Partition Deed by Metes and Bounds

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

OPERATIVE EFFECT

The parties hereby partition the identified property in accordance with the allotments and boundaries above, subject to registration and any required authority approval.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Article 45 applies to an instrument of partition. Section 17(1)(b) requires registration; section 23 gives four months for presentation and section 25 provides the limited further-period route. Punjab authority property remains subject to section 43(7) of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. The stamping note sets out how the Article 45 duty is assessed, and the registration note gives the fee.

Chandigarh: Article 45 and section 17(1)(b) apply to an operative private partition deed. Sector/estate property must also be reflected in the Estate Office file under the 1952 Act and 2007 Rules. The stamping and registration notes give the partition duty and the registration fee; the Estate Office fee was not confirmed. Rule 16 of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 and Rule 14 of the Chandigarh (Sale of Sites and Buildings) Rules, 1960 both forbid fragmentation of a site or building, and the Supreme Court held on 10 January 2023, in Residents Welfare Association v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, that a residential unit in Phase-I may not be fragmented, divided, bifurcated or apartmentalised. Check the Estate Office position before dividing a sector site or building by metes and bounds.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this partition deed is to identify every co-owner, create separate title to measured allotments and support registration and post-registration record updates.

If the matter does not proceed, the personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the matter proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statute requires a longer named retention period.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or bank credentials.

SIGNATURE

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
