What is NA Order in Madhya Pradesh?

Definition

NA Order is the formal sanction issued by the District Collector or SDM under Section 59 of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, permitting conversion of agricultural land to a non-agricultural purpose. The order is governed by the 2011 Amendment Act and the 2014 diversion rules.

Land in MP defaults to agricultural classification. Even if you buy a plot near a city, even if the area looks like a township, the revenue record still treats it as farmland until a NA Order changes it. Build a house on unconverted land and you face penalty assessment, demolition risk, and a cloudy title that no bank will touch. The MP Land Revenue Code states this clearly. No construction without diversion. The order is what shifts the use entry on your Khasra from agricultural to residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed.

The non-agricultural conversion Madhya Pradesh process is also called Vyapavartan. The Collector assesses market value, calculates a premium based on the new use, and issues the order against payment. Areas covered by an approved master plan can apply online through the district collectorate portal. Other areas still need an offline file at the Collector office. Once the premium hits the treasury and the order issues, you receive a fee receipt that itself functions as the certificate of conversion. That receipt is what you submit to the municipal body for the building permit.

State-specific note: The 2015 Ordinance gives new buyers 90 days to intimate the District Collector in writing about their conversion intent. You then have one year to complete diversion and three years to start the proposed use. Miss any window and penalties bite.

How to Get NA Order in Madhya Pradesh: Step-by-Step

You can file the application online for master-plan areas through the district collectorate diversion portal, or offline at the Collector or SDM office. Keep the sale deed, latest Khasra, B1, ID proof, and a site plan ready before you start.

What Does NA Order Contain in Madhya Pradesh?

Each line of the diversion order tells you something the building inspector and bank loan officer will check.

Field	What it means	What to check
Order Number and Date	Unique Collector or SDM case ID	Must be present and verifiable in the collectorate record
Khasra Number	Plot under conversion	Must match sale deed and B1
Bhumiswami Name	Current registered landholder	Must match the seller's ID and sale deed
Original Use	Pre-diversion classification (agricultural)	Must match B1 and Girdawari entries
New Use Permitted	Residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed	Must match your intended construction
Area Diverted	Extent in hectares converted	Must match the proposed building footprint
Premium Paid	Conversion fee deposited	Must be supported by the treasury receipt
Conditions and Time Limits	Commencement window and use restrictions	Must be respected to avoid lapse of order

Good sign: A clean NA Order shows the correct Khasra, matching Bhumiswami name, the exact new use you applied for, premium paid in full, and a valid time limit for commencement under the 2014 diversion rules.

Common Issues With NA Order in Madhya Pradesh

Each line of the diversion order tells you something the building inspector and bank loan officer will check.

90-day intimation missed

The new buyer fails to inform the District Collector within 90 days of acquisition about diversion intent.

Fix: File the intimation immediately even if late, attach a written explanation, and pay any prescribed penalty before the file moves to assessment.

Construction started without diversion

The owner builds on agricultural land without an NA Order. Penalty assessment, demolition orders, and bank loan rejection follow.

Fix: Stop work immediately. Apply for regularisation through the Collector. Pay back-dated premium and penalty. Build only after the order issues.

Land falls outside master plan

The plot is outside any approved master plan area. The online route is unavailable.

Fix: File offline at the Collector or SDM office with a complete document set. Expect a longer timeline and a possible Town and Country Planning concurrence.

Diversion not commenced within deadline

The owner gets the NA Order but does not commence the proposed use within three years. The order can lapse, voiding the conversion.

Fix: Apply for an extension before the deadline expires. Document the reason for delay. If lapsed, reapply from scratch with fresh premium.

Wrong intended use selected

Owner applies for residential conversion, then tries to build commercial. The NA Order does not cover the new use.

Fix: File a fresh application for change of non-agricultural use under Section 59A. Pay the differential premium before changing the construction plan.

Mismatch between order and revenue record

The NA Order issues but the B1 and Khasra still show the land as agricultural due to mutation lag.

Fix: File a written request at the Tehsildar's office to push the mutation update, then pull a fresh B1 from MP Bhulekh before any onward sale.

Why NA Order Matters for Land Buyers in Madhya Pradesh

This single order decides whether your construction is legal or illegal.

📋

Confirms legal change of land use The NA Order is the only document that legally changes the use entry from agricultural to non-agricultural

Without it, every subsequent permission, mutation, and building approval is built on quicksand.

⚠

Mandatory before construction The warning is unconditional

No building permit, no completion certificate, no occupancy certificate issues for a structure on unconverted agricultural land. Banks will not lend on it. Buyers will refuse it.

🏦

Banks need it for construction loans Every PSU and private bank in MP demands a certified NA Order along with the sale deed and Bhu Abhilekh before sanctioning any construction loan or builder finance against the property

🔍

Madhya Pradesh-specific: 90-day buyer rule and 2014 premium structure The 2015 Ceiling Ordinance gives buyers a 90-day intimation window

The 2014 diversion rules set the premium structure based on use and market value. Both deadlines and premium slabs are unique to MP.

Red flag: If the seller markets agricultural land as a "ready-to-build plot," promises diversion will happen later, or refuses to share existing NA Order paperwork, walk away. Honest sellers in MP either complete diversion themselves or price the premium into the deal.

What is the 90-day rule for new buyers in MP?

The 2015 Ceiling Ordinance requires a buyer to inform the District Collector in writing within 90 days of acquisition of the intent to convert the land for non-agricultural purposes. Missing this attracts penalty assessment.

How long does NA conversion take in MP?

Clean, undisputed cases under the master plan route typically clear within 30 to 90 days. Offline files in non-planning areas take longer because they require site inspection, planning concurrence, and physical premium deposit.

How much is the NA conversion fee in Madhya Pradesh?

The premium is calculated under the 2014 diversion rules based on guideline value, intended use, and area. Residential dwelling houses under 100 square metres in non-urban areas are exempt.
