What you get

Every government source we hold for that district, read for your parcel: what each one says, the date each was read, and — the part nobody else prints — a plain list of what we looked for and could not find. It arrives as a PDF by email, with your reference number on every page.

What you need in front of you

One way to identify the parcel — the Khasra or Gata number, the Khata or Khatauni number, or the name exactly as it is recorded — and the district. If you have none of the three, the form still goes through and a person calls you; we would rather ask than guess at a parcel.

What we will not do

We will not give you a score, a grade or a “safe to buy”. What the record says, where we looked, and what is missing is a fact we can stand behind. A colour and a number is an opinion, and an opinion about somebody’s land is a thing to be sued over.

How should we find the parcel?
Whether you are permitted to buy

Uttarakhand limits a family to 250 sq m of residential land in a lifetime — outside municipal limits — and confines agricultural purchase to two districts.

What the law actually says in Uttarakhand

The rules were rewritten by the Uttarakhand (Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950) (Amendment) Act, 2025 — Act 11 of 2025 — assented on 30 April 2025 and published at Dehradun on 1 May 2025.

Read section 1(2) before anything else, because it decides whether the rest of the Act touches your plot at all. The Act extends to the whole of Uttarakhand "except — the areas included and to be included from time to time in any Municipal Corporation, Nagar Panchayat, Nagar Palika Parishad and Cantonment Board limits". Inside those boundaries the restrictions below do not apply. This is the part most coverage of the law leaves out, and it is the part that decides the answer.

Outside them, section 154(4) requires a buyer to give the Sub-Registrar an affidavit that he "or his family has not purchased more than 250 sq meters of land elsewhere in State for residential purposes during lifetime". The cap is per family, for a lifetime, counted across the whole state. A false affidavit makes the transfer void and brings in the consequences of section 167.

Agricultural or horticultural land may be bought with prior sanction of the State Government "only in Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar districts". In the other eleven districts that route is not open. If the use later changes, the transfer is void and section 167 follows.

The date of the deed can change the answer. In June 2026 the Supreme Court held in Sarafat Ali v. Deputy Director of Consolidation, Haridwar that a transfer contravening the unamended section 154 was voidable at the instance of the Gaon Sabha rather than void, and that the 1981 amendment which made such transfers void with automatic vesting "must therefore operate prospectively". Which version of the section was in force on the day the deed was executed is a question about the chain of title, and it is one the record can answer.

And in the other states we hold records for

Of the ten states whose records we hold, only two ask who the buyer is — Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. The rest restrict how much land may be held, or protect land belonging to particular communities. That distinction is the whole of it, and almost nobody draws it.

Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh bars a sale to a non-agriculturist outright, section 118, unless the State Government itself permits it.

Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh caps the holding at 12.5 acres and guards Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe land — but it does not ask who you are.

Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh protects tribal land under section 165(6) of the Land Revenue Code.

Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh carries the same section 165 tribal-land protection, amended twice.

Rajasthan. Rajasthan bars transfer of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe land, section 42(b).

Jharkhand. Jharkhand has the tightest tribal-land regime on this list — the CNT and SPT Acts, with the Deputy Commissioner’s sanction the only way through.

Haryana. No bar on who may buy in Haryana that we could find — ceiling law only.

Delhi (NCT). Delhi restricts transfer of certain notified lands, not certain buyers.

Bihar. No bar on who may buy in Bihar that we could find — ceiling law only.
