Karnataka Property Registration - Procedure and Charges - IndiaFilings

STEPS OF PROPERTY REGISTRATION IN INDIA:

  1. The first step is to choose the property and look for all the details in the property. Negotiate with the seller. Pay 10% booking amount. Then we have an agreement to sell.
  2. Buyers should check that there are no liens or other encumbrances on the property before they make an offer.
  3. Calculate Stamp Duty. Stamp Duty is the tax levied on the transfer of real property in the state. Stamp duty rates vary from state to state. It’s calculated either on the circle rate or on the market rate, whichever is higher. It’s generally 3-10% of the property value and 1% is the registration charge.
  4. There are three methods for paying stamp duty, as follows:
    1. Method 1 – Non-Judicial stamp paper (picture). If stamp duty is Rs. 1 lakh, buy papers worth Rs 1 lakh, where sale deed will be printed on an official stamp paper.
    2. Method 2 – Franking method – Print the sale deed on plain paper. Pay stamp duty in the cheque, cash, online, or DD draft. Then the bank attests to the sale deed.
    3. Method 3 – E-Stamping (picture) – it will mention all details – generated online – Go to Stock holding corporation of India – www.shcilestamp.com. Payment will be made only at authorized centers. Collect e-stamp then.

HOW TO CALCULATE STAMP DUTY:

Now, buyers should also be aware of the Stamp duty calculation. They should also know that this tax is payable when they register their property.

For example, if the actual value is Rs. 40 lakhs and the circle rate is Rs. 50 lakhs, then you have to pay stamp duty at the highest rate out of the two. Hence, in this example, because the circle rate is greater than the actual rate then you have to pay a stamp duty of Rs. 50 lakhs.

And in another case, let’s assume that you bought a property in India with a market value of Rs 90 lakhs and the circle rate was Rs 80 lakhs. In this case, you would have to pay a stamp duty of Rs 90 lakhs. Therefore, you can calculate your stamp duty. In addition, you can also estimate stamp duty online because it varies differently and is higher in large cities and towns than in small towns or cities.

5. The next thing is a draft and print sale deed or conveyance deed, or gift deed. It mentions all details like name, address, age of both the buyer and seller, etc. It provides details about payment, including through cheque, cash, or any other method. After that, you have to print the sale deed on stamp paper and then sign each page of the sale deed. Two witnesses also have to sign the last page of the sale deed.

6. After drafting and printing the sale deed, you must register it at the sub-registrar office. The office should be located in a fixed zone of your property’s locality. To schedule an appointment online or to obtain a token number, contact the sub-registrar office by phone or in writing. Both buyer and seller should attend the registration; witnesses should be present as well. If either of them cannot attend, they must appoint someone to act on their behalf with power of attorney. All parties should bring documents such as an Aadhaar card and an identity document. Three photographs will be attached to the sale deed, and both buyers and sellers will be asked to sign their names in the presence of a sub-registrar. Fingerprints will also be taken for security purposes.

7. After that, you have to collect the registered sale deed. The deed can be collected within 15-20 days. If you took a bank loan, the bank will collect the original deed.

8. Now that the registration process is over and the property transfer is complete, you need to change the name in the land records. This process is called a mutation. If your property is located in a rural area or outside municipal limits, you will have to change the name in land records. The mutation has different names in different states. For example Jamabandi in Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan; Khatauni in Uttar Pradesh; 7/12 in Gujarat and Maharashtra; and Khatian in Orissa, West Bengal, and Bihar. After you register your property, the whole process of registration of your property is completed.
