture on the size of agricultural land, however the land and building norms are different , best is to check with your local authority on construction norms for agriculture land, DO NOT go by Google....... take exact info from development office - after all its your money you would be putting in -even if it is small amount.
Best of luck
1. In the agricultural land making concrete structures is mostly banned.
2. SO better meet the local authority to find out what sort of structure is permissible. may be they would allow wooden structure. If they do then seek necessary license and then raise the stricture.
3. Meet the local authority in person and do not rely on local thugs.
Thanks for the answers, I would again like to just clarify that the purpose of leasing the building and the adjoining land is for commercial purpose. So whatever structure we may end up raising in the agricultural land be it of concrete/wood/bamboo that would be used for a commercial purpose. I am understanding that a structure for residential purpose on an agricultural land may be allowed, but would the same be allowed for a commercial one?
It would not be allowed on agricultural land
2) convert agricultural land into NA obtain permission then erect wooden structures
No sir for a commercial use a structure it is not allowed, for that for that particular area you are making structure you need to convert the land from agriculture to NON agriculture for commercial use. Have to pay the conversion fee and state conversion rules apply.
1. You can file an application for conversion of the said agricultural land to bastu land before the local Municipal Corporation of Goa.
2. Till the character of the land is converted, you can create movable/temporary structure on the said agricultural land.
1. As per law, you shall have to convert the land from 'agricultural' to 'bastu' for carrying on permanent construction.
2. Without converting the character of the land in records, you can create temporary construction which will be required for people's staying in the guest house whether for owners personal dwelling of for using for commercial purpose.
The temporary structure may not serve your purpose. Moreover since it is an agricultural land, the temporary structure also may attract sore eyes of the authority concerned.
Instead of keeping a constant vigil over the eventuality in case of going ahead with your proposal to use the vacant site to annexe it to the main complex, better apply for formal permission to convert the land to NA and then with the plan approved, you can go ahead with the proposed constructions.
Even a residence occupying the entire agricultural land is not permitted.
A portion of land can be used for residential purpose but that also may not be permitted if a concrete structure is to be built on it.
The commercial activities in the agricultural land without NA conversion may not be permitted.
You may check it up with the land revenue department about this or from the collectorate.
