Area Overview
What makes Tilahri special
Tilahri is a village-origin settlement in the Civil Lines and Wright Town belt, the established heart of the city.
NEARLY A QUARTER OF THIS SHEET IS VILLAGE-ORIGIN, and the questions differ from the serviced belts. DIVERSION governs: agricultural land sold for housing without it is still agricultural on the record, whatever has been built on it.
THEN NAZUL, then the khasra and B-1 on MP Bhulekh, then whether the settlement falls under JMC, JDA or a panchayat. Add recorded right of way if the plot is reached across a neighbour’s field.

Pros and Cons of Renting in Tilahri
What you should know before moving
What's Great
- ✓Village-scale plots at well below city prices
- ✓Room to grow
What to Watch Out For
- On agricultural-origin land, confirm DIVERSION was granted — the MP equivalent of NA permission, and invisible on the ground
- CHECK THE NAZUL POSITION — nazul is government land held on long lease, and transfer needs permission rather than being a simple sale
- RECORDED RIGHT OF WAY — the access in use is not always the access recorded
- Establish JMC, JDA or Cantonment Board jurisdiction for the property
- Read the KHASRA and B-1 through MP Bhulekh before anything else
