Records of Rights
Get the details of the property, owners & nature of its possession issued by Asst. Tahsildar
(3 to 7 working days)
For properties with a past, the record of rights is important. It is important, both historically and legally to know where does the land one wish to build upon, come from. This information is available from the assistant Tahsildar at the Taluk level.
WHAT IS IT EXACTLY?
In the earlier days, there was not a written record of land transfers or any sort of data recorded to maintain a record of the land being passed down from generation to generation or different people. This record enables us to keep a track of the land ownership and occupying details using all the data that is available to us in the form of verbal agreements, written records, or as dictated by the society based on certain relationships between the parties such as mortgagor and mortgagee. The record is collected and maintained by the tahsildar of the village.
REASON FOR THIS RECORD OF RIGHTS?
The past years have not been kind to India in terms of Zamindari still existing, certain classes being denied the right to hold property etc. Land disputes, Agricultural disputes, Benami transactions, Urbanization are a few reasons why it is hard to trace the roots of the property and confirm its validity and ownership.
INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN RECORD OF RIGHTS:-
- The names of the people who hold the land and how they got it. The terms and conditions or rights acquired by them. The rent they paid and currently pay for that land.
- Any court orders on the land.
- Any loan is taken for the land by the person and
- Right of the way if applicable, i.e. if other people can make use of the land to walk through or pass through.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
- What dues are legally required to be paid for the land.
- To know if it is agricultural property or not.
- Get a legal title (in case it had a Benami transaction at some point of time)
- The clarity in case of legal dispute.
- Helps with property taxes.
- This record of rights makes it much easier for anyone who wishes to draw information for a specific property.
