When you need it

For a plot — identity needs more than an address: allotment/freehold status, plot number, area, boundaries, authority conditions, transfer permission, dues and demarcation. Per s.54 TPA, this creates only a right to a future conveyance, not ownership.

Many Punjab/Chandigarh plots trace to authority allotments where transfer charges/NOCs affect completion — make these express conditions.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

CHANDIGARH: Item 22 — 5% of the token/earnest money (not full price), plus 1% registration (cap Rs 10,000) and Rs 20 pasting; confirm at the Sub-Registrar, Sector 17. PUNJAB: unpublished — Article 5, Sch.I-A (entry 5(c) without possession, 5(cc) with); ask the tehsil Sub-Registrar. Possession passing either place lets the Collector charge the conveyance/sale rate and compels registration (s.17(1A)). Stamp before signing — unstamped is inadmissible until duty plus penalty is paid (s.35).

Registration

Earnest money alone isn't registrable; a s.53A (TPA) transfer contract is, compulsorily, under s.17(1A) Registration Act. RERA: also s.13.

Notarisation

No substitute for compulsory registration; creates no enforceability alone.

Witnesses

Two witnesses help evidence execution, not replace registration.
