Dear Sir,
The following information may kindly be read:
The demarcation of a land is intended to guarantee the Owner's right for the land. It should establish the real extension of the area under Owner's possession, assuring the protection of the demarcated limits and keeping invaders away.
The procedure for the agricultural demarcation is real simple nowadays but it's time consuming. Please follow the following steps for the same :
- Go to the Tehsildar Office in your area.
- Approach any Typewriter or Photostate shop early and ask them to make an application for demarcation for you by providing necessary details like Owner's name, Address, Land address/map and FORM F (Go along with your property documents. Affix the same Court fee stamp of denomination 75 paise.
- Provide contacts and addresses of the neighboring properties (North, South, West, East facing properties) and 2 witnesses.
- Submit your application along with all the required documents
Once, the application is submitted, notice is sent to the neighbouring properties & local RI (Revenue Inspector) Office in order to verify the neighbouring plots and the land that you are applying for demarcation. Once it is verified, the local RI contacts you on your mobile number or on your postal address to confirm about your application. Once it is confirmed, a Patwari/Amin is assigned from the local RI office to demarcate your land on a specific date when both the Patwari/Amin & the Applicant are free.
On the particular day the Patwari/Amin will come along with the map of the locality and with the tools and measures he will demarcate the land.
It is recommend to keep limestone powder to draw the line along with the boundary and get a temporary boundary constructed.
The govt fixed fee for demarcation is as follows
- For residential/house site Rs.10/-.
- Agricultural land up to 2 hectare Rs.25/-.
- Agricultural land between 2 hectares to 4 hectares Rs.50/-
However, the Patwari/Amin will ask extra money and it ranges from Rs. 1000–3000. It's always better to show your negotiation skills at such time.
Also, the processing time varies from regions to regions and depends on variables like verification of land from the neighbouring plot owners and availablity of the Patwari/Amin. Generally, it takes 1 month from the time of submitting the application and following up the Tehsildar Office constantly may boost the speed of document processing.
