Protecting your land in Delhi, from wherever you live.

Delhi’s revenue records cover its rural and urbanised villages, where land is still identified by khasra number and recorded in the khatauni. NRI families often hold a plot or farmland in one of these villages, or a vacant plot in a colony, and these are some of the most valuable — and most targeted — holdings in the country. Built-up flats are a different case; satellite monitoring is most useful for plots and land.

What to watch for

Common risks for NRI land in Delhi

  • Vacant plots and farmhouses being occupied, fenced or built on within weeks, given Delhi’s land prices.
  • Lal dora (village abadi) areas that often have no detailed revenue record, making proof of possession harder.
  • Forged sale documents and fake powers of attorney used to ‘sell’ a vacant plot.
  • Land affected by acquisition or land-pooling plans, where the owner abroad needs to follow notices.

What helps

Practical tips

  • Check the khatauni and khasra details on Bhulekh Delhi for village land.
  • For colony plots, keep registered sale deeds and property tax records up to date — they are your main evidence.
  • Treat any vacant Delhi plot as high-priority: watch both the land (clearing or a new structure shows up at building scale) and the khatauni (a new mutation is the early sign of a forged sale).

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Then we keep watch.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us where your land is

    Drop a pin on the map, or give the village and the survey, khasra, gat or dag number. About three minutes. No documents to upload, no power of attorney, no visits.

  2. Step 2

    We watch it on two fronts

    Every clear satellite image of your plot is compared with its own history — crops, digging, new building. And in 19 states we read your official land record every week for new owners or mutations.

  3. Step 3

    A person tells you what it means

    Each month a short update lands in your email. If something changes, our team checks it first, then explains it on WhatsApp or a call — in English or your home language.

Questions

Delhi: questions NRIs ask

Yes, for revenue land in Delhi’s villages. Bhulekh Delhi (DLRC) lets you search by district, village and khasra number. Colony plots and flats rely more on registered deeds and municipal records.

Lal dora is the old village residential area (abadi) marked on revenue maps, which was historically kept outside detailed revenue records. Ownership there is often shown through other documents, so keeping evidence of possession is especially important.
