Buying in Mizoram? Land tenure is customary and district-led — the record looks nothing like the rest of India's.

The records here

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

Where records exist — district council allotments, New Land Use Policy (NLUP) papers, house-site documents, deeds — the check reads them; where the land is held under customary rules, the report says so plainly.

What the record won't tell you.

Whether the plot is agricultural land whose sub-lease is restricted, whether council consent was given for the transfer, and whether the allotment papers support the seller's claim — none of that is visible in a deed alone. 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 council where tenure is administered.

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

In Mizoram title runs on the Land Settlement Certificate and patta pass issued under the state's land revenue law, over a base of customary tenure administered through village councils — and land movement to outsiders is constrained by the state's own framework.

Who administers what

Land Revenue and Settlement Department: The Land Settlement Certificate, patta and mutation.
District administrations (Deputy Commissioners): Land administration in the districts.
Sub-Registrar, Inspector General of Registration: Registration of deeds.
Village councils: Customary tenure and village-level land administration.
Aizawl Municipal Corporation and municipal bodies: Urban holdings and permissions.
Autonomous district councils (Lai, Mara, Chakma): Land administration inside the council areas.

The records your report reads

Land Settlement Certificate (LSC): The state's settlement of land on the holder — the principal title record.
Patta / pass: The title document issued under the land revenue law.
Mutation records: Changes of holder in the settlement record.
Village council records: The customary tenure record beneath the formal one.
Survey maps: The cadastral record of the plot.
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 Mizoram. A registered deed does not by itself change the settlement record; the mutation does — and a transfer to an ineligible holder does not stand.

Encumbrance searches

The registration index shows executed deeds; the settlement record shows the holder; and the village council record shows the customary tenure beneath. Inside the autonomous council areas the council's own administration applies.

What a title check should verify in Mizoram

Does the Land Settlement Certificate or patta show the seller for the plot in the deed, with mutation after each transfer?
Is the land under customary tenure, where the village council's record decides who holds it?
Is the land inside an autonomous council area with its own land administration?
Is the buyer eligible to hold the land under the state's framework?
Do the survey map and the deed describe the same plot and area?
For Aizawl and municipal areas, does the urban record match the settlement record?

FAQ — Mizoram

The seller has a house-site document from the council. Is that a title?

A council allotment or house-site document records the allotment, not a freely saleable title. The transfer rules that apply to it decide whether the sale holds. The check reads the allotment papers and the rules; the report states what the record supports.

Can I buy agricultural land in Mizoram?

Agricultural land in Mizoram is governed by customary rules that restrict sub-leasing and transfer to non-residents. The check reads the land class and the chain; the report tells you what applies to this property.

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