Why you need it

When you need it

For releasing buyer money held by a neutral escrow holder once the sale is cancelled — a precise instruction tied to the escrow agreement's own trigger. Identify the agreement, cancelled sale, verified balance, the authorising event, and the exact distribution. If part is disputed, release only the undisputed portion; an escrow agent shouldn't decide the dispute's merits unless its terms say so. Not a substitute for an effective cancellation instrument.

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

Doesn't ordinarily attract conveyance duty. Any substantive settlement/release embedded in it must be classified and stamped by its true effect.

Registration

Not ordinarily needed for escrow payment instructions; the underlying cancellation/rescission instrument follows its own registration requirement.

Notarisation

Notarisation is not required unless the escrow agreement expressly requires notarised instructions.

Witnesses

Both buyer and seller sign where joint instructions are required; independent witnesses are usually unnecessary, as escrow authentication matters more.
