The 6 Core Documents You Must Check
Each document originates from a different state department. Here is how Naaz Verify audits each record to secure your investment.
RTC / Pahani (Record of Rights)
The primary land record maintained by the Karnataka Revenue Department. It defines current ownership, survey numbers, total acreage, classification (agricultural vs converted non-agricultural), and tenancy or mortgage annotations.
Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
Issued by the Sub-Registrar Office, the EC indexes all registered transactions over a specified period — including sales, mortgages, leases, gift deeds, and court attachments. A clean Form 15 EC confirms no recorded registered liabilities.
Mutation Register (Form 21 / MR)
Mutation is the administrative process that updates government revenue records following a sale, inheritance, or gift. Without an approved mutation, official revenue records do not reflect the buyer's name even if the deed is registered.
Khata Certificate & Extract
A municipal or panchayat property tax assessment record. An 'A Khata' indicates a fully approved layout, while 'B Khata' properties may lack plan sanction. Khata transfer is mandatory for urban property owners in Bengaluru.
Survey Sketches (Tippan, Akarband & Hissa)
Government field measurement sketches indicating exact physical boundaries, road setbacks, and survey sub-divisions. These records confirm that the property's physical boundaries on the ground align with the sale deed description.
Registered Sale Deed & Title Continuity
The core legal instrument transferring property rights. A proper verification inspects not just the current deed, but also the chain of parent/mother deeds spanning 30+ years to confirm uninterrupted marketable title.
