When you need it

A tree needs felling, removal, transplanting or substantial cutting — prior permission required. Chandigarh routes urban requests to the Executive Engineer (Horticulture) under the 1952 Tree Preservation Order; Punjab's law restricts felling via the Tree Officer, with special treatment for dangerous/dead trees.

States each tree, species/girth/location, reason, ownership, any development conflict, and replanting. A building sanction doesn't authorise removal.

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: it creates no right in property, so it is not an instrument under section 2(14), Indian Stamp Act, 1899. Print on plain paper; pay only the authority's fee. Any affidavit filed is stamped separately.

Registration

Not registrable: creates no right in property; section 17, Registration Act, 1908 doesn't apply.

Notarisation

Not required, unless the authority asks for an affidavit.

Witnesses

Not required. The owner's and the professional's signatures suffice.
