Eco City Plot Buying Checklist

Eco City Plot Buying Checklist

Whether you buy a resale plot in Eco City-1 or apply for a future Eco City-3 scheme, the same principle applies: go by GMADA records and independent verification, not by assurances. Use this checklist with an independent property lawyer.

1. Confirm the phase and plot

• Exact phase: Eco City-1, Eco City-2, Eco City-2 Extension or Eco City-3
• Sector, block and plot number
• Plot dimensions and area as per GMADA layout
• Land use: residential or commercial

2. Check the title chain

• Allotment letter in the original allottee's name
• Possession letter, if possession has been given
• Conveyance deed or registry, where executed
• Every transfer approval from GMADA in the chain
• Identity and consent of all current owners

3. Get a written dues statement

• Outstanding instalments and interest
• Transfer charges
• Enhancement charges, if any
• Non-construction or other charges applicable to the plot

4. Check for legal restrictions

• No mortgage or bank charge on the plot
• No court stay, attachment or dispute
• No transfer restriction or lock-in that blocks the sale

5. Inspect the site

• Boundaries match the layout
• Approach road, drainage, water, sewerage and electricity
• Levels compared with the road and drainage after rain

6. For new schemes

• Use only the official GMADA notice, brochure and payment process
• Old notices, such as the 289-plot Eco City-2 round, are not current windows

7. Payments and registration

• Pay by traceable banking channels only
• Keep the token small until checks are complete
• Register the transfer and pay stamp duty correctly

Red flags at a glance

• Seller unwilling to show originals before a token
• Allotment name differs from the seller with no transfer approval
• Large unexplained dues or enhancement charges
• Pressure to pay quickly or in cash
• "Eco City" land identified only by khasra numbers, not GMADA plot numbers

8. Treat future infrastructure as uncertain

A master-plan proposal or an agent's assurance is not the same as a completed service. Price the plot on what exists. Read is it safe and resale process.
