Lucknow. Verification of documents is very important for people planning to buy land in Uttar Pradesh. Making a land deal based only on the information given by the seller can cause problems later. Initial information about whether there is old registry, bank loan or any kind of government restriction on the land can now be obtained from mobile also.
For this, buyers can take help of IGRSUP portal. The facility to search property related records is available on the website of Uttar Pradesh Stamp and Registration Department. Here the information of old registered documents can be matched with the documents shown by the seller.
How to check online
After opening the official website of IGRSUP in mobile, go to Citizen Online Services and select the option of Property Search (e-Search). After this, related records can be searched on the basis of available information like name, registration number or Khasra etc. It is important to match the details recorded in the old deed and online records.
Also check the loan and restrictions
There may be a mortgage on the land from a bank or financial institution. Therefore, it is important to also check the information about encumbrances and Non-Encumbrance Certificate related to the property. Apart from this, also check whether the land is not included in the list of any government restricted property.
However, checking of online records should not be considered as the final truth. Before purchasing land, it is better to get the original documents, status of records and possible claims verified at the concerned office. In case of big transactions, future problems can be avoided by getting the documents examined by a qualified lawyer.
