The records here

The engine reads every instrument in the chain — English, Hindi, Urdu.

Sale deeds, GPA instruments, agreements to sell, wills, relinquishment deeds — including the unregistered instruments behind older transfers, which is where NCR chains hide their history.

What DORIS won't tell you.

The portal shows registered transactions. It does not adjudicate a GPA-era chain or tell you whether a property in an unauthorised or regularised colony was ever validly conveyed.

If a document is missing, your preliminary report names it, names the check it unlocks, and names the office holding it — the Sub-Registrar's office for certified copies, the MCD or DDA for the records they hold.

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

Delhi NCR spans three legal systems: Delhi, Haryana (Gurugram, Faridabad) and Uttar Pradesh (Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad). Its title histories often run through leasehold plots, power-of-attorney sales and unauthorised colonies rather than a village revenue record, so the chain of deeds matters more than any single extract.

Who administers what

Delhi Development Authority and Land & Development Office: Lessors of much of Delhi's plotted and flatted land: leasehold, freehold conversion and transfer permissions.
MCD and NDMC: Building plans, property tax and the municipal record of ownership.
Delhi Revenue Department and Sub-Registrars: Registration, and revenue records (khasra, khatauni, jamabandi) for village-origin land.
Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway authorities (Uttar Pradesh): Allotment and lease of plots and flats in their areas.
GMDA, HSVP and DTCP (Haryana): Sectors and licensed colonies in Gurugram and Faridabad.
RERA (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana each have their own): Registered projects and promoters.

The records your report reads

Registered sale deed chain: Every registered transfer, back to the deed that first created the plot or flat.
Perpetual lease or conveyance deed: The DDA or L&DO document showing whether the plot is leasehold or freehold.
Freehold conversion or transfer permission: Proof that a leasehold plot was converted, or that permission to sell was obtained.
Khasra, khatauni and jamabandi: Revenue records for village-origin land, including urban villages and Lal Dora areas.
Authority allotment letter, lease deed and dues clearance: The paper trail for Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram authority plots.
Sanctioned building plan and completion certificate: Proof that what stands on the land was lawfully built.

Registration and stamp duty

Deeds are registered under the Registration Act, 1908 at the Sub-Registrar covering the property. Stamp duty in Delhi is levied under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as it applies to Delhi, generally on the higher of the circle-rate value and the consideration, while Haryana and Uttar Pradesh apply their own amendments. Since Suraj Lamp & Industries v. State of Haryana (Supreme Court, 2011), a general power of attorney, agreement to sell and will together do not transfer ownership of immovable property; a registered deed does.

Encumbrance searches

Encumbrance searches are made at the Sub-Registrar's office for the registration district. Delhi's registrations are indexed on the Delhi Online Registration Information System (DORIS), and the Haryana and Uttar Pradesh registration departments run their own online searches. Because many NCR properties have changed hands by unregistered documents, a search shows only part of the story.

What a title check should verify in Delhi NCR

Is the plot leasehold (DDA or L&DO) or freehold, and was any conversion or transfer permission properly obtained?
Was any link in the chain a power of attorney, agreement to sell, receipt or will without a registered deed behind it?
Is the property in an authorised colony, an unauthorised colony, an urban village or a Lal Dora area, and what does that mean for building approval and bank finance?
For an authority allotment in Noida, Greater Noida or Gurugram: are dues cleared, and are the lease deed and transfer permission in order?
For an apartment: does the builder hold title to the land, is the project registered with RERA, and is there a completion or occupancy certificate?
Has the seller's name been mutated in the municipal record, and is the property tax paid up?

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 — DELHI NCR

The chain includes a GPA transfer from the 2000s. Is the property untouchable?

Not automatically — many GPA-era chains were later regularised with registered conveyance deeds, and some weren't. The difference is entirely in the documents. Upload everything in the chain; the report shows you where the gap sits and what would cure it.

The property is in a regularised colony.

Regularisation changes the colony's status, not automatically every title inside it. The chain still has to be traced — and the check reads it the same way it reads any other.

The seller has a registered sale deed. Isn't the GPA history settled?

The current deed is one link. If the chain behind it moved through an unregistered GPA, the defect travels with it until it's cured — which is why the check reads the whole chain, not the latest page.

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