What to verify on the ground
Print it, carry it, tick it with a pen. A plot visit is a verification exercise — this is the list.

Before you go
- Read the project page: approval number, survey numbers, extent and the plot schedule.
- Note the plot numbers you want to walk, and their recorded dimensions.
- Carry the sanctioned layout plan — printed or on your phone.
- Confirm the visit slot with the desk, and who will meet you.
At the gate
- Does the entrance match the sanctioned plan's access point?
- Is the layout board displayed, and does its approval number match the published one?
- Walk the main road: is the width consistent with the plan?
On the plot
- Find the survey stones at the corners; pace the frontage and depth against the schedule.
- Check the levels: does the plot need filling, and where does rainwater drain?
- Locate the water line and the electricity poles serving the plot.
- Stand on the plot at both ends of the day if you can — sun, noise, neighbours.
- Note what borders the plot: road, another plot, open space, or something unrecorded.
The paperwork
- Ask for the mother document chain and read the seller's title.
- Take an Encumbrance Certificate for the survey numbers, for at least 15 years.
- Verify the DTCP approval independently with the authority.
- Confirm patta transfer, tax receipts and who pays what at registration.
- Agree the price, the schedule of payment and what is included — in writing.
This list is general guidance for any plotted development, not legal advice and not a substitute for your own lawyer’s verification. On Jamin projects, the approval number, survey numbers and plot schedule are published on the project page.
