If the land was confirmed by occupancy right in the Land Tribunals As per Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1976, Deputy Commissioner is the authority to issue conversion order. For other lands i.e. Patta lands, Tahsildar is the authority to issue conversion order.

Application should be in prescribed Form-I for Land Reforms tenanted Lands and Form No.21A for Patta lands and it should be submitted to the Tahasildar concerned.

Tahasildar/Revenue Inspectors will visit the spot and confirm whether proper approach road is available to the land and also verify the Land Tribunal’s Original records and other documents submitted by the applicant. In case of patta lands, conversion order will be issued by the Tahsiladar. In case of LRT lands, report will be sent to the DC office. Again the verification will be done at each stage in Deputy Commissioner’s office as per rules. On successful verification, the land conversion application will be approved and the notice will be issued to the party to remit the conversion fees and other fees, if any, to the Government. The party has to remit the conversion fees and submit the original challan receipt and an agreement made in Rs.100/- stamp paper in the prescribed format to the office, following which the conversion order will be issued to the party.
