What goes wrong — Bihar and Patna specifics
Land survey and record modernisation is ongoing
Bihar's special survey and record updation programme is actively redrawing records across districts. Parcels mid-survey can show inconsistencies between the old and new records, and transactions during that window need particular care.
Ceiling surplus and Bhoodan land
Bihar has extensive ceiling-surplus and Bhoodan land whose transfer is restricted. Such land periodically enters the market and the restriction survives subsequent sales.
A bank's opinion protects the bank, not you
Lenders commission opinions to assess their own security. A sanctioned loan is not evidence of clean title.
Litigation does not appear in registration records
Pending suits, injunctions and attachment orders are not disclosed by an encumbrance search. A court records check is separate.
Statewide land survey is actively redrawing records
Bihar's special survey and record updation programme is redrawing records district by district. Parcels mid-survey can show inconsistencies between the old and new records, and transacting during that window needs particular care.
Ceiling surplus and Bhoodan land
Bihar has extensive ceiling-surplus and Bhoodan land whose transfer is restricted, and the restriction survives subsequent sales.

Title Opinion FAQs — Patna
How does Bihar's ongoing land survey affect my purchase?
The special survey is redrawing records district by district, and a parcel mid-survey can show inconsistencies between the old jamabandi and the new record. Buying during that window is possible but the survey stage needs establishing first, since a discrepancy discovered later is much harder to correct.
Why does this page not show stamp duty figures?
Bihar's current gift deed rates could not be established from reliable public sources, and we would rather show nothing than an estimate. We confirm the position directly with the registration department for each transaction.
What is Bhoodan land and why does it matter?
Bhoodan land was donated under the land-gift movement and redistributed, and its transfer is restricted. Bihar has extensive such land, and the restriction survives subsequent sales, so it can surface many links down a chain that otherwise looks ordinary.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Boring Road or Kankarbagh?
Central Patna is served by the Patna Sadar and Patna City offices, with Danapur, Barh, Masaurhi, Paliganj and Fatuha covering the district.
