Register your Property

As per Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, all transactions that involve the sale of an immovable property for a value exceeding Rs 100, should be registered. This effectively means that all the transactions of sale of immovable property have to be registered, as no immovable property can be purchased for merely Rs 100. Additionally, all transactions of gift of an immovable property, as well as lease for a period exceeding 12 months, are also mandatorily required to be registered. In special cases, when a party to the transaction cannot come to the sub-registrar’s office, the sub-registrar may depute any of its officers to accept the documents for registration, at the residence of such person. The term ‘immovable property’ includes land, buildings and any rights attached to these properties.

For sale deed, conveyance deed and gift deed, stamp duty and transfer duty of 6% and 4% will be levied on men and women respectively. There will also be a registration fee of 1% on the value of the property, and Rs. 100 for pasting charges. All people concerned in a transaction should be present. For registration of will, there is no stamp duty, but you will have to pay a registration fee of Rs. 600. Registering your will is not compulsory. For registration of sales deed and will, you need two witnesses with proofs of identity. For the transfer of shares, the stamp duty is Rs. 1 per 1000. Please note Sale deed transfers the ownership of the property after sale. Conveyance deed, in this context, refers to conversion of lease hold property to free hold property. Gift deed refers to the transfer of legal title over the property which is being gifted.
