The aim of this paper is to find proper conformal vector fields of some Bianchi type II spacetimes in the f[Formula: see text](R[Formula: see text]) theory of gravity using direct integration technique. In this study, seven cases have been discussed. Studying each case in detail, it is shown that the spacetimes under consideration do not admit proper conformal vector fields. Conformal vector fields are either homothetic vector fields or Killing vector fields.

In this paper, we present a complete classification of Bianchi type II spacetime according to Ricci inheritance collineations (RICs). The RICs are classified considering cases when the Ricci tensor is both degenerate as well as non-degenerate. In case of non-degenerate Ricci tensor, it is found that Bianchi type II spacetime admits 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-dimensional Lie algebra of RICs. In the case when the Ricci tensor is degenerate, majority cases give rise to infinitely many RICs, while remaining cases admit finite RICs given by 4, 5 or 6.
