When you need it

A record correctly identifies the right-holder but shows the wrong father's name — an identity mismatch. State the entry verbatim, backed by consistent revenue records, not to substitute a similarly-named owner. Punjab's route is Fard Badar; correcting parentage must not alter the share.

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 revenue-officer application, outside Stamp Act, 1899. An affidavit with it is separately stamped (Art.4, Sch.I-A). Chandigarh: same.

Registration

Not registrable: outside s.17, Registration Act, 1908. A deed's mistake needs rectification instead.

Notarisation

Not required unless an affidavit is needed.

Witnesses

Not required; document checks matter more.

Jurisdiction: Punjab. District/city: SAS Nagar. Tehsil/sector: Kharar. Village/locality: Village Kharar.

Property identifiers: Khewat 114, Khatauni 226, Khasra 18//12.. Property/right: 4 kanal land, full ownership share.. Current record: Jamabandi 2022-23, Khewat 114.

REQUEST

Please correct the descriptive parentage field for the same identified right-holder and leave the ownership/share entry unchanged except to the extent necessary to make the identity record internally consistent.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab a wrong name, parentage, share, area or khasra number in the jamabandi is corrected by a fard badar under paragraph 7.29 of the Punjab Land Records Manual. Where the error arose while the current consigned jamabandi was being prepared, the Circle Revenue Officer decides it; where it runs back through earlier jamabandis, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate does. The Field Kanungo examines the entry against the parat sarkar, the misal haqiat, the register of mutations and the earlier jamabandis, and paragraph 7.29 says the parties need not be heard. A fard badar cannot carry a transfer: a sale, gift, exchange, mortgage, inheritance or family partition is a mutation under section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887, and paragraph 7.30 bars using a mutation to correct an entry already in a jamabandi. An entry is presumed true only until the contrary is proved (section 44), and section 45 sends a person who disputes it to a declaratory suit. In Chandigarh a sector property has no jamabandi: the Estate Officer's allotment file is the record, and a mistake in it is corrected by an application to the Estate Office.
