Buying in Chhattisgarh? Your khasra B-1 shows the record — forest and tribal-land rules decide what can be sold.

The records here

Your documents are in Hindi. The engine reads Hindi.

Your khasra (B-1), sale deeds and the land-class papers — read in their own language, with no translation step and no document set aside because of its script. The state's Bhulekh portal shows the entries; the deeds behind them are what the check reads.

What the record won't tell you.

Whether the plot was ever forest land — and therefore governed by the Forest Rights Act claims process rather than a simple sale — and whether it lies in a scheduled area where transfer of tribal land to a non-tribal requires approval, is not visible in a B-1 entry. 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 holding it — the Sub-Registrar's office for deeds, the Patwari's circle for khasra records, the forest department where land class is in question.

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

Chhattisgarh's defining restriction is statutory: in the scheduled areas, land held by a member of a Scheduled Tribe cannot be transferred to a non-tribal without the Collector's permission — and a deed that ignores it transfers nothing. Elsewhere the usual khasra-khatauni and mutation trail applies.

Who administers what

Revenue and Disaster Management Department (Tehsildar, Patwari): Khasra, khatauni and mutation through the Bhuiyan portal.
Commissioner of Land Records: Settlement records and maps.
Sub-Registrar, Inspector General of Registration and Stamps: Registration of deeds.
Development authorities and municipal bodies: Planned layouts, diversion and building permission.
Town and Country Planning: Layout sanction and land use.
Chhattisgarh RERA: Registered projects and promoters.

The records your report reads

Khasra: The field-wise record — plot number, area and holder.
Khatauni: The record of rights by khata — holder, share and plots.
Mutation (namantaran) order: The revenue order changing the record after a transfer.
Diversion order: The Collector's conversion of agricultural land to other use.
Scheduled-area status: Whether the plot lies in a scheduled area where tribal land transfer is restricted.
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 Indian Stamp Act as it applies in Chhattisgarh. A registered deed does not by itself change the khatauni; the mutation order does.

Encumbrance searches

The registration index shows executed deeds and the Bhuiyan record shows the present holder and mutation trail. The decisive check in scheduled areas is the record's account of who held the land and whether each transfer had the permission the law required.

What a title check should verify in Chhattisgarh

Do the khasra and khatauni show the seller for the plots in the deed, with a mutation order for each transfer?
Is the land in a scheduled area and held by a Scheduled Tribe holder — where sale to a non-tribal needs the Collector's permission?
Where the chain passes through such a transfer, does the record show the permission?
Where the land is built on now, is there a diversion order?
Does the deed value meet the guideline rate for that area?
Is the plot on a sanctioned layout or a regularised colony?

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 — Chhattisgarh

The khasra says the land is agricultural but it was forest before. Does that matter?

It can. Forest land has its own claims process under the Forest Rights Act; a sale deed over land that is forest on the record may not convey what it appears to. The check reads the land class and the chain; the report tells you what applies to this plot.

The seller is tribal and the land is in a scheduled area.

Transfer of tribal land to a non-tribal in a scheduled area requires the competent authority's approval; without it the deed is vulnerable whatever the khasra shows. The check reads the tenancy class and the chain; the report shows you where it holds and where it doesn't.

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