What is this service?
Documentation and transfer work specific to BDA-allotted properties.
Properties in BDA layouts follow BDA's own documentation route - allotment letters, lease-cum-sale agreements, possession records and eventual sale deeds. Transfers and verifications of BDA properties go through BDA's processes, which differ from the municipal route.
Why and when you need it
- Why
- BDA records sit with BDA - municipal or SRO routes alone do not complete a BDA property transaction.

Common rejection reasons

Important cautions
Check whether the property is still at the lease-cum-sale stage - transfer rules differ
BDA verification is separate from Khatha verification - both matter
FAQs
How do I verify a BDA site before buying?
Verify the allotment, stage of documentation and dues directly with BDA - then verify title and approvals independently.
What is lease-cum-sale?
A structure where the allottee holds the site on lease terms until the sale deed is executed after the prescribed conditions.
Does a BDA property also need Khatha?
Yes - municipal records and tax apply as for other properties, in addition to BDA records.
