- Token Advance Receipt (Bayana Rasid)Almost every property deal in Punjab and Chandigarh begins with a bayana handed over before anybody has drafted anything — a figure settled over tea, a bank transfer the same evening, and a scrap of paper with a signature on it. This is that scrap of paper, written properly. Use it when you have paid or received token money to hold a property, whether to buy it or to rent it, and the main agreement will be signed later. It records exactly what the money was for, by when the main agreement must be signed, and who keeps the money if either side walks away. There is a second reason to get the figure right, and it bites hardest in Chandigarh. Item 22 of the Stamp Duty and Registration Fees schedule published by the Office of the Sub-Registrar, U.T. Chandigarh charges an agreement to sell at 5 per cent of the token or earnest money — not of the sale price. The number you write into this receipt is therefore the tax base for the stamp duty on your Agreement to Sell. A bayana casually written up as Rs 10,00,000 when Rs 2,00,000 actually changed hands costs Rs 40,000 in duty that nobody needed to pay, and understating it in the other direction is an undervaluation the Collector can reopen. Write down what actually moved, and keep the bank proof with the paper. The document is built for a person-to-person deal: an owner selling a house in Ludhiana or Amritsar, an allottee transferring a Greater Mohali Area Development Authority plot, a Chandigarh sector house changing hands, a landlord taking a token against a tenancy. It assumes the money is being paid to the person whose name is on the record, that no possession is being handed over yet, and that a proper Agreement to Sell, Rent Agreement or Lease Deed will follow within weeks. Do not use it if you are paying a promoter, a colonizer or a builder for an under-construction or newly launched unit. In Punjab, section 6 of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 requires a written agreement for sale, registered under the Registration Act, 1908, to be entered into before a promoter takes any advance at all, and caps that advance at twenty-five per cent of the sale price. Section 13(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 independently caps the advance at ten per cent of the cost of the apartment, plot or building where there is no registered agreement for sale. PAPRA is a Punjab Act and has never been repealed; it does not run in Chandigarh, where a promoter answers under the 2016 central Act and the Chandigarh Real Estate (Regulation and Development) (General) Rules, 2016. Either way, a bayana receipt is the wrong document — ask for the allotment letter and the registered agreement for sale. Note that section 44 of PAPRA takes a development authority such as GMADA or GLADA outside that Act altogether, so a plot bought at an authority auction is a different transaction from a plot bought from a colonizer, and only the second is a PAPRA promoter sale. Do not use it if possession is being handed over now, even only to start interior work. The moment possession passes, the paper stops being a receipt: it becomes an agreement to sell followed by delivery of possession, it must be registered under section 17(1A) of the Registration Act, 1908, and it falls under entry 5(cc) of Punjab's Schedule I-A, which charges it at the conveyance rate. Clause 12 of this receipt is drafted to keep that from happening by accident. Do not use it if you are already ready to sign the Agreement to Sell. A receipt is a holding document. If the title has been checked, the price is fixed and the money is arranged, skip this and draft the agreement. Do not use it for a Chandigarh residential property without checking the transfer freeze first. The Estate Officer's Public Notice effective 10 February 2023 permits transfers only in four cases — within the family by any instrument whatever the share; a will bequeathing shares only within the family; purchase of one hundred per cent of the property by one person or by persons of the same family, whether or not the present owners are related; and building plans where every co-owner belongs to the same family — and stops transfers and mutations of every other residential property until the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee decides. It is not established that the decision has been taken or the freeze lifted. Ask at the Estate Office, Town Hall Building, Sector 17, before any money moves, and write the date you asked into Clause 2.3(d). Do not use it for a Chandigarh leasehold or concessionally allotted site that is less than fifteen years old. Rule 7(i) of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 forbids the transfer outright, so there is nothing for a bayana to hold. Those Rules apply, by Rule 1(ii), only to allotments and auctions made after 7 November 2007; where the allotment is older, ask the Estate Office which rules govern before you assume either that the lock-in applies or that it does not.₹99खोलें
- Memorandum of Understanding for Sale of PropertyDON'T use if: (1) agricultural land (buyer restrictions vary by state; an incompetent buyer forfeits the bayana — Cl.11); (2) under-construction/not handed over (needs assignment/nomination + builder NOC, RERA-governed, GST applies); (3) seller is a company/LLP/firm/HUF/trust/society; (4) ancestral/coparcenary property, or a minor/ward's interest; (5) either side non-resident (FEMA governs purchase/repatriation; buyer deducts tax under s.195, holds a TAN first). Cl.2.4 confirms all five. Use when price is settled, bayana changes hands today, and the Agreement to Sell is weeks off. Records the property, price, token, off-market period, pre-Agreement duties, and who keeps the money on failure — lighter than an Agreement to Sell: no title, no possession.₹399खोलें
