The Indian Law of Property Due Diligence and Title Examination

A structured, practical guide to one of the highest-risk transactions in India: buying property. Every year, thousands of property buyers in India discover, too late, that their sale deed was worthless: a forged power of attorney, an unregistered document, an encroachment on gram sabha land, a title clouded by decades of unresolved succession. The Indian Law of Property: Due Diligence and Title Examination is written to close that gap between signing a document and actually owning safe, marketable title. Authored by Dr. Sravan Kumar, a practising advocate and legal-tech innovator with over fourteen years of experience advising banks, NBFCs, and corporates, this book treats title verification not as a clerical formality but as a serious legal discipline. It brings together statute, case law, and practical document scrutiny into one integrated framework for examining property before money changes hands. Moving methodically through statutory framework, risk areas, and real transaction concerns, this book equips its reader to treat every property purchase with the legal seriousness it deserves. Because in property law, what you don't verify is exactly what will cost you.
