Buying in Arunachal Pradesh? The land-holding system restricts who may own — read the class before the deed.

The records here

Your documents are in English or the local languages. The engine reads the record in its own language.

Where records exist — land-holding documents, patta records, customary papers, deeds — the check reads them; where the land is held under customary tenure, the report says so plainly.

What the record won't tell you.

Whether the land is tribal land that cannot pass to a non-tribal or non-resident without the prescribed approval, and whether the customary authorities recognised the transfer. Registration records a transaction; it does not prove ownership.

If a document is missing, your Preliminary Title Scrutiny Report names it, names the check it unlocks, and names the office or authority holding it — the Sub-Registrar's office where a deed exists, the district administration where land-holding approval is given.

Title check in Arunachal Pradesh: who keeps the record, and what to verify

Arunachal Pradesh is almost entirely customary land: village and clan tenure administered through the traditional kebang and council systems, with formal survey settlement only in notified pockets — so a Land Possession Certificate, not a record of rights, is usually the written evidence of holding.

Who administers what

Department of Land Management: The Land Possession Certificate and the formal records that exist.
Deputy Commissioners: Land administration in the districts.
Kebang and village councils: The customary tenure that governs most land.
Sub-Registrar, Inspector General of Registration: Registration of deeds.
Itanagar and other municipal bodies: Urban holdings and permissions.

The records your report reads

Land Possession Certificate (LPC): The state's certificate of possession — the principal written evidence of holding.
Customary tenure records: The village or clan record of who holds the land.
Registered sale deeds: The instruments that evidence transfers.
Survey records: The limited cadastral record, mostly in notified areas.
Mutation records: Changes of holder where a formal record is kept.
Encumbrance certificate: The Sub-Registrar's index of registered transactions.

Registration and stamp duty

Deeds are registered under the Registration Act, 1908, with stamp duty under the Stamp Act in force in Arunachal Pradesh. Customary tenure under the state's framework sits alongside the deed — a registered sale over land the community never released does not settle title.

Encumbrance searches

The registration index shows the deeds and the LPC shows the state's recognition of possession. The decisive layer is the customary record — whether the kebang or council recognises the seller's holding and consented to the transfer.

What a title check should verify in Arunachal Pradesh

Does a Land Possession Certificate cover the plot, and does it name the seller?
Is the land under customary tenure, where the kebang or village council's consent decides whether the transfer stands?
Is the buyer eligible to hold the land under the state's framework and any Inner Line or community conditions?
Does the deed chain run unbroken where no record of rights exists?
Do the survey or site records and the deed describe the same plot?
For Itanagar and municipal areas, does the urban record match the holding record?

Portal names and office structures change, and the law is applied to the facts of each property. Your report cites what your own documents and the records show, and names the office holding anything that is missing. It is an AI title analysis, not a legal opinion.

FAQ — Arunachal Pradesh

I'm buying land in Arunachal Pradesh and I don't live there. Can I?

The state's land-holding framework restricts acquisition of tribal land by non-tribals and non-residents, with approval required in the prescribed cases. The check reads the land class and the chain; the report tells you what applies to this property.

The seller has a patta-style document. Is that a title?

A land-holding or patta document records the holding under the applicable system — it does not by itself evidence a freely saleable title, especially where customary or protective rules apply. The check reads the papers and the rules; the report states what the record supports.

It's the property check where you see everything it checked.
