Quick answers

Common questions about kerala documents.

How do I check land records in Kerala online?

+

Open the official Kerala land records portal (Kerala e-Search) and key in your village, taluka / tehsil and survey or khata number. The portal is captcha-protected with no public API, so the certified copy is downloaded after an OTP / login on the portal itself.

How do I search a RERA project in Kerala?

+

Use the Kerala RERA portal (Kerala RERA) - search by project name, promoter or RERA registration number to see sanctioned plans, carpet area, OC status and complaint history.

How do I find the stamp duty rate in Kerala?

+

Stamp duty in Kerala is set by the state's registration department and varies by district and whether the area is municipal or rural. Use the official portal (IGR Kerala) or ask our team - we price the statutory cost for any Maharashtra / Pune plot before quoting.

Do government portals work for Kerala from outside India?

+

Most state portals work only from India (they block foreign IPs and need an Indian mobile number for OTP). If you are an NRI, use DigiLocker and UMANG which work worldwide, or authorise a local representative.

Building from abroad

NRIs: you can handle kerala documents from anywhere.

Most state portals need an Indian mobile number for OTP. The two that work worldwide are DigiLocker (certified digital copies of your documents) and UMANG. For land and permission paperwork, a power of attorney to a local representative is the standard route - that is what we use for NRI clients building in Pune and Baramati.
