Property Registration
What Is Property Registration?
In India, property registration is mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908. The transfer of immovable assets must be legally recorded to establish ownership rights from the execution date of the deed.
Required Documents
Tentative list of documents required for registration.
Registration Process
The documents must be submitted to the office of the Sub-Registrar of Assurances within whose jurisdiction the property is situated.
The seller and purchaser, along with two witnesses, must be present during registration. All parties must carry valid identity proof such as Aadhaar Card, PAN Card or other government-issued documents.
If someone is acting on behalf of another person, a valid Power of Attorney must be produced.
In case a company is involved, the authorised representative must provide a board resolution, letter of authority or power of attorney.
Important Information
The original property documents and proof of stamp duty payment must be presented before registration.
The Sub-Registrar verifies whether the appropriate stamp duty has been paid according to the applicable state regulations.
Stamp duty is a tax paid to obtain legal ownership, while registration charges are fees paid to officially record the transaction in government records.
Stamp duty rates vary from state to state and in many states women receive rebates or concessions.
Witnesses are an important part of the registration process and must provide identity and address proof. Their biometric verification may also be conducted.
