A few simple checks stop most property frauds. Watch for these red flags.

Red flags

  • The same property is being sold to several people (double sale).
  • Land is sold without a patta or approved map.
  • A project takes bookings without a RERA registration.
  • The seller asks for large cash payments.
  • Possession is repeatedly delayed with no written commitment.
  • A power of attorney appears forged or unverifiable.

How to protect yourself

  • Verify every document yourself, not only through the seller.
  • Check the project on the Rajasthan RERA website.
  • Pay through bank transfer and keep receipts.
  • Hire an experienced property lawyer, even if it costs a little more.
  • Do not pay a large advance before the legal check is complete.
If something feels rushed, slow down. A genuine seller will give you time to verify.

Five dangerous myths

Many losses come from believing that one approval makes a property safe. “JDA approved, so the title is clear”, “RERA registered, so there is no risk” and “the bank is lending, so the legal check is done” are all wrong. Read the five legal myths explained and follow the 12-step verification checklist.
