โš ๏ธCommon Problems & Solutions

โœ—Encumbrance on property title
โ†’Get an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) from the Sub-Registrar office in Guwahati to check all registered transactions and liabilities on the property. Any mortgage, lien, or court attachment will appear in the EC. Clear all encumbrances before purchasing.
โœ—Mutation pending after property purchase
โ†’Mutation (dakhil kharij) must be applied within 3โ€“6 months of registration. If pending, visit the Patwari or Tehsildar office in Guwahati with the registered sale deed, previous Khatauni, and Aadhaar. Escalate to the Revenue Divisional Officer if the Tehsildar delays beyond the prescribed period.
โœ—Property dispute / disputed title
โ†’For disputed land in Guwahati, file a civil suit in the appropriate court. In the meantime, an Encumbrance Certificate and ROR extract can show the current recorded ownership. Do not pay for disputed property without title insurance or a legal opinion.
โœ—Missing survey records / old land records not digitised
โ†’For properties with very old or undigitised records in Guwahati, visit the District Land Records office with the original title deed and previous survey number. The Tehsildar can issue a manual certified copy while digitisation is pending.
โœ—Agricultural land converted to non-agricultural (NA) use
โ†’Land use conversion requires permission from the Collector or Revenue Divisional Officer in Guwahati. Apply for NA order before constructing on agricultural land. Illegal construction on agricultural land risks demolition.
