Buying in Uttarakhand? Your khatauni shows the record — permission rules decide who may buy.

The records here

Your documents are in Hindi. The engine reads Hindi.

Your khatauni, sale deeds and the older bhumidhar 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 land is agricultural land a non-agriculturist needs permission to buy under Section 154, whether the land is nautor land granted by the state, or whether it is forest-fringe land — none of that is visible in a khatauni 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 khatauni records, the District Magistrate's office for Section 154 permission.

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

Uttarakhand restricts outsiders from buying agricultural land: buyers who are not agriculturists of the state face the zamindari-abolition-era bar on acquiring agricultural land, and the rules have been amended and tightened more than once, so the buyer's eligibility is the first question on rural plots.

Who administers what

Revenue Department (Tehsildar, Patwari): Khatauni, khasra and mutation through the Bhulekh portal.
Consolidation Department: Consolidation records where consolidation has run.
Sub-Registrar, Inspector General of Registration: Registration of deeds.
Development authorities (MDDA and others) and municipal bodies: Planned layouts, allotment and urban records.
District Magistrate: Permissions on restricted land transfers.
Uttarakhand RERA: Registered projects and promoters.

The records your report reads

Khatauni: The record of rights — khata number, khatedar, khasra numbers, area and share.
Khasra: The plot-wise field record the deed should cite.
Mutation (dakhil kharij) entry: The revenue record's change of holder after a transfer.
Consolidation records: New plot numbers and boundaries where consolidation has run.
Bhu-naksha: The cadastral map 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 applicable in Uttarakhand, charged on the higher of the consideration and the circle rate. A registered deed does not by itself change the khatauni; the mutation entry does.

Encumbrance searches

The registration index shows the deeds and Bhulekh shows the holder and mutation trail. For rural land the eligibility layer — whether each buyer could hold agricultural land under the state rules in force at the time — is read alongside.

What a title check should verify in Uttarakhand

Does the khatauni show the seller for the same khasra numbers and area as the deed, with mutation after each transfer?
Is the land agricultural, and was every buyer in the chain eligible to hold it under the rules in force then?
Where consolidation has run, do the deeds and the khatauni use the new plot numbers?
Does the deed value meet the circle rate for that area?
In a development-authority layout, is the plot on the sanctioned plan?
For hill plots, do the deed's boundaries match the field map rather than an informal measurement?

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 — Uttarakhand

I don't live in the state. Can I buy agricultural land here?

Under Section 154 of the Uttarakhand Land Revenue Code, agricultural land requires the District Magistrate's permission to pass to a non-agriculturist or an outsider. Without it the sale may not stand. The check reads the land class and the chain; the report tells you what applies to this property.

The seller says the land was granted as nautor.

Nautor land is state-granted land with conditions attached — it is not the same as land held by ordinary title. The check reads the grant papers and the deeds; the report shows you what the record supports.

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