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.

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.
