Buying in Punjab? Your jamabandi shows the record — the deeds behind it are what the check reads.

The records here

Your documents are in Punjabi. The engine reads Punjabi.

Your jamabandi, fard, sale deeds and power-of-attorney instruments — read in their own language, with no translation step and no document set aside because of its script.

What the record won't tell you.

A jamabandi entry is a revenue position, not a proof of ownership. A pending mutation tells you a change is coming, not whether it is valid. Agricultural land may carry tenancy rights that survive a sale, and unregistered family partitions routinely sit beneath a clean record. 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 circle for jamabandi and mutation records.

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

In Punjab the jamabandi is the spine of ownership: the four-yearly record of rights says who holds the land, while the mutation register records every change in between. Village habitation land inside the lal lakir is bought and sold differently from agricultural land, and a large share of sales run through NRI sellers.

Who administers what

Revenue Department (Tehsildar, Kanungo, Patwari): Jamabandi, khasra girdawari and mutation through the jamabandi portal.
Punjab Land Records Society: Fard (certified record copies) through its seva kendras.
Sub-Registrar and Inspector General of Registration: Registration of deeds.
PUDA, GLADA and other development authorities: Planned colonies, allotment letters and regularisation.
Municipal corporations and councils: Property tax and urban records.
Punjab RERA: Registered projects and promoters.

The records your report reads

Jamabandi: The record of rights, rewritten every four years — owner, khewat and khasra numbers, area, share and mortgage entries.
Mutation (intkal) register: Each change of holder between jamabandis, with the entry number the deed should match.
Khasra girdawari: The half-yearly field record of possession and crop.
Fard: The certified copy of the revenue record a buyer is handed.
Shajra / aks: The field map of the village, showing each khasra's shape.
Lal lakir record: The boundary of the village habitation land, inside which sales follow a different pattern.

Registration and stamp duty

Deeds are registered under the Registration Act, 1908, with stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act as it applies in Punjab, charged on the higher of the consideration and the collector rate. A registered deed does not by itself change the jamabandi; the mutation entry does.

Encumbrance searches

Punjab's search reads the registration index for executed deeds and the jamabandi plus mutation register for who holds the land now. Mortgage and attachment entries in the jamabandi matter as much as the deeds, and certified fards through the PLRS kendras are what the record actually says.

What a title check should verify in Punjab

Does the current jamabandi show the seller, and does the mutation register show an entry for every transfer in the chain?
Is the land inside the village lal lakir, where sales rest on possession and revenue entries rather than registered deeds?
Are there mortgage, charge or attachment entries in the jamabandi that a clean deed would not reveal?
Where the seller is an NRI, is the power of attorney recent, specific and attested?
Does the shajra confirm the deed's boundaries and the khasra numbers cited?
In an authority colony or a regularised colony, is the plot on the sanctioned plan or in an unapproved extension?

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 — Punjab

The fard shows a mutation pending in the seller's name. Can we close anyway?

Closing before the mutation is recorded means buying against the record — the very gap this check exists to find. Upload the pending-mutation papers and the deeds; the report shows you what the chain supports and what the mutation would need to cure.

The land was divided among brothers years ago, without a registered deed.

That is exactly the pattern that breaks Punjab chains. Upload whatever exists — the partition arrangement, the parent deed, the jamabandi history — and the report will show you where the chain holds and where it doesn't.

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