When you need it

Use this when a farmer sells standing trees grown on his own farm as a crop, usually poplar or eucalyptus, to a buyer such as a timber merchant or a plywood or veneer unit who will fell them and carry them away. It records the trees and where they stand, the price (a lump sum for the lot, or a rate on the weight or number actually felled), the advance, who gets the felling permission or removal permit if the law needs one, the time allowed for felling, who bears the cost and risk of felling, and that the field must be left clear and safe.

The buyer gets the trees, not the land: he may enter the field only to fell and carry them within the time allowed. Not for: asking the authority for permission to fell (use the Tree Felling Permission Application); a sale of the land (use the Agreement to Sell Agricultural Land); a sale of the standing field crop (use the Standing Crop Sale Agreement).

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 sale of trees that are to be felled and removed is a sale of goods, so no conveyance duty is charged. A general agreement may attract a fixed duty under the residual agreement entry of the Punjab or Chandigarh schedule, and this drafter could not confirm one current figure, so none is stated. Ask on the official e-stamping portal or at the Sub-Registrar counter before signing, and keep the payment receipts.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable: this agreement creates no interest in immovable property, so section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 does not require it to be registered. The parties may still choose to register it for extra evidential weight.

Notarisation

Not required. Either party may have it notarised for extra comfort that the signatures are genuine; carry original photo ID.

Witnesses

Not required by law, but two adult witnesses who are not parties are customary in village practice and are provided for below.
