You have to check the revenue records whether land in question can be used for. Ommerica purposes or not 

 

2) the development plan of your city would mention usage of land 

 

3) it is better you approach revenue authorities in your city in this regard

1) Yes, agricultural land should be transfer to non agricultural i.e. N.A. Plot.

2) What you're talking about measurements and N.A is totally different  clauses. To built a house or building a plot should be N.A plot. This N.A. Permission is granted by collector 

3) What type of building is to built on that particular plot means purpose behind it whether residential or commercial use purpose. This is sanction by either collector or municipal corporation authority depending upon in which area land is situated.

4) To guide on this question I need to review property papers, whether you need to perform N.A. Procedure of plot or not.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you are in little confusion about the nature of the land.
  2. You please first get to know as who is the land owing agency of your area.
  3. Once you get an idea about it then file a RTI regrading the nature of the land in question.
  4. If it is already converted then well and good, otherwise you will have to pay the conversion charges to that department only, and then you will be issued a certificate of conversion with respect to the land.
  5. And buying in acres or in square yards, doesn’t tell the nature of the use of the property.

1. Even NA land is available in Acres and square yards or whatever. The local Tahsil office records would show the current status of the land.

2. NA land has to be applied for at the Tahsil office for "change of usage" (Hospital, Mall, School, Residential, Factory and so on.... ) before carrying out the relevant business.

Since it is converted you need to find out it is residential or commercial property. You can easily find this out from SDM office or executive magistrate office. 

And accordingly  you can get the land use converted
