When you need it

A serious but preliminary written position before signing an agreement to sell or paying binding earnest money: the property, indicative price, deadline, diligence expectation, funding route and possession assumption — boundary-setting, not an accidental agreement to sell. Per s.54 TPA, even a sale contract creates no interest by itself.

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

No conveyance duty here — a preliminary record of negotiations/terms, not an ownership transfer. Wording that makes it a binding sale/transfer instrument changes that.

Registration

Not compulsory — a preliminary instrument transfers no ownership (s.54, TPA). The eventual agreement/conveyance is assessed on its own terms.

Notarisation

Not required; doesn't replace stamping or registration where needed.

Witnesses

Not required for a preliminary letter. For a binding term sheet or exclusivity/cost-sharing deal, two witnesses help.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST TO PURCHASE
1. PROPERTY AND PARTIES

Aarav Sharma expresses interest in purchasing from Harpreet Singh the property at Plot 218, Eco City 1, New Chandigarh, Punjab (Apartment): Residential plot measuring approximately 300 sq yd in Eco City 1..

2. INDICATIVE COMMERCIAL POSITION

The indicative purchase amount presently under consideration is ₹2,25,00,000 (Rupees Two Crore Twenty Five Lakh only). The EOI is dated 1 April 2026 and remains open for response until 2 April 2026.

Legal effect: Expression of interest only; no binding obligation to buy or sell.

3. DUE DILIGENCE

The buyer seeks Title and encumbrance review and proposes 15 days for that exercise before executing the definitive agreement. Buyer conditions presently identified: Clear title, approved building plan and no undisclosed mortgage.

Funding expectation: Own funds.

4. TOKEN, POSSESSION AND ITEMS

Token status: No token is paid with this EOI. Possession expectation: Vacant possession on conveyance. Included-items basis: Only immovable fixtures ordinarily passing with property are assumed.

Broker position: Transaction is being introduced through the named broker. Broker: Sachdeva Estates.

5. NO TRANSFER

Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 provides that a contract for sale does not, of itself, create any interest in or charge on the property. This preliminary EOI is drafted even earlier in the process and does not transfer ownership or possession.
