Government Land and Restricted Categories
Certain categories of land in Uttar Pradesh are not freely transferable. Identifying them early protects buyers from future legal complications.
Common Restricted Categories
- Government land (Rajkiya Bhumi)
- Enemy property (Shatru Sampatti)
- Evicted / Be-dakhli properties
- Forest and protected areas
- Land reserved for public purposes
- Properties under specific court orders or attachments
How to Check
On the official UP Bhulekh portal look for dedicated sections or search options related to government land, enemy property or Be-dakhli status. Select District and Tehsil, then enter the relevant identifiers. Review any flags or notes that appear against the plot.
Caution: Online indicators are helpful but not always complete. For any transaction involving potential government interest, consult the local revenue office and a qualified lawyer.
Why It Matters
Purchasing restricted land can lead to cancellation of the sale, loss of money and prolonged litigation. Always perform thorough due diligence before finalising any deal.
