If you are interested in purchasing some properties in Delhi, this guide intends to inform you, how you can register your property to have legal authority over it. It takes you through the process involved in registering a property in Delhi, the city that is home to many large multinational corporations and government offices. This guide will take you through each step of the registration process, so that you can approach it with ease.
Registering Property in Delhi
You need to
apply to the Sub Registrar's office of the concerned district in Delhi, in
order to register your property. The response time on registration is usually
15 days or a little more, if you proceed using paper documentation. If you wish
to use the online registration system recently introduced by the Delhi
Government, you will receive a response on the day you file your application
itself.
Documents Required
The
documents required to register properties
in Delhi can be either Sale Deed, a Will, a Conveyance Deed, a Gift Deed or Share Certificates.
The registration fee for all the documents, except
for a will, remains the same, 1 per cent of the total value, with an additional
charge of Rs. 100. The registration fee for a will is Rs. 600. The stamp duty differs
for each document, and is based on gender.
The Registration Procedure for Sale Deeds
If you have a sale deed, the
following steps will guide you on how to go about registering your property:
Details Required
You need to provide the
details which will be applicable to your property, such as the date of
purchase, the property transfer and inheritance issues, the legal ownership
document, the proof of payment of all dues such as water bills and property
taxes, and the clearance certificate from the urban land ceiling authorities.
Drafting a Legal Agreement
The next step you have to
take, is drafting a legal agreement. This has to be made on a stamp paper, and
you have to make an advance payment to the vendor. Make sure you mention a time
period for the registration.
Completion of Registration
A property registration
attorney will prepare the document, and the final deed will be printed with
stamp duty certificates.
The final step involves the
stamping, execution and registration of the document at the sub registrar's
office. For this step, you need to be present at the office with the buyer and
two witnesses. You will also need your identification documents for completing
this step.
Once this is completed, the
documents will be handed over to you in 30 minutes, after the submission of the
payment receipt.
Online Registration in Delhi
You can register your properties in Delhi quickly,
by using the online registration portal that ensures transparency in the
process.
Your registration will be
completed on the day you file an application.
Filing an Application
To file an application, you
must have a pre-fixed appointment online or over the phone. This is so that you
receive a unique appointment number, date and time to approach the sub
registrar’s office. You can reach out to the appointed officials online,
through the resource department website and receive your documents on the same
day.
You can register 32 different
property document types at the sub-registrar office. The office will have the
details about your registration process, along with the forms required and the
document set you need to provide. You can use the online calculator provided to
determine the stamp duty based on the details you provide. You can purchase
e-stamp paper, once the stamp duty is calculated.
Verification Process
Once you complete this, you
can head to the sub-registrar's office, where your application is checked.
Then, someone will direct you to the correct representative. You have to enter
with an electronic access card, after which your documents and identity will be
verified. You need to clear this step in order to appear in front of the sub
registrar.
Completion of Registration
You will receive your
registration documents in the evening, between 4-6 pm. This process makes the
registration of property in Delhi much
more user friendly, easy and transparent.
