RTC - Record of Rights, Tenancy & Crops
What is RTC (Record of Rights, Tenancy & Crops)?
RTC, also known as Pahani, is a vital land record document issued by the Karnataka government. It details the legal rights of the landowner, tenancy status, soil type, crop patterns, and land use.
It is primarily used to establish ownership and agricultural use. This document is necessary during land sale, mutation, or for applying for bank loans on the land.
“RTC is more than just a record—it is your official proof of land ownership and usage.”
Always ensure your RTC document is up to date, especially after a property transfer or crop change. It helps avoid disputes and proves your rightful possession.
