Why you need it

When you need it

For agricultural land, where a postal address isn't enough — fix the revenue identity (village, hadbast, khewat/khatauni, khasra, area), cultivation, tenants, access, standing crop, and acquisition notices. Per s.54 TPA it doesn't convey title — verify the title chain/record of rights; don't assume mutation proves ownership. Land-use conversion should be a condition, not a promise.
