# Due Diligence (Land)

A comprehensive investigation of a land parcel's legal title, physical condition, regulatory compliance, and financial viability before purchase.

## What is Land Due Diligence?

Land due diligence is a systematic verification process that covers the legal title chain, encumbrances, physical boundaries, zoning compliance, tax status, and litigation risk of a property before acquisition. It typically involves legal counsel for title examination, a licensed surveyor for boundary verification, and revenue record cross-referencing at the Taluk and village offices. The goal is to identify and assess all risks before committing to a purchase.

## Due diligence checklist for Indian land

A thorough due diligence covers: title chain verification from Mother Deed to current owner with no gaps; Encumbrance Certificate for a minimum of 30 years showing no outstanding claims; Patta and Chitta verification with matching details; FMB cross-check against physical boundaries through site inspection; property tax payment receipts confirming no arrears; pending litigation check at relevant courts; zone and land use verification with CMDA or DTCP; NOC requirements assessment based on location and intended use; and verification that the property is not classified as Poramboke or otherwise restricted.

## Common due diligence red flags

Watch for these warning signs: gaps in the title chain where one or more transfers are unregistered; mismatched extent between Patta and FMB indicating boundary disputes or encroachments; pending encumbrances on the EC such as mortgages or liens; ongoing litigation involving the property or its owners; Poramboke classification in revenue records; unauthorized subdivision without proper revenue department approval; missing mutation after a recent transfer showing the previous owner on the Patta; and discrepancies between document descriptions and physical ground conditions.
