Land record or jamabandi problem
A general land-record complaint — we ask one question to find the exact route instead of guessing.
Start here
For changing the use of agricultural land to non-agricultural use, apply at the district office of the Revenue and Land Reforms Department with the required documents.
Who is responsible
Change of land use from agriculture to non-agriculture is a regulated permission in Bihar. The application is examined at the district level, and the decision and any conditions or fees are communicated through the revenue office.
Important condition: Rules, permitted use categories and the fee structure for conversion are notified by the state and can change; confirm the current requirement with the district revenue office before applying.
