Only the local survey office or the revenue collectorate can help you.
They have a very detailed land planning map with them. On the basis of your title deed they can pin point the actual location.
My parents bought a plot of land in Bangalore about 25 years ago. My uncle had helped us buy the property but he is no more unfortunately - only he was aware of the exact spot of the property location. We have all papers with us - but my father and I have been trying to locate the exact four corners of the plot but have not been able to because there is no survey number in the documents - only the layout and the plot no. of the property at that time, 25 years ago. Is there a way this can be identified? We would like to know this. Any help from any esteemed lawyer on this forum will be highly appreciated.

A. What are the legal documents in connection with the property do you have?
B. Do you have approved layout plan? If yes, you can check the same in that document.
C. If your property situated in a particular area, village that you can check on CDP plan or Village Map, Survey Sketch etc.
D. You can ascertain the particular property in local authorities.
E. Contact a local advocate to resolve this matter.
1)you have to make inquires with your local municipal corporation . your property tax bill must be mentioning survey number of your plot . in addition assessment order passed by municipal corporation of your plot contains these details .
2)in addition in karnataka land records have been computerised . you can enter the name of owner or plot number and obtain printed copy of RTC on payment of nominal fees at any of land record kiosks in the taluka office
As mentioned by you, you are from Karnataka, all the revenue records in Karnataka have been computerised. By mentioning the name of the owner, you can get the details of the property. further, on the property, property tax must have been paid by your father. is no survey number mentioned on the tax receipt as well??
Contact the municipal corporation or file an RTI to obtain the survey number for the same.
1. Who was the seller? How did you purchase the property in the first place if it had no survey number? Survey number is mentioned in the sale deed and also the agreement.
2. It is most imprudent to buy a property which has no survey number.
3. You should go the office of the local tehsildar and seek his help in locating the property.
If you have the property title documents with you, an encumbrance certificate on property can be obtained from registrar's office in which you can find the check boundaries of all the four corners. You can even visit the revenue office of that jurisdiction and can verify the details and move an application for government surveyor to survey your property and fix the boundaries.
You dont need an assistance of any lawyer for ding this job, you can do it yourself by approaching concerned officers.
1, From whom did you buy the said land? If the layout/property belongs to Bangalore Municipal Corporation then you can enquire about the location of your land from the Corporation. The location of your plot can be in=dentified from the layout map,
2. If the layout/property is in a panchayat area, then you shall have to approach the Panchayat or local tehshilder's office.
1. Apply for Encumbrance Certificate for the property based on the details available with you. The EC will contain any new number allotted to the same property/ PID No. and the boundaries.
2. Visit the jurisdictional BBMP office or the Village Panchayat Office or the BMRDA, as the case may be, and take the help of the Revenue Inspector or the Assistant Revenue Officer and he would be able to locate the property.
either you can file a questionnaire before civil court on the basis of record you have and get detailed answer from revenue department. If in the mean time any changes has taken place in revenue record then revenue officer will inform you in the answer of questionnaire.
or file application before DM and get 25 years of revenue record on the payment of requisite fee. Picture will be cleared and you will get proper map of your land.
Thanks for your answers to my quite old question. This is a follow-up to that as I could not proceed at that time. My parents bought a property in Bangalore about 25 years ago. Unfortunately, they did not fence the property at that time. Now, we are not sure of its exact boundaries and that area has changed so much. I have the sale deed papers which give the survey number of the property. In the property sale deed - there is also something mentioned called site number. For example, if the address is site no. 8 at 15/2B - I know where survey number 15 is. I know the actual physical location of this survey no. 15 (open land). But where exactly is 2B in that and which is site no. 8 in that 2B - how can I get this information? I have been trying to get this info but always end up with agents and cheats at these government offices that try to scam me. Also, not knowing the local language is a challenge. Nobody is helping me to get access to a map / layout plan to help me. I have also tried online portals by Government of Karnataka but that too has not helped so far. Documents I have - sale deed and EC. The latest EC (taken a few months ago) on this property shows my mother's name as the last transaction those many years ago. EC does not have any information on the boundaries - some people told me it may have but it does not. Taxes were not paid since purchase - once I can identify the land exactly, then I will pay the taxes and penalties. I want to know the exact boundaries. Would a lawyer be able to help me find the exact boundaries of my property? With the help of a surveyor may be? Is there any lawyer in Bangalore who can help me with this? What is the best way for me forward and the procedure I must follow? Will be grateful for any guidance that can be offered to help me get final closure on this issue.
You have to apply to survey office for demarcation of boundaries of your land
in alternative apply to court to appoint commissioner for demarcation of boundaries of your land
1. Normally boundaries of the plot will invariably mentioned in the sale deed. Checkup the schedule of the property in the sale deed, where the boundaries towards East, West, South and North will have to be there.
2. Is it BDA allotted or KHB or BBMP or CMC or TMC or revenue property?.
It appears that you have approached the touts and persons of dishonest nature alone for getting the job done.
This comes under land revenue department.
Therefore you my approach the jurisdictional Tehsildar office with an application seeking survey of the property by the taluk government surveyor and should be ready to pay the charges that are meant for the surveying the property and also to fix the boundary stones.
You can submit an application in this regard to the Tehsildar concerned and await his reply.
If he is not cooperating then you may prefer a representation to the District collector seeking his intervention and direction to the concerned Tehsildar for carrying out this desired task.
The Tehsildar with the help of the land revenue records available in his office would direct the surveyor to carry out the survey of the property and also to fix the boundary stones encompassing your property.
You can approach court seeking a direction to Tehsildar for getting the property surveyed through the taluk surveyor if there is no response from Tehsildar despite the District collector's direction.
1. Instead of falling in the trap of agents you should engage a local lawyer and apply for fresh survey of the land to locate your property.
2. Engage a local lawyer immediately.
