The statutory permission process for proposed non-agricultural development of wet or dry agricultural land in a Tamil Nadu non-planning area.
The Tamil Nadu Change of Land Use (From Agriculture to Non-agriculture Purposes in Non-planning Areas) Rules, 2017 govern permission for proposed non-agricultural development only in non-planning areas. They are not a universal conversion procedure for every parcel in Tamil Nadu; notified planning areas follow their applicable planning regime. G.O. Ms. No. 53, SRO A-6(b)/2025, amended the rules on 28 March 2025.
Amended Rule 3 requires an online application. For dry land, it expressly requires an online affidavit excluding poromboke, government, and other land not belonging to the applicant, a self-attested Chitta, and a self-attested Adangal for the latest three fasli years including the current year. Under amended Rule 4, the Director obtains the District Collector’s prior concurrence for wet land. For dry land, the Director obtains the district Joint Director of Agriculture’s NOC; the Joint Director has 30 days to provide it online, after which the portal auto-generates the NOC. The amendment deleted Rule 5.
After the Director’s prior concurrence, amended Rule 9 requires the local authority to collect 3% of the guideline value fixed under section 47-AA of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 plus a non-refundable scrutiny fee of ₹1,000 per plot, then grant permission. The conversion-charge exemption is limited to land acquired for Industrial Parks under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997 (Tamil Nadu Act 10 of 1999). The 2025 amendment states no end-to-end approval period; its 30-day clock applies only to the dry-land agriculture NOC.
