When you need it

A search or mutation entry may suggest a bank holds, or held, a mortgage or title documents. Get written lender verification rather than assume release on the borrower's word. State the borrower, property and confirmation needed.

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), Stamp Act, 1899. Plain paper; any lender reply or release is separately stamped.

Registration

Not registrable under section 17, Registration Act, 1908.

Notarisation

Not required unless an affidavit is needed.

BANK CHARGE VERIFICATION LETTER

Date: 1 April 2026

To ABC Bank Ltd, Sector 17, Chandigarh.

Applicant: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula. Borrower/mortgagor: Harpreet Singh.

Property: Plot 118, Sector 35-A, Chandigarh (Plot/land), Plot 118, Sector 35-A; prior deed no. 2345.. Loan reference: Home loan ending 1188.

Verification requested: Whether any mortgage or charge presently subsists. Known charge details: MODT dated 10 March 2022; mutation charge entry 334.

Requested bank response: Signed charge-status confirmation.

Please confirm the present charge/security and original-document custody position in writing, including any release, payoff or NOC step still required.

LEGAL BASIS

A registered mortgage appears in the Sub-Registrar's registers and in a Punjab Non-Encumbrance Certificate, but the certificate cannot report an equitable mortgage created by deposit of title deeds. The lender's own written confirmation of the charge and of the documents it holds, and a search of the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India, are how such a charge is found. On repayment, ask for the lender's no-dues letter, the release of the original documents and written confirmation that the charge has been satisfied in the Central Registry records.
