- The Cost: Generally, if you go through the government Revenue Office (Tehsildar), application fees are nominal (ranging between a few hundred rupees to thousand rupees). However, the process may take longer than usual. Surveys through a Licensed Private Surveyor or private DGPS/Total Station surveys can range anywhere from ₹3,000 to ₹25,000+ depending on various factors such as the size of the plot, location of the plot, availability of the records or the technology used.
- Is It Worth It? Absolutely. Survey documents and official land maps are essential evidence when you need to prove ownership. They pin down the exact physical boundaries, measurements, and location of your property. In fact, using these official records to physically secure your land with boundary walls or fences is one of the best ways to stop neighbours from slowly creeping onto your property in the first place.
