The rules and procedures for buying and selling land in India are becoming increasingly stringent and transparent. The government has updated the list of documents required for land registration to prevent fraud and provide legal protection to both buyers and sellers.
Now, land registration will be possible only if both parties are present with the necessary documents. PAN card and Aadhaar card have been made mandatory for registration to check tax evasion and fake identities. PAN card keeps a record of every transaction with the government, and Aadhaar card verifies the identity and address of the person. Passport-size photograph is also included in the documents required for registration to check any misrepresentation of identity.
In addition, it is also necessary to submit proof of revenue records including Khasra number, Khatauni and Bhu-map of the land. These documents show the authenticity and actual ownership of the land. A copy of the agreement between the seller and the buyer, payment receipts, bank statements, or cheques should also be provided to ensure complete transparency in the property transaction.
If there is any tax or loan due on the land, it is mandatory to provide a receipt or NOC certificate. This will save the buyer from any hassles later. Earlier, there was a long and complicated process of submitting documents and making an appointment at the tehsil or local government offices. Now, this process has gone digital. With the online system, all the tasks like preparing invoices, uploading documents, making appointments and checking records can be easily done online. This has saved both time and effort and has also curbed the activities of middlemen.
In several states, land registration has been facilitated through video calls, which has increased the confidence of buyers and reduced the chances of fraud. Biometric identification and strict document verification have now made it difficult to sell the same land repeatedly. These changes have made the process of buying and selling land more secure, faster and transparent. Both buyers and sellers can now access their documents and transact with complete confidence. The digital registry system will further strengthen India’s property market in the coming times.
