What goes wrong — Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam specifics
Assigned land carries a permanent alienation bar
Land assigned to landless beneficiaries under the AP Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act generally cannot be transferred at all, and the bar survives every subsequent sale. Such land periodically reaches the market through chains that look ordinary.
Amaravati capital region land pooling
Land in the capital region went through a land pooling scheme with returnable developed plots. Entitlements and their transferability are governed by the scheme rather than by an ordinary title chain.
Prohibited property lists under Section 22-A
Government, endowment and disputed land appears on a prohibited list and cannot be registered, however clean the deed chain looks. This is a check separate from the encumbrance search.
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 — Visakhapatnam
What is assigned land and why does it matter in Visakhapatnam?
Assigned land was allotted to landless beneficiaries and generally cannot be alienated at all. The bar survives every subsequent transfer, so a buyer several links down the chain acquires nothing. It does not appear on an encumbrance certificate, which is why it must be checked separately.
Can I build on a plot along Beach Road or at Rushikonda?
Coastal Regulation Zone limits restrict construction along the Visakhapatnam coast regardless of title. Clean ownership does not imply buildability, so CRZ classification should be established before purchase.
What is the Section 22-A prohibited list?
Andhra Pradesh maintains a list of properties — government, endowment, assigned and disputed land — that cannot be registered. A property can show a clean encumbrance certificate and still appear on that list, so it is a separate and essential check.
