Mumbai: The revenue department is likely to amend the legal provisions to do away with nonagricultural (NA) taxes levied while converting agricultural land into commercial and residential units. The state cabinet decision was taken last year under the Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government.

However, it has been facing implementation delays owing to legal issues. The NA tax is levied by municipal bodies on properties situated in their areas, commercial or residential.
