"Varga" of land in Maharashtra ?

Varga means conversion. Under law land is primarily is a agricultural land . Agricultural means raising crops, tilling the land. When this land is being used for residential purpose , it is said to be used for non agriculture purpose.Under Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, land cannot converted (varga) in to non agriculture purpose without obtaining permission from Collector. ,

Anand,

I think there must be a remark on the 7/12 along with a number will be mentioned such as 32g. This refers to the fact that the said land cannot be transferred to anyone else without the permission of the Collector as per the clause for some reason e.g. the record holder may have obtained the agricultural land as per some statute such as kul kayda.
