When you need it

The application itself — the request you file with the revenue office to correct a name without touching ownership. Where the correction is a spelling, the sworn half is the Spelling Correction Affidavit for a Property Record in this library.

A name is wrong in a Punjab or Chandigarh record, needing correction without touching ownership. Punjab's Fard Badar compares the correct Jamabandi entry against the wrong one. Distinguish a spelling fix from a substantive name change or deed rectification — an error in the source deed itself leaves the chain inconsistent after a Jamabandi-only fix. States both entries, the source proving the correct name, and effect on others' rights.

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 a transfer instrument, so outside the Stamp Act, 1899. An affidavit filed is separately chargeable under Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab); a Chandigarh Estate Office correction likewise bears none.

Registration

Not registrable — outside s.17, Registration Act, 1908. A mistake inside a REGISTERED deed is different — fixed by its own rectification deed.

Notarisation

Not required unless the authority asks for an affidavit or attested declaration.

Witnesses

Not required; documentary comparison and record/authority verification matter more.

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.
