As the real estate market in Raipur continues to grow, it\u2019s essential to be well-informed and proactive when evaluating a potential property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we\u2019ll guide you through the key steps you need to take to ensure that the property you are eyeing is legally clear and free from any future legal hassles. Whether you\u2019re a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, understanding the legalities behind property transactions is essential for making a secure investment. So, let\u2019s dive into the most crucial aspects of verifying a property\u2019s legal status in Raipur and how you can proceed with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Verify the Title Deed<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The title deed is the foundational document that establishes the ownership of the property. Ensure that the seller has a clear and marketable title, free from disputes or encumbrances. It&#8217;s advisable to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtain a certified copy of the title deed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the property&#8217;s history for at least the past 30 years.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult a legal expert to scrutinize the document for any discrepancies.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2. Obtain the Encumbrance Certificate (EC)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Encumbrance Certificate is crucial to determine whether the property is free from any legal or monetary liabilities. This certificate provides a record of all registered transactions related to the property. To obtain the EC:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the local Sub-Registrar&#8217;s Office or apply online through the Chhattisgarh government&#8217;s portal.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specify the period for which the EC is required, typically 13 or 30 years.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review the certificate for any entries that indicate mortgages, liens, or legal disputes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>3. Check Land Records via Bhuinya Portal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chhattisgarh government provides an online platform, the Bhuinya portal, to access land records. This portal allows you to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify the ownership details.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the land classification and usage.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify any pending litigations or disputes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Ensure RERA Compliance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 mandates that all real estate projects be registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). To verify RERA compliance:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the Chhattisgarh RERA website.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for the project&#8217;s registration number.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review the project&#8217;s details, including approvals, timelines, and legal status.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>5. Review the Sale Agreement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before finalizing the purchase, thoroughly review the sale agreement. This document should clearly outline:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The terms and conditions of the sale.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payment schedules.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possession dates.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clauses related to penalties, cancellations, and refunds.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s advisable to have a legal expert vet the agreement to ensure your interests are protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Verify Property Tax Receipts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure that the property has no outstanding dues by checking the latest property tax receipts. This step confirms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The property&#8217;s legitimacy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The seller&#8217;s ownership and responsibility for the property.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No pending municipal taxes or penalties.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>7. Check for Approved Building Plans<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For constructed properties, verify that the building has been constructed as per the approved plans sanctioned by the local municipal authority. This ensures:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance with zoning regulations.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoidance of future legal complications or demolition notices.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>8. Obtain No Objection Certificates (NOCs)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the property&#8217;s nature and location, various NOCs might be required from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electricity and water supply departments.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire department.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pollution control board.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housing society or association.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These certificates confirm that the property complies with all necessary regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Check Occupancy and Completion Certificates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For newly constructed properties:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Completion Certificate (CC):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Issued by the municipal authorities, indicating that the building is constructed as per approved plans.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Occupancy Certificate (OC):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Confirms that the building is ready for occupancy and complies with all necessary regulations.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure both certificates are in place before proceeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10.
