ABSTRACT
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into property transactions is transforming traditional real estate practices by enhancing efficiency, accuracy and transparency. In India, the use of AI-driven tools such as automated due diligence systems, predictive analytics and smart contracts is gradually reshaping the manner in which property is identified, evaluated and transferred. However, this technological shift raises complex legal questions concerning validity, accountability and regulatory adequacy within the existing legal framework. This paper critically examines the impact of AI on property transactions in light of contemporary Indian laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 and evolving digital governance mechanisms. The study adopts a doctrinal and analytical approach to evaluate how AI influences contractual processes, title verification and registration systems. It further explores challenges such as data privacy risks, algorithmic bias, cyber fraud and the absence of clear liability frameworks for AI-generated decisions. The paper also assesses whether existing property laws, including the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and the Registration Act, 1908, are equipped to address the complexities introduced by AI-based transactions. By identifying regulatory gaps and comparing emerging international practices, the study argues for a structured legal framework that recognizes AI-enabled transactions while ensuring accountability and legal certainty. It concludes that a balanced approach integrating technological innovation with robust legal safeguards is essential for the sustainable evolution of property law in India.
