What is this service?
SRCHN.PROPERTY applies for the required survey records at the survey office (or online where digitised), verifies the sketch against the RTC and the physical site, and explains what the records establish - and what they do not.
The Survey Department's Tippani is the certified sketch of a survey number's boundaries as measured on the ground; Akarband records the parcel's area and classification; Phodi records a survey number's subdivision. These records settle boundary questions, support RTC corrections, and are demanded in partition, conversion and dispute matters.
Why and when you need it
- Why
- Boundary disputes, partition deeds, conversion applications and court matters all lean on survey records. Having the certified Tippani early prevents argument over what the survey number actually covers.
- Who needs it
- Landowners in boundary questions, heirs partitioning land, and buyers of revenue sites verifying extent.
- When
- Before partition, conversion, fencing or any boundary-sensitive transaction.
