<h1>Maharashtra to amend Land Revenue Code, easing industrial land use rules and extending leasehold conversion deadline by one year.</h1> The Maharashtra government plans to amend the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code to eliminate the need for non-agricultural permission for industrial land use, as part of the Ease of Doing Business initiative. This change aims to simplify procedures and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for businesses. Until the legal amendments are finalized, industrial land users must obtain development permission from the relevant authority and register it with local revenue officers. Additionally, the deadline for converting Class 2 leasehold land to Class 1 freehold has been extended by one year, allowing landowners more time to complete formalities.
