PMC’s Bharat Mandapam Plan in Lohgaon Raises Transparency Concern
Buying land in a village or rural area can be different from buying a flat in a city. To make sure your purchase is safe and legal, you need some important documents. These papers show that the land really belongs to the seller and that you can own it without problems later.
1. Sale Deed
This is the main document. It proves that the seller is giving the land to you. It must be signed by both buyer and seller and then registered at the local Sub-Registrar Office. Without this, the land does not legally belong to you.
2. Title Deed
This shows the history of ownership — who owned the land before, and that the seller really has the right to sell it. You should check this carefully to make sure there are no disputes or missing owners.
3. 7/12 Extract (for states like Maharashtra and Gujarat)
This document shows:
- The owner’s name
- Survey number
- Land area
- Land type (agriculture, dry, wet)
This helps confirm that the person selling the land is the true owner.
4. Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
An EC proves that the land is free from loans, mortgages, legal cases, or dues. It is usually checked for the past several years to make sure no one else has a claim.
5. Record of Rights / Property Records
In many rural areas, records like Adangal, Patta, or Record of Rights show how the land has been used and owned over time. These help you understand if the land is agricultural and if it can be used as you want.
6. Mutation / Khata Documents
After you buy the land, you need to update the local government records with your name — this is called mutation (sometimes called Khata). This makes sure tax bills and official records show that you are the owner.
7. Tax Receipts
Ask the seller to show all land tax bills paid for previous years. If taxes are not paid, you may have to pay them later.
8. No Objection Certificates (NOCs)
Sometimes, the local village or revenue office must give a “No Objection Certificate” showing they have no problem with the sale. This is extra protection for you.
9. Power of Attorney (If Applicable)
If the seller cannot be present in person to sign the sale deed, they may give someone else the right to sign on their behalf. This document must be registered too.
10. Zoning / Land Use Certificates
In some areas, land is meant only for farming or agricultural use. If you want to build a house or change land use, you may need a special certificate saying that the land can be used for your purpose.
Final Tips Before You Sign
✔ Always check if the seller really owns the land and has the right to sell it.
✔ Verify all documents carefully — ask a local expert or lawyer if unsure.
✔ Do not pay large amounts of money before the sale deed is registered.
