When you need it

A deceased person still appears in a record despite completed succession. Distinguish a stale clerical entry from an UNDECIDED inheritance — don't delete the name without entering lawful successors; Punjab's separate inheritance-mutation route means this isn't a shortcut around it.

States the death certificate, prior mutation/deed/order, and resulting holder/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 — 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.

Witnesses

Not required; documentary comparison and verification matter more.

REMOVAL OF A DEAD PERSON'S ENTRY

Application date: 2 April 2026

Applicant: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula, capacity Recorded owner/right-holder. Phone: 98765 43210; email: aarav@example.com.

Record: Punjab, SAS Nagar, Kharar, Village Kharar; Khewat 114, Khatauni 226, Khasra 18//12.; 4 kanal land, full ownership share.; Jamabandi 2022-23.

DECEASED ENTRY

Deceased: Harpreet Singh, date of death 1 April 2026, certificate DTH/2025/118.

BASIS

Removal basis: Inheritance mutation already sanctioned. Source: Inheritance Mutation 221/2025. Resulting holder/share: Aarav Sharma and Naina Sharma, half share each..

REQUEST

Please remove the stale deceased-person entry only together with the lawful resulting record, or direct completion of the necessary succession proceeding first.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab a death changes the rights in the record rather than correcting it: the heirs' names are entered by a mutation of inheritance (virasat, commonly called the fauti intkal) reported under section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 and attested by the Circle Revenue Officer, and a fard badar cannot carry that change. Paragraph 7.30 of the Punjab Land Records Manual bars using a mutation to correct an entry already incorporated in a jamabandi, so a stale entry left behind after a sanctioned mutation is corrected by a fard badar under paragraph 7.29. In Chandigarh a sector property has no jamabandi; a transfer on an intestate death goes through the Estate Office and needs a public notice.
