When your village enters a master plan areaजब आपका गाँव मास्टर प्लान में आ जाए
A village can be farmland one year and inside a development authority's area the next, without anything changing on the ground. What changes is who decides what may be built there, and what you have to do before you build it.
What actually changes
Inside a development authority area, agricultural land does not automatically become buildable. It becomes land that can be converted, through that authority rather than through the revenue department alone. Three things follow.
90-A — conversion for a layout
Section 90-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act is the route by which agricultural land inside an urban area is converted for residential, commercial or institutional use. It is an application to the authority, decided against the master plan's land-use for that pocket. Land use in the plan decides the answer — an application for residential use on a pocket zoned agricultural or green will not succeed because the land happens to be well located.
90-A वह रास्ता है जिससे शहरी क्षेत्र में कृषि भूमि आवासीय या व्यावसायिक उपयोग के लिए परिवर्तित होती है। जवाब मास्टर प्लान में तय भू-उपयोग से आता है, ज़मीन की जगह से नहीं।
90-B — regularising a layout that already exists
90-B deals with land already sub-divided or built on without approval. It is a regularisation route, not a conversion route, and it carries its own charges and conditions. A plot sold to you as "90-B done" and a plot sold as "90-A done" are not the same thing and do not carry the same history.
90-B पहले से हो चुके अनधिकृत विभाजन या निर्माण को नियमित करने का रास्ता है — परिवर्तन का नहीं। “90-B हो चुका है” और “90-A हो चुका है” एक बात नहीं है।
Who your patta comes from changes
Outside the authority area, a Nagar Palika or panchayat patta may be the relevant document. Inside it, the authority's approval governs a layout. This is why the patta type on a plot has to be read against the use being sold to you — see “Near by” is not an allotment.
What is actually published about Jaipur's next plan
JDA's own portal confirms a Master Development Plan 2047 is being prepared, for a projected population of 1.5 crore. The verifiable proposal is an extension of roughly 1,000 sq km, taking JDA's area from about 5,000 to 6,000 sq km and bringing in 272 villages from Jaipur Rural and Dudu — including 40 villages from the Dudu and Phagi tehsils — and extending beyond the municipal corporations for the first time to the Shahpura, Chaksu and Jobner municipalities.
You will also see a figure of 679 villages quoted. We could not verify it. The only source we found was a property blog, and we are not going to repeat a number about people's land because it appeared on a website.
How to check your own position
- Start with the tehsil, not the map. Ask at the Tehsil office whether your village falls inside the current JDA area, and under which notification. A notification has a number and a date; a map on a website does not.
- Ask JDA for the land use of your pocket, not just whether the village is included. Two fields in the same village can be zoned differently, and the zoning is what 90-A is decided against.
- Get it in writing. A verbal answer at a counter cannot be shown to a buyer, a bank or a court.
- Check the date on everything. A plan under preparation is not a plan in force, and a proposal reported in the press is neither.
- If a seller says conversion is "in process", ask which section, which application number, and which date. Those three things either exist or they do not.
