The 12-Step Checklist
Verify the RERA registration on the UP-RERA portal
Every legitimate residential or commercial project in Uttar Pradesh must be RERA-registered. Krishna Bhumi's three RERA numbers are: apartments UPRERAPRJ5812, villas UPRERAPRJ6039, and Krishna Bhumi Arcade UPRERAPRJ375571/03/2024.
Visit the UP-RERA website (up-rera.in), search the project number, and confirm: registered project name, developer name, registration date, project status, and approved layout. Cross-check this against what the seller / agent tells you.
Read the registered project brochure end-to-end
RERA-registered projects file an official brochure with the regulator that includes layout, unit configurations, approved amenities, and timelines.
Ask the developer for the RERA-filed brochure (not the marketing brochure — they can differ). Verify configurations, sizes (carpet area, super built-up area), and amenities match what's being sold.
Check the latest published phase status
Krishna Bhumi has phased delivery: Govardhan Vas (Completion Certificate received, 99% sold), the villa phase (CC received, 100% sold out), Tulsi Vas and Yamuna Vas under construction, and Krishna Bhumi Arcade with a Q4 2026 possession target. Status varies materially across phases.
Confirm in writing which specific phase your unit is in, its current status, and the committed possession date — not the marketing assumption.
Inspect the title deed and chain of ownership
A clear, unbroken title chain is the single most important legal protection for the buyer. Any break or dispute in the chain creates risk.
Engage an independent property lawyer to issue a title search certificate covering at least 30 years of ownership history, mutation records, and encumbrance certificate verification.
Confirm authority approvals — including MVDA for commercial
Krishna Bhumi's commercial offering (the Arcade) is registered with the Mathura Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA) in addition to UP-RERA. Residential offerings are registered with UP-RERA. Verify all applicable approvals.
Ask for the project's approved sanctioned plan, completion certificate (if applicable), and any other municipal NOCs. Confirm the unit you are buying matches the sanctioned plan.
Confirm bank-loan eligibility upfront
Krishna Bhumi has documented that SBI, HDFC, and ICICI offer home loans for the project, including NRI loan options. Loan availability changes year-to-year, and individual eligibility varies.
Get a pre-approved loan-in-principle from at least one bank before signing the booking application. Eligibility, interest rate, and tenure depend on your income, credit score, and the bank's current real-estate norms.
For NRIs — confirm documentation requirements
NRIs can purchase apartments and commercial property at Krishna Bhumi on presenting an Indian passport or a PIO/OCI card at registration. Foreign nationals without an Indian passport or PIO/OCI card cannot purchase here.
Ensure you have the required document set: Indian passport (or PIO/OCI card), PAN card, and proof of address. For loan applications via NRI accounts, your bank may also require salary slips, employment letter, and foreign-currency income proof.
Understand the full payment structure
Krishna Bhumi has published payment components: Basic Selling Price; optional Car Parking (optional for studio) and PLC (Preferential Location Charge for floor / view); one-time Club Membership and Maintenance Deposit; other charges (Electrification, DG Set, EDC, Legal Fees); government charges (Stamp Duty, Registration).
Ask for the complete cost sheet in writing — not just the base price. Statutory charges (stamp duty, GST as applicable) are paid in addition to the developer's components.
Verify the developer's track record
Krishna Bhumi is developed by Infinity Group Kolkata: founded 1998, 6.5 million sq.ft. delivered, 16+ awards, 10+ green-building projects, CRISIL A+ corporate rating. In Vrindavan itself, the apartments (UPRERAPRJ5812) and villas (UPRERAPRJ6039) have Completion Certificates received.
Cross-verify the developer's delivered projects from third-party sources (RERA portal, news archives, property aggregator listings). A delivered track record matters more than promised amenities.
Visit the site (in person or remotely)
No spec sheet substitutes for seeing the actual development, the on-campus amenities (Jivagram wellness centre, elder care facility), the gated security setup, the JLL-managed common areas, and the surrounding neighbourhood.
If you cannot visit Vrindavan in person, request a recent dated video walkthrough, drone footage of the township, and Google Maps Street View confirmation of the location on Bhakti Vedanta Swami Marg.
Validate the connectivity claims independently
Krishna Bhumi publishes specific distances: NH-2 2 km, Yamuna Expressway 12 km, Vrindavan Railway Station 3 km, Mathura City 10 km, Delhi Airport <3 hours by road. The upcoming Mathura Airport is announced.
Open Google Maps and confirm the distances and drive-times for yourself from the project's pin location. For NRI buyers routing via Delhi, the under-3-hours-by-road claim is critical for site visits and second-home use.
Document everything in writing — including possession status
Verbal commitments don't bind anyone. RERA-registered projects must commit possession dates in writing.
Get the following in writing: confirmed unit number, sale agreement, RERA registration reference, possession date, payment schedule, amenity list, and parking allocation. Never sign on a 'we'll send the agreement later' basis.

Important note
This checklist is general due-diligence guidance, not legal advice. Engage an independent property lawyer for title search and contract review before any property purchase in India. Krishna Bhumi has published rental-yield expectations (6.5–8% residential, 8–12% commercial) — these are project published expectations, not guarantees.
