Registration of Deed

A Property registration deed is the final agreement signed between two parties. Once the property is registered in the name of the buyer, the buyer becomes the legal owner of the property. This agreement is also known as the purchase/land deed which needs to 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 registration fee payable is more than of 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.
