What is Form I & XIV in Goa?

Definition

Form I & XIV is the Record of Rights for rural land in Goa, maintained by the Directorate of Settlement & Land Records (DSLR) under the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968. Form I records survey and land classification details; Form XIV records the occupants, tenants, and other rights holders.

Form I sets out the physical and revenue identity of the parcel. It carries the survey number, sub-division number, total area split into cultivable and uncultivable hectares, the tenure, the crop type (Rice, Khazan, Ker, or Morad), and the assessment, foro, or rent payable. Form XIV records the people side: who occupies the land, who holds tenancy under the Goa, Daman and Diu Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964, and which other rights have been registered. Together they tell every prospective buyer who controls the land and what claims sit on it.

Section 105 of the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968 gives every entry in the Record of Rights a presumption of correctness. The burden falls on whoever challenges the entry. That cuts both ways. If a tenant or mundkar is named in Form XIV, the land carries that encumbrance until a court order removes it. For urban properties in Panaji, Margao, Mapusa, and Vasco, Form D issued by the City Survey department is the equivalent. Always pull the latest manual register from the Mamlatdar alongside the digital DSLR copy.

State-specific note: The seller's name in Form XIV must match the title deed exactly, letter for letter. A spelling variation, an old maiden name, or a missing co-occupant entry blocks mutation and freezes the sale at the Sub-Registrar.

How to Get Form I & XIV in Goa: Step-by-Step

What Does Form I & XIV Contain in Goa?

A complete Form I & XIV extract carries eight information blocks split between Form I (survey identity) and Form XIV (rights and occupancy).

Field	What it means	What to check
Survey number and sub-division number	Identifies the exact parcel and its sub-division	Match with the seller's title deed and the village cadastral plan
Total area (cultivable and uncultivable)	Total parcel area in hectares, ares, and square metres, split by land use	Verify against physical site survey and the area cited in the Sale Deed
Tenure and crop type	Records whether the land is Rice, Khazan, Ker, or Morad	Khazan land carries CRZ and tidal restrictions; Ker and Morad have crop-specific rules
Assessment, Foro, and Rent	Annual revenue payable to the Government	Confirm dues are cleared before signing the agreement
Name of the occupant (Form XIV)	The person legally in possession (your seller)	Must match the title deed name letter for letter
Name of the tenant	Tenant under the Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964	Any tenant entry blocks free sale; Section 18 gives the tenant first right of purchase
Other rights	Mundkars, mortgage holders, registered easements	A name here is a future legal challenger; clear before signing
Mutation number	Reference to the mutation entry that placed each name on Form XIV	Cross-verify the underlying mutation order at the Mamlatdar to confirm it cleared without dispute

Good sign: The seller's name appears as sole occupant with no tenant or other rights entry, the survey number and area match the title deed exactly, and the latest mutation number is closed with no pending objection.

Common Issues With Form I & XIV in Goa

A complete Form I & XIV extract carries eight information blocks split between Form I (survey identity) and Form XIV (rights and occupancy).

Seller name spelling mismatch

The name in Form XIV must match the title deed exactly. A single Konkani-English transliteration variation (Borges versus Borgeskar, Shet versus Sheth) blocks mutation and forces correction proceedings.

Fix: Apply for name correction at the Mamlatdar with affidavit, ID proof, and the older register entry; only then sign the new sale deed.

Manual register and digital DSLR copy do not tally

Goa runs both a hand-written taluka register and a digital DSLR database. Stale digital records still occur, especially for properties where the latest mutation passed within the last twelve months.

Fix: Pull the manual Form I & XIV from the Mamlatdar and the digitally signed copy from goaonline.gov.in on the same day. Reconcile both before signing.

Tenant entry under Agricultural Tenancy Act

A name in the Tenant column means the holder is a deemed owner under the Goa, Daman and Diu Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1964. Sale without tenant consent or Mamlatdar permission is void, and Section 18 gives the tenant first right of purchase.

Fix: Demand a Mamlatdar order confirming tenant waiver of first right and either tenancy cancellation or written consent.

Mundkar or Other Rights entry

A mundkar (resident dwelling on the land with statutory occupancy rights) or any name in the Other Rights column carries a permanent claim. The Goa, Daman and Diu Mundkars (Protection from Eviction) Act, 1975 protects them against eviction.

Fix: Have the mundkar declare in writing before the Mamlatdar that they have no claim, or buy out their occupancy through a registered deed before paying the seller.

Pending mutation against a recent sale

Sometimes the seller has registered the deed but mutation is still pending, so the previous owner's name still appears in Form XIV. Under the 2016 procedural change, the Sub-Registrar must transmit the deed to the Mamlatdar within 3 days of registration.

Fix: Wait for mutation to complete and track it via the Mutation Status link on dslr.goa.gov.in. Do not pay full consideration until the new Form I & XIV reflects your seller cleanly.

Khazan or Communidade classification missed

Form I may classify the land as Khazan (tidal saline) or note a Communidade (village community) interest. Khazan attracts CRZ and tidal restrictions; Communidade land cannot be sold without the village body's resolution.

Fix: Read the Tenure and Crop Type columns. For Communidade land, demand the Aforamento or Alvara order from the village Communidade body before paying anything.

Why Form I & XIV Matters for Land Buyers in Goa

Without a clean Form I & XIV in your name, the title deed alone does not transfer effective ownership.

📋

Establishes possession and revenue identity Form I & XIV is the Goa equivalent of the 7/12 extract

It tells the buyer who currently holds the land, the area, the tenure, and the crop classification. Banks treat it as the foundational possession proof for any home loan.

⚠

Goa-specific: Section 105 presumption of correctness Under Section 105 of the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968, every entry in the Record of Rights is presumed correct

A tenant or mundkar entry stays binding until removed by a court order, regardless of what the title deed claims about ownership.

🏦

Required for home loans and mutation Every nationalised bank requires the digitally signed Form I & XIV before sanctioning a Goa property loan

After registration, mutation in your name on Form XIV is what actually completes the transfer in the Revenue Department's eyes.

🔍

Goa-specific: tenants and mundkars carry statutory protection Tenants under the 1964 Agricultural Tenancy Act and mundkars under the 1975 Mundkars Act both enjoy statutory occupancy that survives any sale

Form XIV is the only public document where these claims sit on record.

Red flag: A seller who hands over only a screenshot of the dslr.goa.gov.in preview, or refuses to obtain the digitally signed copy from goaonline.gov.in, is hiding either a tenant entry, a mundkar claim, or a name mismatch.
