What is the objective behind Conversion Scheme ?
Originally Government land in Bhubaneswar is allotted to different individuals for a lease period of 90 years. By such lease, Government only grants possessor interest to the lessee where the right and title of the lease land remain with the Government. As such the lessee is required to come to the Government time and again to take permission for concurrence of building plan, mortgage, transfer and mutation of his leasehold residential plot. In order to free the lessees from these hassles, the Government decided to transfer the absolute right, title & interest over the leasehold residential plot allotted by the erstwhile P&S Department (now GA department). Hence the Conversion Scheme is introduced to convert the residential plots from leasehold land tenure to freehold land tenure.
