The Land / Flat has to be registered in a Sub-Registrar office, and the following documents are required:

• Original Title Deed
• Parent Documents
• Two witnesses are needed for registering the property,
• Torence Plan (optional) etc.,

The Land Registration Process is simple by just paying the stamp duty charges i.e. 8% (including registration fees) of total guideline value of the land.

Example:

If the total extent of the land is 2400 sqft and the guideline value is ₹2000/sqft:

* Stamp Duty Charge = 2400 × 2000 × 0.08 = ₹3,84,000

Construction agreement registration ( Only for new Apartments)

• Construction agreement : 2% charges followed by
• UDS registration : 8% stamp duty including Registration Fees

Example (only for apartment registration)
• Total saleable area of flat = 1000 sq.ft and U.D.S = 500 Sq. ft.
• Guideline value of the property = 2000 rs/sq.ft and the total price is 50 lacs
• U.D.S Registration charges = 2000 *500 = Rs 10,00,000
• * Stamp duty charges ( 8% ) = 10,00,000 * 0.08 = Rs 80,000

• For remaining value i.e. (50,00,000 - 10,00,000 = Rs 40,00,000)
• Construction Agreement Charges (2%) = ₹40,00,000 × 0.02 = ₹80,000
