Before You Agree
1
Verify Identity of All Parties
Ask for original Aadhaar card and PAN card. Cross-check name spelling across all documents. Use the Person Verify tab to search their name in FIR and social records.
Use Person Verify tab2
Check RERA Registration
For any new project, verify the builder and project are listed on your state's RERA portal. Verify the agent's RERA registration number before engaging them.
Use Property & RERA tab3
Obtain Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
Request an EC for at least 15–30 years from the Sub-Registrar's office. This confirms no mortgages, liens, or disputes exist on the property.
Critical step — do not skip4
Verify Land Records (Bhulekh / 7-12)
Cross-check ownership details on the state Bhulekh / land record portal. Confirm the seller's name exactly matches the records.

Verify Property Tax Receipts
Confirm property tax is paid up to date and in the seller's name. Outstanding dues get transferred to the new owner upon purchase.

RERA
Real Estate Regulatory Authority — a government body that registers builders, agents, and projects. It protects buyers from fraud, delays, and misrepresentation and provides a grievance forum.
Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
A document showing all registered transactions on a property — mortgages, liens, and previous sales. A clean EC confirms the property is free from financial liabilities.
Sale Deed
The primary legal document that transfers ownership of property from seller to buyer. It must be signed by both parties, stamped with correct stamp duty, and registered at the Sub-Registrar's office.
Khata Certificate
A municipal record confirming ownership and property details for tax purposes. Required for obtaining utility connections, building approvals, and property loans.
Occupancy Certificate (OC)
Issued by local authorities confirming a building complies with approved plans and safety standards. Without OC, a building is technically illegal to occupy and cannot be sold/mortgaged easily.
Mutation / Dakhil Kharij
The process of updating land and property records in the government's books to reflect a new owner's name after a sale or inheritance. Must be done within 3 months of registration.
Title Search
A thorough legal examination of a property's historical ownership records to confirm the seller's right to sell and identify any hidden claims, disputes, or encumbrances.
Power of Attorney (PoA)
A legal document authorising a person to act on behalf of a property owner. Must be notarised and registered. Frequently misused for fraud — always verify the grantor's identity independently.
Stamp Duty
A state tax levied on property transactions, typically 4–7% of market value. Underpaying stamp duty makes a sale deed legally weak and unenforceable.
FIR (First Information Report)
A written document filed with police recording the first complaint about a crime. Searching an owner's or agent's name helps uncover past fraud, cheating, or property-related criminal cases.
7/12 Extract (Satbara)
A Maharashtra land record showing ownership, cultivation rights, and liabilities on land. Essential for rural and agricultural property deals to confirm ownership and survey details.
Completion Certificate
Issued by the local planning authority confirming a building is constructed as per the approved building plan. Often used interchangeably with Occupancy Certificate but is a distinct document.
Agreement for Sale
A preliminary contract between buyer and seller before the final Sale Deed. It outlines price, possession date, and terms. Registering it protects the buyer's rights even before the final sale deed.
NOC (No Objection Certificate)
Issued by housing societies, banks, or municipal bodies confirming they have no objections to a property transaction. Required from society and any existing lender before sale.
