Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

commercial land subdivision and reclassification to residential

I have purchased a part of commercial land - vacant (around 1000 sq.ft out of the total allotted land of around 2500 sq.ft) in chennai.

My requirement is to construct a residential building in my portion (1000 sq.ft).

I have following 2 issues:

1. The land is not legally subdivided.

The complete land has been sold in 4 parts - 400 sq.ft (A), 400 sq.ft (B), 700 sq.ft (C) and 1000 sq.ft (D) (part D is the one I have purchased). And in part A and part B, residential buildings have been constructed and Part C is still vacant land.

Now, I need to know how to get the subdivision for this property.

2. The land is allocated for ''Commercial'' purpose by the housing board. I need to reclassify my portion of the land to ''residential''. What is the procedure for this.
