How to Check Property Ownership Online in Mumbai?

Property ownership in Mumbai can be verified online through the Mumbai Property Card portal. It covers city-surveyed properties, or the Maharashtra Registration Department's e-Search facility, which shows registered sale deeds. Before searching, keep ready details such as the CTS number, address, or document number. The Mahabhumi portal reveals the owner's name, property boundaries, and mutation records. Below, I have shared in detail how to check property ownership online in Mumbai.

What are the Steps to Check Property Ownership Online in Mumbai?

1. Identify whether the property falls under Mumbai City's Island City area (Colaba, Dadar, Byculla) or a suburban/converted zone.

2. For Island City properties, obtain the Mumbai City Property Card, which records the Cadastral Survey Number, owner details, and land type.

3. Visit the iGR Maharashtra portal or use a certified retrieval service by entering the CTS number and location.

4. For suburban or converted plots, check the 7/12 extract via the Mahabhulekh portal using district, taluka, and survey details.

5. Cross-verify the beneficial owner's name, mutation remarks, and any recorded court orders or restrictions.

6. Match these details against the Encumbrance Certificate for a complete ownership picture.

Beyond just the owner's name, a Property Card lists the total area, tenure type (owned or leased), ground rent dues, and mode of acquisition, whether through purchase, inheritance, or government grant. It also records mutation history, showing every recorded change in ownership along with dates, plus remarks flagging pending court cases or government restrictions on the property. I hope this helps.
