What is this service?
SRCHN.PROPERTY traces the sanction number with the issuing authority, compares sanctioned and actual construction, checks for deviation beyond permissible limits, and confirms the unit under purchase sits within sanctioned limits - alongside the OC status for larger buildings.
A sanctioned plan is only meaningful if it is real, still valid, and the building actually follows it. Verification confirms the plan sanction number with the sanctioning authority (BBMP, BDA or the local authority), checks the sanctioned floors and area against the physical building, and confirms the specific unit being bought is within the sanctioned area.
