Encroachment
Definition: Unauthorised occupation of land beyond legal boundaries.
In depth
Encroachment is unlawful occupation of land beyond the legal plot boundary, either by adjacent owners or by third parties. Encroachment is detected by comparing the registered Khasra dimensions against the Bhu Naksha cadastral map and by physical site visit. Title Verification reports do not detect encroachment directly (it requires field inspection) but flag any boundary inconsistency between the Khatiyan and the Bhu Naksha.
