What is porcha and how can I proceed for it legally


29-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
I was a teenager when my father died. I didn't know anything about porcha then because my mother also knew that having dalil with a site plan is enough. But now I am an adult and came to know about porcha. Now my questions are:
  1. I have my dalil with a site plan, then why do I need porcha?
  2. If I need porcha, how do I get it? Also, what is the cost involved?
  3. Will porcha be different in measurement and site plan map?

Dear client, Porcha is a document that records the name of the owner in the records of the BLRO (Block Land & Revenue Office) department. It includes details about the owner, the occupant, and the nature of the land. However, it does not create or extinguish ownership rights. Since you already have a registered deed of sale (dalil), that document is sufficient to prove your ownership of the property.

Dalil or Deed is a document which proves ownership of land . And similarly you have to mutation in local land revenue office. They will issue porcha of the land in your father,s name. There should be Mouza, plot no, khatian no. Etc

Porcha (also known as Record of Rights, or ROR) is a legal document that contains specific details about the land, including:
  • Mouza (Village Name)
  • JL Number
  • CS/RS Dag Number (Plot Number)
  • Khatian Number (Record of Rights Number)
If the mutation of the property has already been completed, Porcha can be obtained from the BLRO office. However, if the mutation has not been done, you will need to complete the mutation process first before obtaining the Porcha.

Cost Involved:
You do not need to spend a significant amount of money except for the mutation fee, which is charged at a government-prescribed rate. For more details, you can contact the LawRato legal experts for assistance.
