Documents to Check Before Buying a Plot
A plot purchase is only as safe as the documentation behind it. This checklist covers what to request and verify before you pay a booking amount, for any project on the Super Corridor, including Omaxe Super Corridor Indore.
Documents to Request and Verify
| Document | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Title deed / chain of title | Confirms clear, marketable ownership of the land |
| RERA registration certificate | Confirms the project is registered under the RERA Act, 2016, with disclosed details |
| Layout approval | Confirms the plot layout is approved by the relevant development authority |
| Commencement certificate | Confirms permission to start construction/development on the land |
| Encumbrance certificate | Confirms the land is free of registered mortgages or legal liabilities over a specified period |
| Land-use/conversion certificate | Confirms agricultural land, if applicable, has been legally converted for residential use |
| Approved building plan (if constructing) | Confirms your construction plan matches sanctioned norms and FAR |
| Payment receipts and allotment letter | Your own record of what has been paid and against which plot |
Ask for each of these in writing and have them reviewed by your own lawyer, not only the developer’s representative.

How to Verify RERA Status Yourself
Do not rely solely on a developer's claim of RERA registration. Search the project directly on the MP RERA portal using the project or developer name, and cross-check the registration number, promoter details and disclosed timeline. Our RERA status guide explains this process in detail for Omaxe Super Corridor Indore specifically.
Red Flags During Document Review
- Reluctance to share original or certified copies of title documents
- No RERA registration number, or one that doesn't match on the official portal
- Pressure to book before you have had documents independently reviewed
- Discrepancies between the marketed layout and the officially approved layout

Documents Before Buying a Plot: FAQs
Quick answers on due diligence documents.
The title chain — confirming the seller/developer has clear, marketable title to the land, free of disputes or undischarged encumbrances. Without clear title, other approvals matter less.
RERA registration confirms a project is registered with the state regulator and has disclosed project details, timelines and land title as required under the RERA Act, 2016. It does not by itself guarantee construction quality or timely delivery.
A document showing whether the land has any registered legal or financial liabilities, such as a mortgage, attached to it over a specified period. A clean encumbrance certificate is an important part of due diligence.
Yes. A qualified property lawyer can verify these documents independently of the developer, which materially reduces your legal risk before you commit funds.
