16 February 2025, New Delhi: Fraudulent land deals are common in India, making due diligence essential. One of the biggest scams involves fake ownership claims, where sellers attempt to sell land they do not legally own. Buyers should always verify the Title Deed and cross-check land records with local authorities. Double selling, where the same plot is sold to multiple buyers, can be avoided by checking the Encumbrance Certificate for any previous transactions.
Encroachments and illegal land sales are also major risks—buyers should physically inspect the land, verify local court records for disputes, and check for any pending legal claims. Another fraud involves selling government or tribal land, which is legally non-transferable. To prevent falling victim to these scams, buyers should involve a legal expert to conduct thorough verification before finalizing any purchase.
