First you have to convert the land to non-agricultural land and a non-agriculture order has to be obtained from the collector of the district where the property is situated. Along with this, you need to take the latest receipts evidencing the payment of non-agriculture tax. In cases where the conversion from agricultural use to non agriculture use is not done within the given time frame, there should be an order from the authority concerned extending the period.

The case is dependent on many variables. Therefore it is difficult form an opinion without going through the contract document and a number of other inputs. It is advised to consult a property lawyer with all the relevant documents.
