1Property Verification & Due Diligence in Patna

What is Property Verification and Why Do You Need It?

Property verification is the legal due-diligence process of examining documents, revenue records and court records to confirm the seller holds clear, marketable title. In Bihar, where land records can be fragmented, verification by a qualified property verification lawyer in Patna is essential — not optional.

Services Offered

ServiceTimelineFee (From)
Title Search Report (13–30 years)7–20 days₹5,000
Chain of Deed Analysis5–10 days₹3,500
Dakhil-Kharij (Mutation) Verification5–7 days₹3,000
Non-Encumbrance Certificate (NEC)3–5 days₹2,500
Builder Due Diligence7–10 days₹7,500
Flat & Plot Verification5–7 days₹4,000
Commercial Property Audit10–15 days₹10,000

7 Critical Red Flags in Bihar Property Documents

  • Discrepancy in seller's name or parentage — potential impersonation or fraudulent transfer
  • Missing link in the chain of title — unregistered transfer or adverse possession claim
  • Pending litigation in the Encumbrance Certificate — property may be under injunction or attachment
  • No approved building plan or Occupancy Certificate — unauthorized construction risk
  • Property tax arrears or municipal acquisition notices — liability may transfer to the buyer
  • Sale deed by Power of Attorney without a registered POA — voidable transaction risk
  • Agricultural land without conversion order — violation of the Bihar Land Reforms Act

Our Title Search Reports are accepted by SBI, PNB, Bank of Baroda, HDFC, ICICI and all major banks for home loan processing.

2RERA Litigation & Homebuyer Rights in Bihar

Your Rights Under Section 18 of the RERA Act, 2016

If a builder fails to deliver possession by the agreed date, you are entitled to either a full refund of all amounts paid with statutory interest (MCLR + 1%), or immediate possession with compensation for every month of delay.

RERA Services

  • File RERA complaint against builder
  • Builder delay in possession — refund + interest
  • Compensation for delay & structural defects
  • Unregistered project complaints
  • RERA execution proceedings
  • Appeal before RERA Appellate Tribunal
Key Update (2025): Following Samiullah v. State of Bihar (SC, 2025), mutation proof is no longer mandatory for registration of sale deeds — making independent due diligence even more critical before property purchase.

3Cheque Bounce Recovery — Section 138 NI Act Expert

A Dishonoured Cheque is a Criminal Offence — Act Within 30 Days

Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, cheque bounce is punishable with imprisonment up to 2 years and a fine up to twice the cheque amount.

Critical Timeline (Non-Extendable)

Day 0
Receive cheque return memo from bank
Days 1–30
Send statutory legal notice under Section 138
Days 31–45
Wait 15 days for payment
Days 46–75
File Section 138 criminal complaint before Magistrate
Warning: Missing the 30-day notice deadline permanently extinguishes your Section 138 right. Per Kaveri Plastics v. Mahdoom Bawa (SC, 2025), the notice must demand the exact cheque amount — any typographical error is fatal.

Dual-Track Recovery Strategy

We pursue both criminal and civil remedies simultaneously for maximum recovery:
