Public Notice Inviting Claims and Objections Before Purchase (Akhbari Ishtihar)

स्टाम्प ड्यूटी

Nil in both states — not chargeable under Schedule I-A either way; no stamp paper, e-stamp or court fee. PUNJAB deed rates: sale/gift 5% + 1% Social Infrastructure Cess (s.3-D) + 1% PIDB (s.25, 2002 Act), plus a 0.25% Special Infrastructure Fee (s.25-A, omitted from the dept's own table — ask which is taken: 7% or 7.25%); registration fee 1%, min Rs 50/max Rs 2,00,000 (Notification S.O.11/C.A.16/1908/Ss.78&79/Amd./2019, 4 Feb 2019); facilitation Rs 1,000-5,000 by tier; Rs 200 pasting; Rs 600 mutation fee — on the higher of consideration or the Collector rate (DC, Rule 3-A, Punjab Stamp Rules 1983, effective 1 April). Source: revenue.punjab.gov.in table, undated, 6 Sep 2026. Punjab remits DUTY (not necessarily the cess/2002-Act fees, unresolved; the 1% registration fee is certainly still payable) on a lifetime transfer to children/grandchildren/siblings (Order S.O.28/C.A.2/1899/S.9/2014, extended by S.O.227/.../2010) — ask before budgeting nil. A widely quoted FEMALE-BUYER concession (Notification S.O.127/C.A.2/1899/S.9/2010) is an unreadable scan, the table draws no gender line, and quoted rates contradict — assume none. CHANDIGARH: sale/gift/conveyance 5% on the higher of consideration/value, registration 1% capped Rs 10,000 + Rs 20 pasting (Administration schedule and DC calculator both confirm 5%/Rs 10,000 as run 6 Sep 2026) — portals wrongly say 6%; confirm at 30 Bays Building; no cess, no infra fee, no female concession. Agreement to sell 5% on token money; exchange 3%; family settlement 2%; lease-right transfer 3%; blood-relation exempt (fee still runs). Collector rates, 1 Apr 2026-31 Mar 2027: Sectors 1-12 Rs 2,37,900/sq yd, 14-37 Rs 1,81,300, 38+ Rs 1,33,200, Sector 17 SCO/SCF Rs 5,92,200 (DC office, 25 Mar 2026) — the calculator itself was stale on Sectors 1-12 as of 6 Sep 2026, so take the base from this schedule. For an affidavit of publication: Punjab e-stamp via SHCIL (above Rs 49,999); Chandigarh e-Sampark to Rs 500, then a vendor to Rs 50,000, then the Central Treasury.

रजिस्ट्री

Not registrable — s.17 doesn't reach it; neither Sub-Registrar accepts it for filing. Publication IS the substitute. PUNJAB: deed presented before the Tehsildar/Naib Tehsildar via NGDRS 3.0 (all 22 districts). Sale/lease/GPA registration = 1-day notified service (2018 Act); certified copy 7 days; NEC 3 days. On registration: Parcha Yadasht to the Tehsildar's office, Patwari enters the intkal, CRO attests, recovers Rs 600 (s.38). Uncontested-mutation limit: 45 days (Easy Jamabandi's 30-day promise, 13 Jun 2025, is unconfirmed as a notified limit). s.39: fine up to 5x for late reporting. Appeals: 30/60/90 days. CHANDIGARH: Sub-Registrar, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 — noon-1pm presentation, 3-5pm registration. Freehold sale/gift/transfer/exchange deeds in triplicate. Since 2025, mutation auto-triggers — why the affidavit-cum-indemnity must be filed AT the Sub-Registrar, and a leasehold transfer needs the Estate Office NOC + unearned increase settled FIRST. Change of ownership: 30 days; where the Estate Office itself notices: 40 + 20 more. Your page is a RECORD, not a registration — file it with the title file, the lender's TIR, and by hand to the Sub-Registrar/Tehsildar or Estate Officer.

नोटरी

Not required — no counter asks for it, only identity. Notarisation attaches to papers AROUND the notice — a publication affidavit, an affidavit-cum-indemnity, a lost-title-deed declaration, an heirs' indemnity bond — Chandigarh's Estate Office accepts one instead of an Executive Magistrate's. Two traps abroad: a Chandigarh Estate Office document executed outside India must FIRST be embossed by its Finance Department; and an abroad-executed instrument may be stamped within 3 months of reaching India (s.18), while a non-resident principal's POA needs a Notary/Court/Judge/Magistrate/Consul (s.33(1)(c)) — an apostille should suffice, though consular attestation is reportedly preferred. A GPA with sale power outside the family is 2% in Punjab (entry 48(f), 2023 Act) — 3% in Chandigarh (plain GPA: Rs 75).

गवाह

None on the notice — signed by the advocate or purchaser; no attesting-witness rule applies (s.3, TPA covers mortgages; s.63, Succession Act covers wills). Witnesses matter at the DEED. PUNJAB: two for a sale/agreement/lease/mortgage/exchange/gift/partition deed; present within 4 months (+4 on a fine up to 10x the fee). CHANDIGARH: two witnesses, the first qualifying under para 127, Punjab Registration Manual, both known to each other and the first to the Sub-Registrar.
