# Property owner search API for India: find plots by holder name across states

A property owner search API finds the plots recorded under a holder name, so lenders, investigators and lawyers do not have to search state land portals one village at a time.

Reviewed: 13 Nov 2026

## Short answer

IndiaPropertyRegister searches plots by published holder name, optionally within a state or district, and returns each plot with village, share and an owner page listing every plot, city property and allotment under that name. It costs INR 0.40 per successful call with INR 50 free credit. Surepass and state portals such as UP Bhulekh also serve owner lookups.

## Which API does it?

**IndiaPropertyRegister owner search API** (JurisGrid score 77 of 100). Price: INR 0.40 per successful call, INR 50 free credit. INR 50 free credit on sign-up, no card needed.

- `GET https://indiapropertyregister.com/api/v1/owners/search?name={name}&state={lgd}`: Plots whose holder name starts with the name given
- `GET https://indiapropertyregister.com/api/v1/owner/{slug}`: Every plot, city property and allotment under one name slug
- MCP: https://indiapropertyregister.com/mcp
- Docs: https://indiapropertyregister.com/api/docs?ref=jurisgrid

```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $IPR_API_KEY" \
  "https://indiapropertyregister.com/api/v1/owners/search?name=ram%20kumar&state=6"

# then:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $IPR_API_KEY" \
  "https://indiapropertyregister.com/api/v1/owner/ram-kumar"
```

## What does it return?

- Holder name as published, share and relation
- Plot ipr_id and plot number
- Village, district and state with LGD codes
- owner_slug and owner pages whose Latin name matches (Indian script names are transliterated)
- City property records under the same name
- A match score and a note that a name is not a person

## Good for

- Lending: see what land a borrower or guarantor is recorded to hold
- Investigations and asset tracing by name
- Legal due diligence on a seller across districts
- Real estate research on land holdings of a name

## Limits

- A name is not a person: different people share names and one person is spelled differently across records, so check relation, share and village
- Search matches names that start with the query, and only where plots are loaded for the state
- Results are published revenue records, not proof of title or of current ownership

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I search land records by owner name across India?

Yes, within the states the register has loaded. /owners/search takes a name and an optional state or district and returns matching plots in one call, instead of searching a state portal village by village.

### How much does an owner name search cost with India Property Register?

Each successful call costs INR 0.40, including searches that find nothing; errors and not-found responses are free. New accounts get INR 50 of free credit, enough for about 125 calls, and top-ups are INR 500, INR 5,000 or INR 50,000 plus 18% GST.

### Can an AI agent do an owner name search?

Yes. India Property Register runs an MCP server at https://indiapropertyregister.com/mcp with tools such as ask, find_plot, get_plot, get_village_rates and list_rera_projects, and clients like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can sign in with OAuth. Tool calls are billed like API calls.

### Does a name match prove ownership?

No. The result shows a holder name recorded on a plot. It is not proof of title and not proof that two records are the same person.
