DC conversion meaning
Lands that have been designated as agricultural cannot be used for residential, commercial or industrial uses unless they are converted into non-agricultural property first. This is termed land conversion or in other terms, DC Conversion.
DC conversion means the process of transforming agricultural land into non-agricultural land.
The DC name is imposed because the conversion is normally approved by the Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture. Since land conversion is within the authority of several state governments in India, the method for land conversion differs from one state to another.
Those who fail to secure the DC conversion for agricultural land will be fined, and any structures that have been built will be removed by the appropriate authorities. For any development of residential flats on agricultural property, it is necessary to secure a DC conversion certificate before beginning work on the project.
