Apply to panchayat for regularisation of construction carried on said land

1. The house seems to be an unauthorised constructions as building plan was sanctioned before constructing it.

2. However there is no restrictions while selling it and no special permission is necessary while selling it.

3. You can however demolish it and then sell it off.

1. Residential House CANNOT be constructed in "agricultural land", without the house plans getting sanctioned by the "town planning dept) (TP dept) of the Collectors office.

2. Gram Panchayat has no authority to sanction any house plans. It can levy only "house tax", BUT this does not legalize the house.

3. Move proper application thru a registered architect with all relevant documentations to regularise the house and convert the agricultural land into Non-Agri land.

Agricultural land cannot be used for residential purposes. You cannot construct a house on agricultural land to live in, although the land may be owned by you. You need to get the land use converted from agricultural to residential before any construction. Different States have different procedures to do this.

You can convert agricultural land into residential or industrial land by paying a fee. You can get a 'change of land use' after obtaining the necessary approval from the local authorities. You have to apply to the commissioner of the land revenue department, explaining the purpose of conversion. Along with the application, you need to attach certain documents such as ID proof, mutation letter, original sale deed (or gift partition deed), latest tax paid receipt and certified survey map. There is a fee to get the land converted, depending on the nature of the property and its location.

You have to apply to the local Panchayat Union Office to regularise your property first by complying with their procedure, in terms of the recent TN GOs. The Registrar may then register the sale.

The property is still in the nature and type of agricultural land only, hence you may have to apply for conversion to NA by following the proper procedures meant for it through revenue department.

The panchayat approval is not valid and not recognised
