What goes wrong — Jharkhand and Ranchi specifics
CNT and SPT Acts restrict tribal land transfer
The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act prohibit or heavily restrict transfer of tribal land to non-tribals across much of Jharkhand. A transaction breaching them is void and the land is liable to restoration to the original holder. This is the single most important check in the state and has no equivalent in most of India.
Khatiyan-based records and long chains
Jharkhand's records rest on old survey khatiyans, and reconciling a modern deed against them is frequently the substance of a title investigation.
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.

Title Opinion FAQs — Ranchi
Can I buy land from a tribal owner in Ranchi?
Generally not. The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act prohibits transfer of tribal land to non-tribals across most of the Ranchi region, and a breaching transaction is void with the land liable to restoration to the original holder. This is the first thing to establish on any Jharkhand land purchase, and it does not appear on an encumbrance search.
What is a khatiyan and why does it matter?
The khatiyan is the old survey record of rights on which Jharkhand's land records rest. Reconciling a modern deed against the khatiyan entry is usually the substance of a title investigation here, and a mismatch is a defect rather than a clerical issue.
Why does this page not show stamp duty figures?
Jharkhand's current gift deed rates could not be established from reliable public sources. We do not publish estimated statutory figures — we confirm the position directly with the registration department for each transaction.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Lalpur or Kanke Road?
Central Ranchi is served by the Ranchi office, with Kanke, Namkum, Bundu, Silli and Khunti covering the surrounding areas.
