How to verify a property title in India
The title lives in several record rooms, and none of them agree. That disagreement is where the real work is.
The title is recorded in several places, and none of them agree perfectly. Verification is the job of closing the gaps between them.
Where the records are
The registered title sits with the sub-registrar, the encumbrance record with the EC, the revenue record with the state, and the security interest with CERSAI. A charge can exist at CERSAI before it shows on the deed, which is why cross-checking matters.
The gap between them
A property can look clean in one record and carry a problem in another. The deed may say one owner while the patta says another, or a mortgage may be registered but not yet released. No single record settles the title.
What careful verification does
It pulls the chain, the EC, the revenue record and the security registry together and reconciles them. Where they disagree, it flags the gap rather than assuming the deed is right.
