When you need it

For when due diligence reveals a material title defect preventing completion. TP Act 1882 s.55 puts disclosure duties on the seller, for defects the buyer couldn't discover with ordinary care. Identify the defect/evidence, when discovered, any cure opportunity, the rescission election, and refund demand — don't use 'defective title' as vague buyer's-remorse cover.

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 stamp duty — a one-sided election notice; no Sch.I-A article charges it (Art.17, for cancellation instruments, reaches only attested instruments). Plain paper or letterhead; keep proof of service. A later bilateral rescission/cancellation deed is separately stamped.

Registration

Not required for the notice; a registered agreement may still need a separate registered rescission/cancellation instrument after notice.

Notarisation

Notarisation is not required.

Witnesses

Witnesses are not required; reliable proof of service and title evidence are more important.
