Buy & Sell Safely on BiharAssets
A listing is an opportunity to discover and connect — not a substitute for independent due diligence. Follow our safety protocols to protect yourself against fraud.
Core Marketplace Rule
The Golden Rule of Peer-to-Peer Transactions
BiharAssets is an online marketplace connecting buyers, owners, and advertisers. We do not hold transaction funds in escrow, verify physical titles at registry offices, or inspect machinery mechanics in person. Never transfer money until you have physically inspected the asset and reviewed original records with legal counsel.
Before Paying Any Money
Essential due diligence checklist
- Inspect the Asset in PersonAlways visit the plot, flat, vehicle, or machinery directly. Never finalize deals from photos alone.
- Verify Seller IdentityMeet the actual seller face-to-face and ask to view their government ID card matching the sale deed.
- Review Original DocumentsInspect original sale deeds (Kewala), mutation receipts (Dakhil Kharij), vehicle RC, or machine invoices.
- Verify Official RecordsConfirm registration validity at the local Sub-Registry or RTO office before transferring token advances.
- Check Encumbrance / HypothecationEnsure the property or commercial vehicle is free from bank mortgages or pending court attachments.
- Hire a Local Property AdvocateHave a licensed local lawyer conduct a 30-year title search and prepare formal agreements.
