Documents and certificates about land are very important in legal and government processes. In Bihar, you must have a Land Possession Certificate (LPC) to prove you own the land and to do things related to it without problems. Let's see why this certificate is important
1. Proof of ownership
LPC proves who owns the land. This document is authorized by the government, which provides protection against any dispute or fraud.
2. Help in the inheritance process
When ownership of land is transferred from generation to generation, LPC ensures that the heir is legally recognized. Without this, there may be obstacles in inheritance proceedings.
3. Use in bank loans and economic transactions
If you want to take a loan from the bank by mortgaging the land, then LPC is required. This document proves your ownership and helps you get a loan.
4. Necessary for Purchasing and Selling Land
When you buy or sell land, you must have an LPC. This document shows that the seller truly owns the land and keeps the buyer safe from any legal problems.
5. Helpful in availing government schemes
Without LPC, you cannot avail many government schemes and subsidies related to land. This certificate ensures that you are eligible for government facilities.
6. Avoidance of legal disputes
Fraud and disputes are common in land related matters. Having LPC makes it clear that your right over the land is legal and valid, which can avoid unnecessary disputes.
