A Sale Deed is a crucial legal document that facilitates the transfer of property ownership from the seller to the buyer. It serves as official proof of ownership and is mandatory for property registration under the Indian Registration Act, 1908.
This deed includes:
In Delhi and other states, the deed must be registered with the Sub-Registrar of Assurances, accompanied by necessary documents like e-stamp paper, demand drafts, and ID proofs.
Registration of the sale deed:
With digital platforms like Delhi Online Registration Information System, the process is now streamlined and efficient. A registered sale deed ensures the buyer's ownership is legally recognized, while the seller confirms compliance with state property transfer laws.
A Sale Deed is a legal document that confirms the transfer of property ownership from the seller to the buyer. Also called a conveyance deed, it grants the buyer legal rights over the property and acts as proof of the transaction. Without it, the buyer cannot claim ownership. It contains key details like the property description, terms of sale, and payment terms, ensuring both parties have a clear and binding record.
Before drafting a sale deed, confirm the property is free from legal claims or loans. This can be done by checking the encumbrance status at the Sub-Registrar’s office. A properly executed and registered Sale Deed protects both the buyer and seller.
As per the Indian Registration Act, 1908, registration is mandatory for all property sales above ₹100. Under Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act and Section 17 of the Registration Act, the deed must be registered to be valid. Without registration, the sale is not recognized, and legal ownership cannot be claimed.
Execution occurs when the buyer and seller sign the deed in front of two witnesses. Ownership is officially transferred only after both parties sign and the document is registered. The buyer must ensure the property title is clear before signing.
