DC Conversion is a legal process to convert agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes in Karnataka. The converted non-agricultural land can be used for residential or commercial or industrial purposes. DC conversion means the District Commissioner authorises the usage of land for non-agricultural purposes. To use the land for non-agricultural purposes, the landowner must apply for DC conversion under Section 95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The owner can obtain an A Khata Certificate if the land is DC Converted. 

If the landowner fails to obtain the DC conversion for agricultural land, he would be penalised, and any construction done will be demolished by the concerned authorities. It would be difficult to obtain loans and get building licences. Any construction of residential apartments on agricultural land is considered illegal and hence it is important to obtain a DC conversion certificate before construction.

Documents required for land conversion : To get the land converted for the non-agricultural purpose, the landowner should provide an application to the District Commissioner of the district in which the land lies. Form 1 is the prescribed form used for Tenanted land and Form no 21 A is used for Patta land.
