Definition
Land in real estate refers to the surface of the earth, everything permanently attached to it (natural or man-made), and the rights to the airspace above and the minerals below. It is considered the most fundamental form of real property.
Use of Land in Real Estate
In India, land is classified as agricultural, non-agricultural, residential, commercial, or industrial under revenue records. Land use conversion (e.g., agricultural to residential) requires approval from the relevant authority and payment of conversion fees. In Karnataka, land conversion is governed by the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. Buyers should verify the land classification and ensure proper conversion before purchasing land for residential construction.
