What goes wrong — Assam and Guwahati specifics
A legal heir certificate is not proof of title
It establishes who the heirs are, not what each inherits. Banks accept it for pension and PF; buyers and courts do not treat it as title.
Daughters inherit equally as coparceners
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters are coparceners by birth with rights equal to sons.
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.
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.

Brahmaputra flood zone and hill restrictions
Guwahati's hills and riverfront carry construction restrictions under hill-cutting and flood regulations that survive any transfer.

Legal Heir Certificate FAQs — Guwahati
What is myadi patta and why does it matter in Guwahati?
Assam distinguishes several land tenures. Myadi patta is periodic, heritable and transferable; eksonia and certain other tenures carry restrictions or are annual. Establishing which class your land falls under is a threshold question, because some tenures cannot be freely sold at all — and land is frequently marketed without reference to it.
Can I build on Guwahati's hills?
Hill-cutting regulations restrict construction on Guwahati's hill slopes, and riverfront property is affected by flood zone rules. Both survive a transfer and bind the owner regardless of clean title, so buildability should be assessed separately.
Why does this page not show stamp duty figures?
Assam's current gift deed rates could not be established from reliable public sources. Rather than publish an estimate you might act on, we confirm the position directly with the revenue department for each transaction.
