What goes wrong — Assam and Guwahati specifics
Tribal belt and block restrictions
Assam designates protected tribal belts and blocks where land transfer to those outside the protected classes is restricted. Transactions breaching the restriction can be set aside.
Daughters are coparceners in their own right
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters hold coparcenary rights equal to sons regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005.
Every co-sharer must join or the deed can be reopened
A partition omitting a coparcener or heir is vulnerable to challenge. Identifying the complete set is the substance of the work.
Patta class determines whether land is transferable at all
Assam distinguishes myadi (periodic, heritable and transferable) patta from eksonia (annual) and other tenures with restricted transferability. Establishing which class applies is a threshold question, and land marketed without reference to it is a common problem.
Tribal belt and block restrictions
Assam designates protected belts and blocks where transfer to those outside the protected classes is restricted, and a breaching transaction can be set aside.
Brahmaputra flood zone and hill restrictions
Guwahati's hills and riverfront carry construction restrictions under hill-cutting and flood regulations that survive any transfer.
