Rajasthan notifies online rules for agricultural land conversion under Section 90A

Rajasthan has notified the Rajasthan Urban Area (Use of Agricultural Land for Non-Agricultural Purpose and Allotment) Rules, 2026. Under the new rules, applications for converting agricultural land for non-agricultural use under Section 90A can be made through a common online portal for urban local bodies across the state. Applicants can check whether land is eligible, calculate and pay the required premium, upload documents and track their applications.

Applicants may also seek approval of a layout plan at the same time, allowing the two processes to proceed in parallel. The rules provide that if the concerned officer does not take the required action within 30 days, the system will begin the mutation process. Some land remains ineligible for conversion, including forest land, water bodies, government land and land restricted by a court order.
