1. Cross-Referencing Seller Allotment with Official Layout Plans
Many resale disputes arise from miscommunication between street names and pocket plot numbers. Every DDA sector is divided into formal pockets (e.g. Pocket 1 to Pocket 28 in Sector 24), and each pocket has an immutable geometric layout plan sanctioned by DDA’s planning wing.
- Confirm the sector, pocket, and plot number matches the official DDA blueprint on PlotBook.
- Verify the exact street width fronting the plot (e.g. 9 metre, 12 metre, 18 metre, or 24 metre road).
- Check the adjoining plot numbers on both flanks and the rear property line.
2. Verifying Road Widths and Corner Premiums
Corner plots and plots on 12m+ arterial roads command a 15% to 25% premium in Rohini. However, unregistered encroachments or informal alterations by neighboring owners can compromise road access.
- Check the sanctioned road width on the layout plan vs. ground reality.
- Confirm side setbacks and corner splays (chamfers) designed for turning visibility.
- Inspect utility easements: transformer installations, water booster stations, and sewer main alignments.
3. Checking DDA Allotment vs. Freehold Conversion Status
Most plots in Rohini were originally allotted under 99-year perpetual leases. Freehold conversion via a Conveyance Deed executed by DDA gives the owner absolute ownership rights.
- Freehold plots carry a registered Conveyance Deed with sub-registrar book entries.
- Leasehold plots require formal DDA permission to sell or conversion application prior to final registry.
- Ensure the chain of title (all prior sale deeds from original allottee) is unbroken.
