# Restricted land check API for India: forest, eco-sensitive, CRZ, SEZ and land acquisition by village

A restricted land check API tells you whether a village has forest, eco-sensitive zone, CRZ, SEZ or industrial estate land and any land acquisition notices naming it, for lenders, developers and lawyers.

Reviewed: 13 Nov 2026

## Short answer

IndiaPropertyRegister returns restricted land in a village (forest, eco-sensitive zone, CRZ, SEZ, industrial estate) with its share of the village, notified land, and land acquisition notices with survey numbers. It costs INR 0.40 per successful call with INR 50 free credit. We found no other seller with a published API for this check.

## Which API does it?

**IndiaPropertyRegister village layers 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.

## Who else sells a Restricted land check API in India?

| Provider | What they sell | Score | API | MCP | Price |

## Good for

- Lending: flag a village with forest or CRZ land before sanction
- Developers: screen land for acquisition notices
- Lawyers: check whether a survey number is named in a notification
- Solar and infrastructure site screening

## Limits

- The layer is by village with a share of the village, not a parcel boundary check unless a plot record carries a flag
- It reflects the notices and layers the register has loaded, so a missing flag is not clearance
- Not a legal opinion on whether the land can be sold or built on

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I check if land is forest or CRZ by API?

Yes at village level: /village/{lgd}/layers returns restricted land kinds with their share of the village, plus acquisition notices with survey numbers.

### How much does a restricted land check 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 a restricted land check?

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 clean result mean the land is free of restrictions?

No. It means none is recorded in what the register has loaded. Confirm with the forest, coastal or revenue authority.
