Can I build on my farm land?
We have a 0.5 acre farmland located in Khed Shivapur area outside Pune. It is an agricultural land but we have never been involved in agricultural activities ever since we acquired the plot 10 years ago. We are planning to build a house on the barren land there. But I don't understand if I can build on the property legally. If I can, what is the maximum area can I construct and how many floors am I allowed? I have tried to look online and figure out the local regulations but I don't understand. If possible we would like to build 10,000+ sqft. private residence (which includes ground floor, first floor and a basement) for my family as we plan to move out of the city permanently. Can you help me with things I should know and steps I needs to take to make this happen?

you can construct house for your residence after obtaining requisite permission from gram panchayat on your land
You can not construct residential building on agricultural land without changing the agricultural status of the land. However, you can construct any building or shed, to be used solely for the purpose of carrying out the agricultural work.
You can apply to district commissioner or collector to change the status of your land with all documents and history of land activities .
1. IF the 7x12 defines the Land as Agricultural Land THEN you cannot construct any type of permanent structure on the same.
2. You will need to get it converted into Non-Agricultural Land, thru the office of the local collector, and AFTER this get a House construction Plan prepared by a registered architect and have it sanctioned by the local Town Planning Office (under the collector office).
3. The above is the legal procedure. Normally people construct houses and usually nobody cares about it.
If the land is exclusively for agricultural purpose legal permission to construct will be cumbersome. You need to change the use of land
