Verification guides
How to check a developer yourself
Three government portals hold everything that can be independently checked about a project in this region. These are walkthroughs of all three — and every worked example in them is one of our own registrations, because a guide that teaches you to audit its author is the only kind that proves anything.
3 portals, 26 numbered steps. Every label on every page was read off the live portal on . 4 further guides cover the records themselves — 27 more numbered steps and a 12-stage approval chain, read on .
The three portals
Two regulators and one land record
Between them these three hold everything about a project in this region that can be checked without asking the seller. Two of them are the real estate regulators — one per state, because the state line runs straight through this corridor. The third is where Karnataka's registered property records actually live.
The documents behind the register
Four guides to the records themselves
A register tells you a project exists and who registered it. It does not tell you what the land record proves, which approvals had to come first, what a search of the sub-registrar's index actually covered, or which of the two documents in front of you transfers anything. These four do.
Where these four cite a section of an Act without quoting it, they say so on the page. Only the provisions transcribed into this site’s own glossary are quoted as statutory text; everything else is our statement of a section’s effect, and the sub-clause lettering is for you to confirm against the bare Act. What each page could not establish is listed at the foot of that page rather than left out.
How these are written
Four rules, and the reason for each
A promoter publishing a guide to the register that regulates it has an obvious conflict of interest. The only useful response to that is to write the guide so that following it would expose us — and then to state the editorial rules in public so that a departure from them is visible.
Checked, not remembered
Every field label, column heading, button caption and menu path on these pages was read off the live portal on the date printed at the top of it. None of it was written from memory or copied from another guide.
Worked against us
Every search in these guides is run on a SUYUG registration number, and the values printed under what the register returned are what the register actually returned for us. Where a register spells our project differently from our own marketing, the register's spelling is what is printed.
Dated, because portals change
Government portals get redesigned, and click-by-click instructions go stale while continuing to sound authoritative. These carry the date they were checked, and they say what we could not verify rather than filling the gap.
No figure that moves by notification
No guidance value, no stamp duty rate, no registration percentage, no completion date — not even where the portal prints one on the screen we are describing. Each page names the authority that publishes the current figure and links to it.
There is a fifth rule that only shows up in what is missing. A register carries fields this website does not publish — completion dates most of all. Where a guide walks past one of those fields, it names the column and sends you to read the value on the register rather than reprinting it here. That is not coyness: this site publishes no possession, completion or handover date for any project, and a guide is not an exemption from a rule that applies to every other page.
The same goes for the one project where our own published record is thin. The registrations page prints only a registration number and an authority for The Big Banyan, because those are the only two fields transcribed from a primary source into this site’s data. The TNRERA record holds a good deal more. The guide says so, and points at the register, rather than quietly filling the gap from a page we read once.
After you have checked
Bring the numbers back and compare
These guides are only half the exercise. The other half is the page they are meant to be run against.
Every SUYUG registration, transcribed
The registrations page carries every number this company has, with the regulator that issued it, the promoter exactly as the certificate names it, the survey numbers and the validity date. It also lists the projects we have no registration to publish for, in the same roll, so the completeness of the page is checkable in a glance rather than trusted.
The vocabulary, defined
Khata, carpet area, UDS, EC, OC, CC, hobli, Index II — the words these portals use without explaining. Each is defined plainly on the glossary, with the statute’s own wording quoted wherever a statute defines the term and an honest “practice varies” wherever none does.
Found something that does not match?
If a value on a government register differs from a value on this website, the register is right and we are wrong. Tell us which page and which field, and we will check it against the certificate and correct it.
