Why you need it

When you need it

For physically handing over a property as the sale/conveyance completes. Records keys, meter readings, fixtures, condition, open defects, pending documents. Not the sale deed (title) — factual evidence of handover, useful where registration/possession dates differ. Without it, parties can later dispute the date, keys or condition. Not a waiver of hidden defects or title claims.

If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.
