This query is : Resolved
I have 1400 sq feet leasehold plot , which was allotted to my grandfather in 1950 on Sindhi colony Amravati Maharashtra as he was displaced Person, shifted from Pakistan during partition
Now Maharashtra govt has issued GR on 15/5/25 to convert those plots to freehold
I am staying in 700 sq feet area with my family and remaining 700 sq feet area is occupied by my uncle and his family as my father and uncle got that property from their father as a will
I have got mutation done in my name for my 700 sq feet on property card 2 years back after my father, mother's death , being only legal heir , now my share of property is in my name and uncle's share of property is stillin my grandfather name , they have not changed the name in property cards, but is theirs
Now I have applied to collector for conversion to freehold for my 700 sq feet.
Land record office has sent positive report and SDO too has sent positive report 2-3 months back
Now collector office has issued a challan in my name for Rs 50000 being conversion charges etc , which I have paid
Is it ok ? Can I assume that my 700 sq feet area has been converted to freehold?
Formal Order has yet to come
Payment of challan means my application has been approved?
Please reply

You may wait for the orders passed by collector approving the conversion from leasehold to freehold or pursue the same to safeguard your interest.

Yes. You shall wait for the orders from the Collector and if they are delayed, you may remind the Collector to get the orders.
