Whether you’re buying a BDA plot, BMRDA site, villa plot, or apartment, follow this ✅ complete property verification checklist before signing the deal.
✅ 1. Check Land Ownership Documents
Mother Deed / Title Deed
Confirms the original & current ownership trail
Should be clear & unbroken chain
Sale Deed

| BBMP / City Limits | A-Khata preferred |
| Farmlands | DC Conversion needed for residential use |
Tip: Avoid B-Khata for investment unless you have conversion clarity.
✅ 3. Land Conversion (DC Conversion)
If it’s agricultural land, check:
✅ DC Conversion order
