Sir/Madam,
I, __________, __________, residing at __________, contactable at __________, respectfully request a certificate that the property described below is situated within the lal dora / abadi deh of Village __________.
- THE SITE
Village __________, Tehsil __________, District __________. __________.
Description: __________.
- PURPOSE
The certificate is required for __________.
- OFFICE APPLIED TO
This application is made to __________.
PRAYER
It is respectfully prayed that a certificate be issued confirming that the site described above lies within the lal dora / abadi deh of the village, classified in the revenue record as gair mumkin abadi, on payment of the prescribed fee, and that the applicant be informed if a site visit or local verification is required before the certificate can be issued.
LEGAL BASIS AND WHAT THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
The lal dora is the boundary drawn round a village's inhabited site at settlement, separating it in the shajra and the revenue record from the surrounding agricultural khasra numbers classified for cultivation; the abadi deh inside it is entered as gair mumkin abadi and is not subject to the harvest-wise girdawari that applies to agricultural khasra numbers. The classification, and this certificate confirming it, is a fact about how the site is recorded — it is not a title document, does not by itself transfer, create or confirm ownership, and does not by itself dispense with whatever registration, building or connection formality otherwise applies to the purpose the certificate is sought for; the applicant should confirm those requirements separately with the bank, scheme office or authority the certificate is being produced to.
Where the site has already been surveyed and issued a property card under the central SVAMITVA scheme, that card is a more complete record than this certificate and should be produced instead wherever it is available.
Yours faithfully,
__________
