When you need it

When the Collector has sent a notice saying that the property in a registered deed was valued too low, and that more stamp duty, with penalty or interest, is due. The Indian Stamp Act, 1899 lets the registering officer refer an instrument to the Collector on this ground, and the Collector must hear you before deciding.

This reply sets out why the price in the deed is the true market value, or what the value should be, and asks for a hearing and for the extra demand to be dropped or reduced. It answers the notice; it is not an appeal against a final order. Papers in this kind of proceeding are usually filed through an advocate, and the office may ask for a court-fee label or a fee on a reply, so ask. Not for a document that has not yet been stamped (use Application for Adjudication of Stamp Duty).

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

No stamp duty is payable on the reply. A court-fee label or a fee may be asked on a reply filed in this proceeding; ask the Collector's office. The extra duty, if finally due, is a separate payment.

Registration

Not registrable; it is an application, not an instrument.

Notarisation

Not required, unless the Collector asks for an affidavit; a sworn statement of the facts helps.

Witnesses

Not required.

REPLY TO THE NOTICE OF UNDER-VALUATION

Before The Collector who sent the notice

In the matter of notice Case no. 45/2026 dated 1 April 2026.

Place: Chandigarh. Date: 3 April 2026. Date fixed for hearing: 2 April 2026.

Reply by Harpreet Singh, of House 12, Sector 35-A, Chandigarh, who is the buyer in the deed.

Filed through Adv. Ravinder Kaur, Advocate, X.

RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

1. The deed is: Sale deed dated 10 September 2026, registered as no. 2345 at the Sub-Registrar, Mohali. It covers Second floor of House 1234, Phase 3B1, Mohali. The price stated in it is ₹75,00,000 (Rupees Seventy Five Lakh only).

2. By the notice, the property is said to be worth ₹95,00,000 (Rupees Ninety Five Lakh only). The notice demands ₹25,000 (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) as extra duty, penalty or interest. I deny that the property was undervalued.

3. My objections to the notice are: The notice applies the rate for new construction, but the building is 25 years old and in poor repair; the price was paid by bank transfer and is the true price.

4. My case on the value is: The value in the deed, supported by a registered valuer's report and two sales of similar floors in the same lane in the last year.

5. I ask for a fair hearing and for copies of any report, rate list or other material the notice relies on, so that I can answer it.

PRAYER

It is prayed that the Collector be pleased to (a) hear the buyer before deciding; (b) hold that the price stated in the deed is the market value of the property, or fix the value at the figure proved; (c) drop the demand for extra duty, penalty and interest, or reduce it to what is due on that value; and (d) take no step to recover the demand until the matter is decided.

VERIFICATION

I state that the facts in this reply are true to my knowledge, and that the documents attached are true copies of what I have.

Applicant: Harpreet Singh

Enclosures: The notice, a copy of the registered deed, proof of payment of the price, the valuer's report, copies of comparable sale deeds
