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 PUNJAB: unpublished — Article 5, Sch.I-A (entry 5(c) without possession, 5(cc) with); ask the tehsil Sub-Registrar.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.
