Buying Land Is Simple When You Know the Steps
Many first-time plot buyers in Lucknow feel uncertain about the buying process. How do I check if the documents are correct? What happens at registration? When do I get possession? How does installment payment work? This guide answers all of these questions with a clear step-by-step process using Ashoka Developer’s Faizullaganj plot project as the reference example.
Step 1 — Identify Your Budget and Plot Size
Start with what you can afford, not with the ideal plot you want. Calculate your total available budget including the plot price plus stamp duty, registration, and any construction you plan. For Ashoka Developer’s Faizullaganj project:
- 500 sq. ft. plot at Rs. 12.5 lakh + Rs. 87,500 stamp duty (male) + registration = approximately Rs. 13.5 lakh total
- 1,000 sq. ft. plot at Rs. 25 lakh + Rs. 1.75 lakh stamp duty (male) + registration = approximately Rs. 27 lakh total
If you want to use the installment option, calculate the down payment you can pay immediately and confirm with Ashoka Developer (7905278135) whether the installment plan works within your monthly income.
Step 2 — Visit the Site
Always visit the actual plot location before committing. At Ashok Vihar Colony, Faizullaganj, check the following:
- How is the main road access to the colony?
- Is the colony layout visible and organised — are internal roads laid?
- What is the condition of neighbouring plots and surrounding area?
- How far is it from Jaglal Petrol Pump (the stated landmark)?
- What is the surrounding residential and commercial activity like?
- Does the stated Green Corridor Road connectivity exist and is it accessible?
A site visit confirms that the real plot matches what was described. Call Ashoka Developer at 7905278135 to schedule a visit.
Step 3 — Review and Verify Documents
Request all key documents from Ashoka Developer and verify them:
- RERA registration number — verify at up-rera.in
- Title document — confirm ownership chain and no disputes
- Layout approval from LDA or relevant authority
- Land use certificate — confirms residential or commercial designation
- No encumbrance certificate — confirms no loans or legal claims on the land
If you are not confident reviewing these yourself, engage a property lawyer for Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000 to do a thorough document check. This is money well spent on a Rs. 12.5 to 25 lakh purchase.
Step 4 — Sign the Sale Agreement
Once documents are verified and you are ready to proceed, a sale agreement is signed. This agreement specifies the total price, payment schedule (or installment terms), possession date, and any penalties for breach by either party. Read every clause carefully. Specifically check:
- Total price and any additional charges mentioned
- Installment schedule and due dates if using kisto option
- Possession date — when the plot will be formally handed over
- What happens if you default on an installment
- Registration timeline — when the plot will be registered in your name
Step 5 — Pay and Register
After signing the agreement and completing the payment as per the schedule, you proceed to registration at the sub-registrar’s office. Bring all documents, stamp duty payment proof, and identity documents for both buyer and seller. The registration process confirms you as the legal owner of the plot. After registration, you hold the registered sale deed — your primary proof of ownership.
Step 6 — Take Possession and Plan Construction
After registration, take formal possession of the plot. Verify the physical boundaries match the documentation. Once in possession, you can begin the building plan approval process with the relevant municipal authority and start planning your construction timeline.

FAQ
Q: How long does the plot registration process take in Lucknow?
A: The actual registration appointment at the sub-registrar’s office takes 1 to 3 hours. However, scheduling the appointment can take 1 to 2 weeks, and document preparation before the appointment takes 3 to 7 days. Total timeline from ready-to-register to registration complete is typically 2 to 4 weeks. Payment of stamp duty must be done before the registration date.
Q: Do I need to be physically present in Lucknow for registration?
A: Yes, both buyer and seller must be physically present at the sub-registrar’s office on the registration date, along with two witnesses. If the buyer cannot be present due to being in another city or abroad, a registered Power of Attorney (PoA) holder can represent the buyer. Setting up a PoA takes additional time and legal work.
Q: What documents do I bring for plot registration?
A: Bring: the original sale agreement, identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN), address proof, passport-size photographs, stamp duty payment receipt (purchased from designated bank), PAN cards of both buyer and seller, and any NOCs required for the specific property. The sub-registrar’s office may require additional documents depending on the specific case.
Q: Can an NRI buy a plot in Lucknow without being physically present?
A: An NRI can purchase a plot in India using a Power of Attorney (PoA) given to a trusted person in India. The PoA must be notarised and, if executed abroad, attested by the Indian embassy or consulate. The PoA holder can sign documents and attend registration on the NRI’s behalf. Most transactions are completed successfully through this arrangement.
