Why you need it

When you need it

A record of the sale of an animal — a buffalo, cow, bullock, calf or other livestock — between a seller and a buyer: what was sold, its description and any identification tag, the price received, a health declaration, and, because Punjab prohibits cow slaughter, the buyer's declaration about a bovine animal. Village and mandi cattle sales are almost always done on trust and a handshake; this receipt is the paper trail that protects both sides if the animal later turns out to be diseased, not the seller's to sell, or if the buyer is asked to account for what became of a protected animal. Not for: the sale of a whole dairy herd or a farm as a going concern together with land, sheds and equipment, which needs a fuller business-transfer agreement; a gift of an animal, where no price passes; or the transport of cattle out of Punjab, which needs its own permits under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Transport of Animals) Rules, 1978 and is not covered by this receipt.

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

A plain acknowledgement of a price received, which this Receipt is, is commonly given with a revenue stamp affixed across the signature where the amount exceeds the threshold fixed under Article 53 (Receipt), Schedule I of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 — a long-standing, nominal practice. This Receipt is not, in addition, chargeable as a conveyance: the sale of an animal is a sale of goods under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, and no separate ad valorem duty is payable on that account.

Registration

Not registrable. The sale of an animal is a sale of movable property, and this Receipt records it; neither creates an interest in land, and both fall outside s.17 of the Registration Act, 1908.

Notarisation

Not required.

Witnesses

Not legally required, but two witnesses are customary for a sale of this kind and are provided for below — a cattle sale disputed later is commonly disputed on exactly the facts a witness present at the mandi or the village can speak to.
