Property Title Verification

Property is one the major investment option being used by NRIs to keep them connected to their homeland, India. These properties owned by NRIs are either self acquired or inherited from their ancestors.

NRIs are always concerned about the status of these properties as they are scared of fraudulent transactions concerning these properties. Moreover in absence of appropriate knowledge of various procedures, NRIs face numerous issues on account of ‘Property Search and Title Search’ about the properties owned by them in India.

Unlike developed countries, India lacks the system of Property bank through which the details of ownership of property can be ascertained online. Even though various states have initiated efforts to make the property records available online for the ease of citizens yet the same are not linked to any unique id like PAN Card or Adhaar Card. The government records available online are not easily accessible and retrieving the records online from government websites is an uphill task in itself. To add to their woes, the state revenue record departments being managed and updated in traditional manual records and files even today. Further these records are maintained in vernacular language which is alien to the next generation of NRIs.

Whether the property is owned through inheritance, family transfer or self acquisition, NRIs want to have full understanding and knowledge of the properties owned by them in India.

In absence of their physical presence in India, the anxieties of NRIs are always high on account of the ‘Clear Title’ and Ownership of the property.
