Data bank is the list of paddy lands and wetlands prepared as per paddy and wet land act 2008 in each village and website of LSG in order to protect paddy and wet land . If land is included in the list by mistake it has to be rectified and land has to be regularised. . The register containing details of all types of land ( Basic Tax Register or BTR ) in a village is maintained in a village office. The Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act was enacted on August 12, 2008, to protect fields and wetlands . Accordingly the list of all types of Wetland and Paddy land known as Data Bank has been published. How ever, the law permits restricted conversion or “tharam mattom” of Nilam land to purayidom and subsequent changes in the BTR. Is my land eligible for tharam mattom? 1. If the land is mentioned as Nilam in the BTR and not included in the Data Bank but physically converted as purayidom before 12/08/2008 there is provision to regularize the land by remitting prescribed fee. After regularization by the Revenue Divisional officer, the category of land mentioned in the BTR will be changed to Purayidom. 2. If the land is mentioned as Nilam in the BTR , included in the Data Bank and physically appeared as Nilam/wetland tharam mattom is not allowed but there is provision to permit the land for conversion of 10 cents in Panchayath area and 5 cents in municipal area for construction of house if the applicant has no other house sites. This facility is not available for those who purchased land before 12/08/2008. 3. If the land is mentioned as Nilam in the BTR and not included in the Data Bank but physically converted as Purayidom before 04/07/1967 there is provision to regularize the land by remitting fee at concessional rate . Also there is possibility for free conversion as per KLU order. How can I apply for Land conversion? Normally there are two processes. If your land is wrongly notified in the data bank it has to be de notified. So check the status of your land in the data bank and apply for de notification of the land if it is included. After de notification, you can apply for regularization. If your land is not included in the data bank, you can directly apply for regularization ( Tharam mattom ). You can apply online and there are several performa for each type of application
