How PropertyRisk handles Sanctioned Building Plan
PropertyRisk extracts every field from your uploaded Sanctioned Building Plan using multilingual OCR (English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu) and a Karnataka-specific schema for this document type. Each finding cites the exact page and clause it came from in the original document.
On every case where this document is uploaded, PropertyRisk reconciles its contents against the rest of the document chain — sale deeds, RTC, mutation extracts, khata — and against live government portal records to surface inconsistencies a non-expert would miss.
