Goa's land record for village land is Form I & XIV, kept by the Directorate of Settlement and Land Records (DSLR). It is viewed on dslr.goa.gov.in under Land Records (RoR) by taluka, village, survey number and sub-division number. Town properties in City Survey areas use Form D instead. The on-screen view is for information only, and a bank wants a digitally signed copy from goaonline.gov.in or a certified copy from the Mamlatdar.

Fees and steps below come from the DSLR home page and secondary guides, so follow the screen if it differs. The DSLR page itself shows static content last updated on 23 October 2024.

Form I & XIV, Form D and what they show

RecordWhat it showsNote

Form I & XIV shows possession, not absolute title. Title rests on the registered deed.

How to view Form I & XIV

  1. Open dslr.goa.gov.in. Older pages link egov.goa.nic.in/dslr.
  2. Click Land Records (RoR) among the service buttons, then Form I and XIV.
  3. Choose the taluka. The list has 12: Bardez, Bicholim, Canacona, Dharbandora, Mormugao, Pernem, Ponda, Quepem, Salcete, Sanguem, Sattari and Tiswadi.
  4. Enter the village, the survey number and the sub-division number exactly as the deed writes them. Village names repeat across talukas, and 45/1 is not 45/2.
  5. Fill the captcha and view the record, then read every column and the remarks.

What to look for in the entries

  • Occupant: the recorded holder. It should match the seller's papers, spelled the same way as the title deed.
  • Tenant: a tenant under the 1964 Tenancy Act is protected, and the tenant has the first right to buy.
  • Mundkar remarks: registered dwellers whose rights survive a sale.
  • Khazan land carries tidal and coastal restrictions, and Communidade land needs a resolution of the village body before sale.
  • Remarks and references to older files such as Communidade, Conservatoria or inventory papers each need tracing.

Form D for town properties

In City Survey areas, preview Form D on dslr.goa.gov.in using City, PT Sheet Number and Chalta Number. Certified copies come from the Inspector of Survey and Land Records, with a ₹5 court fee stamp per copy (unofficial figure) plus the City Survey fee. Panaji and Vasco apply at that office, and Margao and Mapusa through a Common Service Centre. A property on a boundary can appear in both Form D and Form I & XIV, so check both.

Mutation: notices and status

  • The DSLR site has Public Notices (Mutation), a table by taluka, village, survey and sub-division, mutation number and applicant, each with a View Notice link. Notices (Partition) is a separate button.
  • To follow a case, use Mutation Status. Choose the Form I and 14 option, pick the taluka, enter the mutation number and captcha and press View Status. It shows the applicant, request date, status and certification date.
  • The Sub-Registrar must send a registered deed to the Mamlatdar within 3 days (unofficial figure). Until the mutation is certified, the old owner may still show on Form XIV.
  • The fee is reported two ways. A State Information Commission order records a Salcete Mamlatdar's PIO giving ₹1,000 for one mutation. A guide lists slabs of ₹1,500 to ₹7,500 by area. Confirm with your Mamlatdar.
  • For Form D, mutation is filed with the Inspector, who issues notices, hears the parties and passes an order; records update 60 days after the order and appeals lie within 60 days (unofficial figures).
  • A name spelling that differs from the deed is corrected at the Mamlatdar, with an affidavit, ID proof and the older register entry.

Maps and contacts

  • The Maps button on the DSLR page leads to a Bhunaksha page. The site also lists a NAKSHA Pilot Programme and a Property Register, but their steps are not described.
  • No helpline number is shown on the DSLR page. It has a Service Centres menu and a Citizen's Charter. For Form I & XIV the Mamlatdar of the taluka, or the village Talathi, is the first stop.

Units and related pages

Form I gives area in hectares, ares and square metres, so no local unit is needed. Use the land area converter to compare with acres or bigha. The same details are needed for the Farmer Registry, a Kisan Credit Card and PM Kisan. Other states are on the land records page, and paperwork help is under land services.
