How to verify land records before buying a plot

Many states in India provide online land record portals to check ownership, survey numbers, and mutation data. Always use the official government portal (not third-party sites) and cross-verify online results with original physical documents. A mismatch between digital and government-held manual records is a red flag that needs resolution before purchase.

The process of land verification should never be taken lightly or done superficially. It is very important to carefully verify the ownership of the land, the approval of the land use, and other details to ascertain that the land you want to buy is clear and does not have any disputes before making a purchase. It is recommended that you consult a property lawyer to assist in the land verification process.
