When you need it

A covering letter for a fresh home-loan application: property, purpose, amount, tenure, rate preference, repayment source, income, obligations, documents. Don't claim the loan is sanctioned or promise a particular rate — ask for the Key Fact Statement instead, since RBI requires reset disclosures on floating EMI loans.

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 — not an 'instrument' under s.2(14), Indian Stamp Act 1899. Plain paper; the loan agreement, deposit memorandum, mortgage and guarantee are stamped separately.

Registration

Not registrable (s.17, Registration Act 1908). The mortgage itself needs registration if Rs 100+, unless by deposit of title deeds — two witnesses (s.59, TPA 1882).

Notarisation

Not required unless the lender wants an affidavit.

Witnesses

Not required; borrower signatures and documents matter more.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab the holder of a site allotted by a development authority cannot transfer any right in it without the authority's previous permission (section 43(7) of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995), so a mortgage of such a site needs the authority's permission to mortgage, which it gives only to the allottee on its file. A mortgage by deposit of title deeds needs no registered deed, and a Punjab Non-Encumbrance Certificate cannot show it, which is why lenders also search the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India.
