The Subsurface Easement Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in India when one party needs to establish legal rights to use space beneath another's property. This document is essential for infrastructure projects, utility installations, underground transportation systems, or any development requiring subsurface access. It must comply with Indian property laws, particularly the Indian Easements Act, 1882, and state-specific regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed technical specifications, survey plans, and access arrangements, making it vital for both urban development and rural infrastructure projects. It requires careful consideration of existing underground utilities, environmental impacts, and potential conflicts with mineral rights. The document must be properly registered and stamped according to state laws to be legally enforceable.
