Understanding Manipur Land Records
Property transactions in Manipur are legally governed by the state's specific Land Revenue Code. While modern urban deeds (Sale Deeds) often use Metric units like Hectares or Imperial units like Acres, the ancestral land records—specifically the Record of Rights (RoR)—often retain traditional measurements.
