Land and Legal Verification Checklist for House Construction ◆ Check all property documents like Sale Deed, Mother Deed, Patta, Khata, and Mutation records — they should be clear and legally registered.
â—† Match the survey number, subdivision number, and plot number in the land records with the actual site location.
â—† Get an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) for at least the last 30 years to confirm there are no loans, mortgages, or legal disputes on the property.
â—† Check the zoning rules to confirm whether the land is approved for residential, mixed-use, or restricted purposes.
â—† Verify the allowed FSI (Floor Space Index) and ground coverage for construction.
â—† Apply for building approval and get the sanctioned building plan from the local authority.
â—† If required, obtain approvals like Environmental Clearance, Fire NOC, Airport NOC, or Panchayat approval.
â—† Make sure the road width follows local bylaws (for example, many areas require a minimum 20-foot road width for a two-storey house).
â—† Check the required front, rear, and side setbacks mentioned in the approved building plan.
