Registration of Deed

A property registration deed is a final agreement signed between two parties. Once the property is registered in the buyer’s name, the buyer becomes the legal owner of the property. This agreement is also known as the purchase/land deed, which must be registered with the government.

The procedure for registering a purchase/land deed can be seen here. Further, the e-appointment for registering this deed can be done on the same website.

e-Payment for registering the deed is compulsory if the stamp duty payable on the deed exceeds Rs.10,000/- or the registration fee payable is more than Rs.5,000/- or both.

This registration procedure is integrated with the Income Tax Department so that PAN verification of the parties involved at the time of registering the deed is possible.
