What is the NA Order?
An order issued by the Deputy Commissioner granting permission to convert agricultural land to non-agricultural use under the Karnataka Land Revenue Act.
Why you need this
Agricultural land cannot be used for residential or commercial construction without an NA Order. Constructing without one is illegal — the structure is liable to demolition.
What the NA Order contains
- Order number, date, and issuing Deputy Commissioner
- Survey numbers and extent approved for conversion
- Purpose: residential / commercial / industrial
- Conditions attached to the conversion
- Validity period of the conversion order
Step by step
How to get the NA Order online
- 1
Identify the survey number and village of the parcel from the RTC.
- 2
Check the RTC land classification column — converted land is flagged there, agricultural land is not.
- 3
Retrieve the conversion order referenced against the parcel from the Bhoomi conversion records.
- 4
Read the extent approved against the extent you are buying — partial conversions are common.
- 5
Check the conditions and validity clause. Conversions lapse if the stated use is not commenced in time.
The official portal is Bhoomi landrecords.karnataka.gov.in (Revenue Department, Government of Karnataka). We fetch from it on your behalf — you never need to register there.

What goes wrong
Common NA Order mistakes
Conversion is granted for a specific extent, not the whole survey number. Buying 2 guntas out of a 10-gunta conversion does not mean your 2 guntas are converted.
Conversion is granted for a stated purpose. A residential conversion does not permit commercial construction.
Most orders carry a commencement deadline. An order whose deadline lapsed without use can be treated as void.
Conversion fees and betterment charges are sometimes left unpaid. The liability follows the land, not the seller.
Land under a green belt, tank bund, or acquisition notification cannot be converted at all — no order will exist and none can be obtained.
Fix errors fast
NA Order troubleshooting guide
| Symptom on Bhoomi | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| RTC shows converted but you cannot find the order | Ask the seller for the order number and obtain it from the Bhoomi conversion records or the DC office. The RTC flag alone tells you nothing about scope. |
| Converted extent is smaller than the parcel | Partial conversion. Confirm the specific portion you are buying falls inside the converted extent. |
| Order exists but the purpose is wrong | Residential, commercial and industrial are separate permissions. A residential conversion does not authorise a commercial building. |
| Order is old and nothing was built | Check the commencement clause. A lapsed order may be void and need revalidation. |
| Conversion fees or betterment charges unpaid | The liability follows the land to you. Ask for the payment receipts, not an assurance. |
| Seller says conversion is in process | Check the land is capable of conversion at all — green belt, tank bed, gomala and notified land cannot be converted. |
Frequently asked questions
How do I get an NA order copy download for my survey number?
Digitised conversion orders are served from the Land Conversion portal (service99) and are searched by survey number, not by application number — so the result lists every NA order recorded against that survey, including other sub-divisions. Copies are available from roughly 2015 onward; a conversion granted before digitisation usually has no online copy and must be obtained from the Deputy Commissioner's office record room. If the survey holds no order at all, the land has not been converted.
How can I check my land conversion status online?
You can check the live status of your application on the Land Conversion portal using our <a href="/tools/na-conversion-status">NA Conversion Status Tool</a>. Simply enter your village and survey number to see if your request is pending, approved, or if the final order is ready.
How do I check NA conversion order status online in Karnataka?
Two checks. For a pending application, open the Bhoomi portal, go to the Land Conversion (affidavit-based conversion) section and use "View Status of Request" or the pendency report with your district, taluk and request or affidavit number — it shows which office the file is with and whether it has been disposed. For a conversion claimed to be complete, open "View RTC and MR", pull the RTC for the survey number and read the land classification column: it must show the non-agricultural purpose. An order PDF alone is not proof — if the RTC still reads agricultural, the conversion has not reached the revenue record.
What does "NA final order" mean?
The Deputy Commissioner first issues a conditional or provisional conversion order, subject to payment of conversion fees and compliance with conditions. Once the fee is paid and the conditions are met, the final order is issued and the change is mutated into the RTC. Until the final order exists and the RTC reflects it, the land is still agricultural in law.
Do I need an NA Order to build on agricultural land?
Yes. Agricultural land cannot be used for residential, commercial or industrial construction without an official Non-Agricultural conversion order from the Deputy Commissioner. Building without one is illegal and the structure is liable to demolition.
How do I know if land is already converted?
The land classification column on the RTC indicates converted status, and the conversion order number is referenced against the parcel. Always read the order itself — the RTC flag does not tell you the extent or the permitted purpose.
Can a conversion order expire?
Yes. Orders typically require the non-agricultural use to be commenced within a stated period. If that period lapsed without use, the conversion can be treated as void and must be revalidated.
