What is NA conversion?

Non-Agricultural conversion is the process of changing land use from agricultural to non-agricultural (residential / commercial / industrial). Granted by Collector / DC; requires payment of conversion charges.

How is 7/12 different from Sale Deed?

7/12 is a revenue record showing current possession and rights — not a title document. Sale Deed is the registered transfer instrument. Both should match for clean title.

What if 7/12 shows multiple holders?

Indicates joint ownership or unresolved partition. Each holder must consent to sale, or partition must be executed.

How long does land scrutiny take?

Typically 4-8 weeks for rural land due to manual record retrieval. Urban / semi-urban land 2-4 weeks.

Overview

Understanding Land Scrutiny Report

Land Scrutiny is the specialized due diligence required for agricultural land, large parcels, industrial land and rural / semi-urban acquisitions. It goes deeper than urban property due diligence — verifying revenue records (7/12, Khasra, Khatauni, RoR), boundary surveys, land-use classification, conversion (CLU) status, urban-land-ceiling compliance and tribal-land restrictions. Land transactions in India are complicated by State-specific tenancy laws, agricultural-buyer restrictions, ceiling laws, land conversion requirements (NA / CLU), tribal-land protections and RoR mismatches. A single overlooked entry in the 7/12 extract can derail a multi-crore land deal at the registration stage. Our land-specialist lawyers conduct end-to-end scrutiny — visiting Tehsildar / Patwari offices, retrieving 7/12 / Khasra extracts, mutation chains, parcellary maps, conducting boundary surveys with licensed surveyors, and verifying conversion / CLU status with concerned authorities.

Costly errors we routinely help clients fix — or better, avoid altogether.

Skipping 7/12 vs Sale Deed Mismatch

Revenue records and Sale Deed schedule may differ; reconcile both.

Buying Tribal Land

In tribal areas, sale to non-tribals is restricted. Even with consent, transactions can be void.

Missing NA Conversion

Building on agricultural land without NA conversion attracts demolition and penalty.

Boundary Disputes Hidden

Revenue records may not show neighbour encroachments; physical survey essential.
