When you need it

For substituting a new buyer into an existing agreement to sell before conveyance — more than assigning a bare booking, since it carries defined rights/obligations. Identify the source agreement, why assignment is permitted, which rights move, pre/post liability, seller/promoter recognition, and handover of originals/payment records.

Per s.54 TPA, the original created no property interest — this assigns contractual rights, not title.

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

Duty depends on the rights assigned and true legal effect — not a full conveyance unless warranted. Stamp before signing (s.17); if unclear which article applies, get it adjudicated by the Collector first (s.31). Unstamped: inadmissible until duty+penalty paid (s.35).

Registration

Register if it concerns registered rights, or is itself compulsorily registrable.

Notarisation

Not required here; it doesn't replace needed registration.

Witnesses

Both sign; two witnesses help, promoter process permitting.
