Process of Property Registration

We’ll discuss some of the main points on the entire process of registration of a property in India. Although this process is quite complex, it may require a lot of time and effort by the registry office to complete. So let’s start the process of registering a property in India with propertywala.

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.

Delhi Government cuts Circle Rate up to 20%

Gurgaon is safe as an investment bet.

Capital values rose by more than 30-35% in Gurgaon’s residential sector over the last one year. Developers are now going slow on execution of real estate projects, resulting in a drop in supply of residential apartments in most prime markets. Emerging residential areas are still not able to meet the huge housing demand.

Due to rampant construction delays, the expected supply of residential properties announced in early 2009 has not been able to reach the market. Around 500,000 units that were scheduled for possession in key markets by end of 2011 are delayed by another year.

There has been an increase in lateral hiring by corporates. With job scenario improving all over the country, people have more to spend. This has resulted in good investment opportunities, and investor sentiments in the affordable and mid-income segment of Gurgaon’s residential market have improved.

Gurgaon remains promising for office space, and there are good prospects for more major global players setting up operations here in near future. On the whole, this augurs well for the residential property market, more or less assuring relatively healthy absorption of residential space in the times to come. The new infrastructure initiatives being undertaken by the government will also play a crucial role for Gurgaon’s residential and commercial property sectors.

CCI again caught DLF for imposing unfair conditions on flat owners.

CCI has again accused DLF of imposing unfair conditions on home buyers on its high-end residential project Magnolia in Gurgaon. For this, Magnolia Flat Owners’ Association had filed a complaint against DLF Universal, Haryana Urban Development Authority and the Director Town and Country Planning, Haryana, with the Competition Commission of India (CCI).

In the report, the CCI director general found that DLF has issued allotment letters, and apartment buyers’ agreements were signed even before it got approvals from the town planner. Also, the builder has revised the building plans and applied for increasing the height of the towers after collecting 90% of the money from the buyers, and two months after the original date of delivery promised by the company.

CCI had also found DLF guilty of abusing its position at the Park Place Project in Gurgaon, where they asked the company to cease and desist from imposing unfair conditions on buyers. The order had also directed DLF to suitably modify the unfair conditions imposed on existing buyers within three months.

Drish Paul, the president of the Magnolia Flat Owners’ Association, said that “Many people are living on rent, waiting for apartments to be handed over. We would eventually like to get compensated for the loss due to the delay in completion of the project.”

In a similar order in August 2011,CCI had slapped a fine of 630 crore on DLF for unfair practices, abuse of market dominance and disregard for consumer rights in its Belaire residential project in Gurgaon.

Fire Capital Plans to Increase $ 100Million to Invest in Housing Projects

Fire Capital, the first private equity fund focused on the Indian real estate sector , plans to increase $100 million to capitalize in housing projects. The company will increase the money initially from its existing investors in the US to invest in tier-II and tier-III cities in states like Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, told the CEO Om Chaudhry.

“There is an intense scarcity of residential projects, as India would require at least another 30 million homes by 2012 to fulfil the existing housing need. We want to cut some bit of the demand and supply gap in small towns and accommodate to the middle income segment,” he said. Majorly homes are needed in the mid and lower income group. Fire Capital, established in 2004, raised its first fund worth $121 million in 2006, with an ability to invest around $250 million through the co-investment commitments of its investor base. All the funds are almost over. It is raising the additional amount to built 25-50 acres with each builder in small towns this financial year.

The real estate sector in the country was one of the biggest effected area of the global economic recession in 2008-09 as buyers kept away from the market and banks became panicky about giving loans. Although recovery in the sector is gaining speed, but the amount of debt in the industry is a big concern. According to industry estimates, real estate firms have built up a total debt of about 75,000 crore. Property developers are increasingly approaching private equity firms to complete both existing and new projects besides repaying a part of their debt.
