When you need it

A compact chronology of how title moved over ~30 years, so a buyer/lender/advocate sees the chain without every deed. Starts at the earliest defensible root, lists each transfer/succession/allotment/conveyance/court change in date order, with mutation entries.

Flags missing originals, date gaps, inconsistent names, and unverified powers of attorney or court orders. Not a legal opinion — input to due diligence.

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 search summary/opinion creates no right in property (outside s.2(14), Stamp Act 1899). Plain paper. Only stamp that can arise: a one-rupee revenue stamp on a receipt over Rs 5,000 (s.30/Article 53, Schedule I).

Registration

Not registrable — creates no interest in property; outside s.17, Registration Act, 1908.

Notarisation

Not required, unless the authority asks for an affidavit.

Witnesses

Not required; identity and the authority's own verification process matter more.

CONCLUSION

Chain conclusion: Chronological chain appears continuous subject to stated qualifications.

This summary is a chronological working record and does not replace verification of the underlying instruments, encumbrance searches or a legal title opinion.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab a title search runs the fard for every quinquennium in the period, then the mutation register behind each change, the order of the Circle Revenue Officer behind each mutation and the roznamcha rapat behind that, then the shajra and any tatima; on top of the revenue record it runs an index search and certified copies at the office of the Sub-Registrar, a Non-Encumbrance Certificate through rcms.punjab.gov.in and a property-under-litigation search on the same portal. An entry in the record of rights is presumed true only until the contrary is proved (section 44 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887), and section 45 sends the aggrieved owner to a declaratory suit, so a fard proves an entry, not ownership. For a sector property in Chandigarh there is no jamabandi, no fard and no mutation by the Tehsildar: nearly all urban land was sold or leased by Government under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, the Estate Officer's allotment file is the title record, and the search runs on estateoffice.chd.gov.in through Know Your Property, Know Your Dues and the User Account Statement.
