Registration Process

The land / flat has to be registered in a sub registrar office and the following documents are required for registration :

Original title deed

Parent Documents

Torence Plan (optional) etc.,

Two witnesses are needed for registering the property

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 if 2000rs per sqft.
Stamp duty charges will be 2400 * 2000 * 0.08 = Rs 3,84,000

The Apartment registration process involves two steps

a. Construction agreement registration (Only for new apartments)

Construction agreement – 2% charges followed by

b. 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

Construction Agreement Charges

For remaining value i.e. (50,00,000 - 10,00,000 = Rs 40,00,000)

Construction agreement charges (2%) = Rs 80,000
