Which Land Categories Are Commonly Used?
| Category | Read First |
|---|---|
| Residential plots | Scheme brochure, allotment method, lease and building rules |
| Industrial plots | Eligibility, project report, production deadlines and permitted activity |
| Commercial plots | Use, FAR/building rules, payment and transfer terms |
| Institutional plots | Eligible institution, use obligation and completion milestones |
| Mixed land use | Exact permitted mix; never assume unrestricted conversion |
How Should Plot Measurements Be Read?
Brochures commonly use square metres. Distinguish area, dimensions, frontage and site boundaries. A marketing redraw marked “not to scale” cannot establish measurement.
What Is the Allotment Process?
The brochure may specify draw, e-auction, interview/evaluation or another category-specific method. Successful selection leads to further conditions; it is not the end of due diligence.
Due-Diligence Checklist
- Confirm official scheme code and property category.
- Verify allottee, plot, pocket, sector and area.
- Read allotment letter and registered lease.
- Check dues, payments, interest and cancellation/restoration history.
- Check transfer/mortgage permission and encumbrances.
- Compare master plan, sector plan, GIS and approved site plan.
- Verify possession, services and construction approvals separately.
- Use qualified legal/technical advice for a transaction.
Important Risks
Common risks include forged documents, unpaid dues, unauthorised transfer, mismatched plot descriptions, unapproved construction, outdated maps, proposed infrastructure presented as complete and payments requested outside official channels.
