Maharashtra Cancels NA Land Condition: Big Reform, But Implementation is Key

• Revenue and Forest Department cancelled Non-Agricultural (NA) permission, certificate, and assessment via a GR on Feb 10, 2026.
• Aims to reduce paperwork, dual permissions, and dual taxation for land transactions and construction processes.
• Exemption applies only to lands eligible for construction permission from planning authorities, simplifying the approval process.
• Eliminates dual tax burden; a one-time conversion premium based on Ready Reckoner rates will be paid.
• Experts warn that despite good intentions, implementation faces challenges like 'rent-seeking' and administrative hurdles, calling for comprehensive reforms.
