What is an NA Plot? Agricultural-to-Non-Agricultural Conversion, Simply Explained
When you're plot-hunting in Pune, PCMC or the surrounding villages, the term NA plot comes up again and again. NA stands for Non-Agricultural — land that has been officially converted from farm use to residential, commercial or industrial use.
Can you build a house on agricultural land?
In short — no, not without converting it first. Most land in India is originally recorded for agriculture. To put up a legal residential building, it must be converted to NA. A house built on land that isn't NA runs into trouble getting loans, electricity and water connections, and approvals.
The NA conversion process — key steps
- Verify the land documents (7/12, mutation, title).
- Prepare a land survey and measurement plan.
- Apply to the relevant office (Collector / town planning).
- Check zone and reservations.
- Obtain the NA order and sanad.
The role of the survey
An NA application and layout sanction both need an accurate measurement plan that shows the plot's exact boundaries, area and corners. We provide:
- Boundary & measurement survey (Total Station / DGPS)
- CAD layout with an area statement
- Approval-ready drawings in your format
Before you buy, remember
- Ask for the NA order / sanad to confirm the plot is genuinely NA.
- Confirm the on-paper area actually exists on the ground — get a jaga mojni.
- Check the zone (residential / green / yellow belt).
