By Jaiprime Research Desk · Reviewed by Rishabh GargUpdated 90-A conversion is the permission, under Section 90-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956, to use agricultural land for a non-agricultural purpose such as housing, commerce or a farmhouse. In the Jaipur region it is processed through the Jaipur Development Authority. It usually takes weeks to a few months once a complete application is filed, and is not guaranteed.

In Rajasthan, land is agricultural until it is converted. A colony laid out on unconverted agricultural land has no legal standing as a residential layout, cannot normally get building approval, and is hard to finance. The 90-A order is the document that changes that.
Conversion is for a stated purpose: residential, commercial, industrial, institutional or others. A residential conversion does not allow a shop or resort.
Conversion charges (premium or urban assessment) are payable and vary with location and purpose.
Once a complete application is filed, decisions typically take from several weeks to a few months, depending on the authority, objections and site inspection. Delays are common when documents are incomplete.
“Conversion is in process” is not conversion. Price unconverted land as farmland.
Buying a plot in Jaipur, can I build a farmhouse on agricultural land? and what is khatedari land?
You can buy agricultural land, but you cannot legally build a house or commercial building on it until conversion is granted, and conversion is not guaranteed. Price it as agricultural land.
It is the conversion from agricultural to a non-agricultural use. Changing between non-agricultural uses (for example residential to commercial) is a separate process.
No. You still need an approved layout or building plan for the specific construction.
