Dholera Plot Buying Guide

The step-by-step process

1. Define budget and purpose

Decide whether you are buying to hold or to build, and set a realistic budget including duties and registration.

2. Shortlist by location and planning status

Prefer plots whose classification you can understand and verify. Location and phase matter more than the marketing label.

3. Verify survey number and SIR or TP status

Start from the exact village and survey number and confirm whether the plot is inside the notified SIR or a TP scheme.

4. Check the documents

Title chain, NA, encumbrances, layout approval and RERA registration where applicable.

5. Confirm access and demarcation

Confirm legal access and that the plot is physically demarcated on the ground.

6. Agree price and payment in writing

Get pricing, payment plan and what is included in writing before paying any amount.

7. Complete registration

Execute the sale deed and complete stamp duty and registration as applicable.

Use the checklist

1. Exact village and survey number

   Get the precise village name and survey or block number. Vague location wording is not enough to assess a plot.

2. Inside or outside the notified SIR

   Confirm whether the plot is inside the notified Dholera SIR, on its boundary or in a nearby village.

3. TP scheme and final-plot status

   Where applicable, check the Town Planning scheme and whether a final plot has been allotted.

4. Land-use classification

   Confirm the permitted land use (residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural).

5. NA conversion

   Check whether non-agricultural conversion has been granted where construction is intended.

6. Title chain

   Review the ownership history to confirm clear and marketable title.

7. Encumbrances

   Check for mortgages, charges, litigation or other encumbrances on the property.

8. Layout approval

   Confirm that the layout is approved by the competent authority.

9. Gujarat RERA registration

   Where the project qualifies, verify registration on the Gujarat RERA portal.

10. Road access and demarcation

    Confirm legal access and that the plot is physically demarcated on the ground.

11. Construction eligibility

    Establish whether you can construct now or must hold until the area develops.

12. Sale deed, stamp duty and registration

    Understand the full documentation, stamp duty and registration process before paying.

13. Developer claims vs official status

    Separate promotional claims from official infrastructure status, and verify anything material independently.
