The Rajasthan Urban Land (Certification of Titles) Act, 2016

General201640 sections3 chapters

The Rajasthan Urban Land Certification of Titles Act 2016 regulates the survey, mapping, and formal certification of non-agricultural land titles in Rajasthan’s urban areas. This law applies to urban landowners, property occupiers, development authorities, and local municipal bodies throughout the entire state. It matters because it establishes a dedicated Certification Authority to verify property documents and issue official title certificates. By creating a computerized, reliable public registry of urban properties, this legislation seeks to reduce ownership disputes, prevent real estate fraud, secure financial transactions, and provide landowners with guaranteed, state-backed, and legally recognized proof of their property ownership.
