Nagaland land records & documents
What each Nagaland land document is, and how to get it from Nagaland land-records office before you join the sheets in the editor.
Plot sketch
The drawing a plot comes with. Nagaland has no state-wide cadastral map series, so the map of a holding is a sketch: drawn by a surveyor for a sale, attached to a land holding certificate, or, in the revenue areas around Dimapur, taken from the Deputy Commissioner's land records. Adjoining plots are usually on separate sketches, which is why they need joining.
How to get it: Collect the sketch on the deed and the one with the certificate, then ask the Village Council whether it holds a sketch of the plot or its neighbours. In revenue areas, ask the Deputy Commissioner's land records branch for the plot's sheet by its plot number.
Land holding certificate
A certificate from the Village Council confirming who holds a plot under customary law and describing its boundaries. It is the closest thing to a record of rights for most land in the state, and it is what a bank or an office asks to see.
How to get it: From the Village Council of the village where the land lies, often signed by the Gaon Bura as well. Banks and offices commonly want it countersigned by the administrative officer of the circle. Ask the circle office which form it accepts.
Patta (revenue areas)
In and around Dimapur and some other areas where land came under revenue administration, land is held on a patta with a plot number, recorded in the Deputy Commissioner's land records. There, a plot has a number and a sheet in a way customary land does not.
How to get it: From the Deputy Commissioner's office for the district, quoting the plot number and the village as the patta gives them. Ask for every sheet the plot and its neighbours fall on.
Indigenous inhabitant certificate
The certificate that shows a person is an indigenous inhabitant of Nagaland. Transfers of land to people who are not indigenous inhabitants are restricted, so the parties' status is part of whether a transaction can go ahead at all.
How to get it: Issued by the Deputy Commissioner's office. What is permitted in a particular case is a question for that office and an advocate, settled before any money changes hands.
