Do you own an Eksonia Patta (Annual Lease) land in Assam? If yes, you must know that you do not have permanent ownership rights over it. You cannot sell it, transfer it, or take a bank loan against it. To get full legal rights, you must convert your Eksonia Patta into a Myadi Patta (Periodic Patta).

Here is a complete, step-by-step guide on how to apply for this conversion online through the Mission Basundhara portal, explaining the fees and documents needed.

Why should you convert Eksonia to Myadi?

An Eksonia Patta is a temporary land lease granted for just one year. Under the law:

  • You cannot sell or gift Eksonia land. Any sale deed made for Eksonia land is legally invalid.
  • Banks do not accept Eksonia Patta for granting loans.
  • The government can take back the land at the end of the year by giving a short notice, without any obligation to pay compensation.

Once converted to Myadi Patta, you get permanent lease rights (30 years, automatically renewed), can sell it freely, and take bank loans easily.

Eligibility for Conversion

You can convert your annual lease to a periodic lease if:

  • You are an indigenous citizen of Assam.
  • You have possessed and cultivated the land continuously for at least 3 to 10 years (depending on rural or town area rules).
  • There are no land disputes or encroachments on your plot.
