Buy and own property with fewer portal surprises

Start with the land-record guide for your state so survey numbers and owner names match the sale deed. Pay property tax on the municipal portal next, then estimate stamp duty and TDS before you transfer funds. The TDS-on-property guide walks through Form 26QB when the purchase amount crosses the withholding threshold.

Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Delhi have mature online property-tax and record systems. Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, and West Bengal now have matching walkthroughs so you are not guessing which site holds Patta Chitta, AnyROR, Bhulekh, Dharani, or Banglarbhumi data.

Use the home loan EMI calculator when financing is part of the deal, and open the state hub pages for a shorter list of local guides. This hub stays English-only and links to official portals rather than middlemen, so you can complete common ownership tasks yourself.

A practical order for most purchases: online land-record screen, seller ID and deed match, certified extract if the lender asks, encumbrance certificate for the relevant years, clear property tax dues, then stamp duty and TDS estimates before you wire large amounts.

Portal outages and OTP delays are common near due dates. Start early, save dated screenshots and PDF receipts, and prefer gov.in domains even when a third-party site claims to be faster. If money left your account without a receipt, note the UTR and wait for reconciliation before you pay again.
