Where the records come from
The licence register
Department of Town and Country Planning, Haryana
The whole state register, read at once: licence number, licensee, colony, purpose, area, sectors, development plan, date of grant and the “Valid/Renewal Upto” date, with the documents the register links against each licence: building plans (BR-III), occupation certificates (BR-VII) and completion certificates (LC-IX).

A record counts as this register’s own only when it was read from tcpharyana.gov.in.
How matching works
A licence number confirms a row on your list only when it appears once in the register, exactly one project’s HARERA application declares it, and one more thing on the row agrees.
Licence numbers repeat across the register and carry no developer, so a licence on its own is never a match. Every project that declares it is shown, for a person on your team to choose.
A licence number that is also a HARERA registration number cannot confirm a row.
A licence’s validity is the date at the head of its “Valid/Renewal Upto” entry, compared with the date in India on the day you look. Anything the register writes after that date is kept as written.
What it leaves out
- Haryana only.
- The register groups licences under one case and prints the group’s documents once. Bhumiq attaches them to every licence in the group, as the register does. So a certificate linked against a licence can be addressed to someone else, such as a school built under a developer’s licence. Bhumiq says what the register links against a licence. It never says a project was signed off.
- An occupation certificate is issued on Form BR-VII by whichever authority covers the building’s location. This register holds the ones DTCP issued for its licensed colonies. The HARERA page names the other issuers.
- A read in which more than 5% of rows fail the licence-number check, or in which no row can be read, is refused, and the previous read is kept.
What has been measured
- Matching a list to the registers
tried: 5219 distinct numbers in every notation, 129490 rows WRONG HIGH: 0 in 129490 rows
- Measured on 3 October 2026 by Bhumiq’s matching evaluation, run over a synthetic register built to the shape of the live one (2,208 projects, 2,190 registration numbers, 3,140 licence numbers, every number in every notation the registers use). None of the 129,490 rows was matched with High confidence to the wrong entry. Another 90,131 rows were written to trip the rules, 31 kinds in all (a mistyped number, a licence number in the registration column, two companies sharing a name, a district cell that names no district), and none of them reached High. These are counts, not a rate. They show the matching rules hold at that scale. They do not show that Bhumiq’s copy of the registers is right: the same evaluation has not yet been run against the live register.
