Match every document to the exact property
Which document should you open next?
Parent deeds and title chain
- Shows how the claimed ownership moved through earlier documents.
- Check continuity, names, dates, schedules and unexplained gaps.
- Use an independent property advocate when the chain is unclear.
Encumbrance Certificate
- Lists registered transactions found for the chosen search period and property identity.
- Match the correct SRO, village, survey or document details and date range.
- An EC alone does not prove title, boundaries or unregistered claims.
Mortgage and release records
- A mortgage can create a lender or creditor interest connected to the property.
- Match the mortgage, discharge or release document to the same property and borrower.
- An EC entry or seller statement is not enough without the supporting registered records.
Patta, Chitta, A-Register and TSLR
- Revenue records help identify names, survey references, extent and classification.
- Use the record appropriate to rural or town-survey land.
- Compare it with the deed, FMB and current official extract.
Survey number and FMB sketch
- Survey and subdivision identity connects the deed to revenue and field records.
- Use FMB or town-survey material to understand recorded geometry and references.
- A licensed physical survey is still needed to confirm the site on the ground.
DTCP or planning approval
- Approval records should match the exact layout, plot or building claim.
- Check the issuing authority, approval number, plan and conditions.
- Do not rely on a brochure, signboard or copied approval alone.
TNRERA project record
- Applicable projects should be matched to the official project and promoter record.
- Check registration status, approved details and current disclosures.
- Do not treat a similarly named project as the same development.
Government land and poramboke check
- Land classification must be checked against the exact survey and subdivision.
- Compare revenue records, deed claims and official map or register context.
- A nearby private parcel does not establish the status of the subject land.
Guideline value record
- TNREGINET values depend on the exact street or survey record and classification.
- Check the current effective entry and the unit used by the source.
- Guideline value is not a market valuation or completed-sale price.
Registration document set
- Prepare the identity, title, tax, approval and transaction records relevant to the deed.
- Requirements vary with the property, parties and transaction structure.
- Confirm the current list with the registering authority before execution.
Property tax and utility records
- Receipts and account records help identify dues and service connections.
- Match the assessment or service identity to the exact property and owner claim.
- A paid bill does not by itself prove legal title.
Power of Attorney document
- The document must grant the authority needed for the proposed transaction.
- Check execution, registration, parties, property description and current validity.
- Verify revocation, death and scope risks with an appropriate professional.
Legal-heir and inherited-property records
- Inherited property needs a clear link from the deceased owner to every claimant.
- Review death, heirship, succession and later transfer records as applicable.
- Confirm that every required person has valid authority to transact.
KEEP THE CHECK CONNECTED
Use the record with the next property check
A single paper or portal result is not enough. Keep the owner, land, approval and payment checks connected.
