Do not pay based on one record or portal result. Use exact property identifiers and compare the documents, physical site and approvals together.

DTCP and planning authority

Check whether the claimed layout or planning permission appears with the competent planning authority and whether the sanctioned plan covers the exact survey and plot.

Local-body approval

Use the municipal search where applicable and confirm building approval, licence, completion or other status directly with the competent local body.

TNRERA

Search the official project record when RERA applies. Compare promoter, project name, survey numbers, sanctioned plan, registration period and disclosed status.

What these records cannot establish

Planning approval or RERA registration does not prove the seller owns your exact property, that construction matches the plan, that title is dispute-free or that completion is guaranteed.

Site comparison

Have a qualified professional compare the sanctioned layout or building plan with boundaries, road width, setbacks, floors, use and actual construction.

Important limitation

This guide is general information. A specific property still requires independent review by a property advocate, licensed surveyor and the competent government authority.
