Important Tips

1. Goa uses Portuguese-era survey numbers — These are different from the khasra/khata system used in other Indian states. Ensure you have the correct survey number.
2. Check Form XIV for latest ownership — Form I shows original survey data. Form XIV reflects all mutations and the current owner.
3. Verify before purchasing property — Always check Form I, Form XIV, and registration records before buying any property in Goa.
4. Communidade land caution — Some land in Goa belongs to Communidades (village communes). Such land has special restrictions. Verify land classification carefully.
5. Get professional help for registration — Goa's property laws have unique aspects due to Portuguese legal heritage. Consult a local lawyer for property transactions.