- Buyer Funding Confirmation LetterGives the seller comfort the buyer has a plausible funding route before exclusivity — the own-funds/borrowing split, loan status, and proof offered, without full bank statements. Not a bank guarantee; states whether financing becomes a later contingency, since silence shouldn't create or remove one.₹99खोलें
- Earnest Money Deposit ReceiptFor money paid/received to show commitment before final sale documents — property, amount, reference, price, governing document, possession status, default consequences. 'Earnest' doesn't make forfeiture automatic (s.74 caps compensation) — payment evidence only, not a shortcut around an agreement to sell.₹99खोलें
- Exclusivity and Standstill LetterFor a short period where the seller must stop shopping the property elsewhere while you spend on title review, valuation or loans. States the period, what's barred, diligence duties, any deposit, and exit terms — avoiding an excessive penalty (s.74 caps stipulated sums). Doesn't sell the property or grant possession.₹99खोलें
- Expression of Interest to PurchaseA serious but preliminary written position before signing an agreement to sell or paying binding earnest money: the property, indicative price, deadline, diligence expectation, funding route and possession assumption — boundary-setting, not an accidental agreement to sell. Per s.54 TPA, even a sale contract creates no interest by itself.₹99खोलें
- Joint Buyers Cost-Sharing AgreementFor agreeing, between co-buyers, who contributes what before payments, fees and registration costs move — internal, not an ownership declaration. Records contribution shares, shared costs, loan responsibility, refunds, and exit if one buyer can't fund. Further from a property interest than the agreement for sale itself (s.54 TPA).₹399खोलें
- Intimation of Loan Sanction to the SellerFor telling the seller about a lender sanction without overstating it — still subject to valuation, title approval and disbursement formalities. Records the amount, reference, validity, and cooperation needed; sanction isn't disbursement, and doesn't silently change the price or date.₹99खोलें
- Offer Letter to Purchase a PropertyFor putting a specific price/terms to the seller before the agreement to sell — stronger than an EOI: an actual offer, expiry date, token mechanism, diligence/finance/completion terms. State whether acceptance merely records consensus or creates a limited obligation — not the final conveyance (TP Act 1882 s.54: a contract for sale creates no interest in the property).₹99खोलें
- Property Valuation Request LetterFor an independent value opinion before deciding price or financing. Tell the valuer the property, purpose, valuation date, value type, inspection access, and who may rely on the report — never instruct them to 'reach' a target price. Lender/investor/buyer valuations use different assumptions, so record what the valuer received.₹99खोलें
- Seller Disclosure StatementFor a seller disclosing material facts before the agreement to sell is signed: title capacity, mortgages/charges, disputes, occupancy, dues, approvals, alterations, known defects. TP Act 1882 s.55(1)(a) puts a disclosure duty on the seller for defects known to them, unknown to the buyer, undiscoverable by ordinary care. Not a substitute for diligence, but forces known issues onto the record.₹99खोलें
- Site Visit and Inspection ReportA factual record of a pre-purchase inspection: what was seen, inaccessible, or needs follow-up. Not a structural certificate or title opinion — covers occupancy, condition, fixtures, measurements, photos, open questions, so a quick visit isn't mistaken for full diligence. Evidence of the visit, not a waiver of latent defects or unperformed checks.₹99खोलें
- Term Sheet for a Property PurchaseFor when price/major terms are broadly agreed but the parties aren't ready to sign the agreement to sell. A drafting brief: consideration, token, staged payments, title review, finance, dues, brokerage, target dates. State which clauses (if any) bind (TP Act 1882 s.54: a contract for sale creates no interest in the property). Reduces re-negotiation.₹99खोलें
- Title Documents Handover ListA provable inventory of which title documents the seller supplied — sale deeds, allotment/mutation records, plans, completion certificates, mortgage releases, dues receipts. Records what stays with the seller/lender and what's missing. Evidentiary only — doesn't certify title.₹99खोलें

- Agreement to Sell (Iqrarnama / Bayana)Use this when you have agreed to buy or sell a house, kothi, flat, plot, shop, SCO, office or piece of land in Punjab or in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and you want the sauda locked down in writing before the registry. It fixes the price and the payment schedule, records what the seller promises about the title, sets the date by which the Sale Deed must be executed and registered, decides who pays the stamp duty, says when kabza is handed over, and says exactly what happens to the bayana if either side backs out. Almost every transaction in both places passes through an iqrarnama, usually before the buyer's home loan is sanctioned, because the bank wants to see a signed agreement before it will commit. What it does not do is transfer ownership. Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 says a contract for the sale of immovable property creates no interest in the property. Only a registered Sale Deed does that. This is the contract that gets you there, and it is the document a court enforces under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 if the seller changes their mind. The two jurisdictions this template covers behave very differently once the deal moves, and the document says so throughout. In Punjab the title evidence is the jamabandi, the chain runs from the Halqa Patwari through the Field Kanungo to the Circle Revenue Officer, and the registered deed produces a parcha yadasht that starts the intkal. In Chandigarh there is no jamabandi for sector property at all — the Estate Officer's allotment file is the title record, mutation is triggered automatically from the Sub-Registrar since 2025, and a leasehold or concessional-rate site needs the Estate Office's No Objection Certificate and one-third of the unearned increase before the sale can be registered. Get the jurisdiction right in the Schedule and the rest of the document follows. Within Chandigarh there is a second fork, and getting it wrong is expensive. A site allotted or auctioned by the Estate Officer runs on the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 — a transfer ban for fifteen years from allotment, one-third of the unearned increase, ground rent, and the Estate Office No Objection Certificate. A dwelling unit allotted by the Chandigarh Housing Board runs on the Board's own Regulation 16 of the Chandigarh Housing Board (Allotment, Management and Sale of Tenements) Regulations, 1979 — a lock-in of five years counted from the date of physical possession, not from allotment, no unearned increase at all, and the Board's own transfer No Objection Certificate applied for jointly by the allottee and the purchaser. This template asks the tenure question twice for that reason, and prints a different block for each answer. A freehold Chandigarh property answers neither, and Clause 8.9 turns that silence into a warranty by the Seller that no permission and no unearned increase are payable. WHEN NOT TO USE THIS. Do not use it if you are buying an under-construction flat or a plot from a builder or coloniser. Where the seller is a promoter, Section 6 of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 and, for a covered project, Section 13 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 require the promoter's own prescribed and registered agreement for sale, and this resale template does not replace it. Do not use it as a sale deed — it is the step before one, and no amount of bayana turns it into a registry. Do not use it alongside a general power of attorney and a will as a way of transferring property without paying duty; that route was condemned in Suraj Lamp and Industries Pvt Ltd v State of Haryana (2012) 1 SCC 656 and it will not give the buyer title. Do not use it for a mere token receipt on a small advance where the parties do not yet know the price or the completion date; a bayana receipt is a different and much shorter document. Do not use it where what is being sold is an undivided share, or a property subject to a continuing tenancy, or a Chandigarh residential property whose transfer may be caught by the Estate Officer's public notice of February 2023 — each of those needs bespoke drafting and, for the last of them, an enquiry at the Estate Office before any money changes hands. One more limit worth knowing before you sign. A large part of what people actually hold in and around Mohali, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Bathinda and Amritsar is not a sale deed at all but an allotment letter from GMADA, GLADA, PUDA or another development authority, and the transfer of such a plot runs through that authority's own permission and transfer machinery in addition to the registry. This template is drafted for a sale between owners and it assumes the seller has something to convey. If the seller holds an allotment letter, read the allotment conditions first and add what the authority requires.₹399खोलें
- Non-Encumbrance AffidavitFor selling, pledging as loan security, or a society/authority transfer, when the other side wants sworn confirmation nothing is charged against the property. Narrower than a title affidavit (encumbrances only) — and covers what an Encumbrance Certificate can't: a mortgage created by simply handing over title deeds is registered nowhere.₹199खोलें
- Indemnity Bond by Seller in Favour of BuyerFor after a sale, binding the seller if title proves defective, an encumbrance surfaces, a third party claims the property, an old dues bill lands on the buyer, or a statement proves false. Signed at/after registry. Banks require it before a home loan; societies/authorities before mutation.₹199खोलें
- Spousal Consent / NOC for Sale of PropertyFor when a buyer or bank wants a written no-objection from the seller's spouse before registry. No community-of-property rule in most of India — a spouse not on the title owns and conveys nothing, so this isn't a conveyance. Its value is defensive: (1) evidence against a later Domestic Violence Act 2005 'right of residence' claim — not an absolute bar (Satish Chander Ahuja v. Sneha Ahuja, 2020, lets 'shared household' extend to property she doesn't own), but dated proof of no claim defeats most; (2) blocks a later 'half the money was mine' contribution claim; (3) clears a bank advocate's routine occupation/maintenance query. Wrong document if the spouse's name IS on the title (co-owner, allotment letter, mutation): a share passes only by a registered sale deed (Transfer of Property Act 1882 s.54) — the spouse must sign the bainama itself; this template instead makes them promise to join it. If you're the spouse signing: this favours the buyer — it records you have no share, paid nothing, and claim nothing. Take independent advice first if that's untrue, your name is on any title paper, or a matrimonial dispute runs.₹99खोलें
- Addendum Revising the Sale ConsiderationFor renegotiating an existing agreement to sell's price (diligence findings, area, repairs, cost allocation) — not left in messages or a handwritten note. States original/revised consideration, credits amounts paid, recalculates the balance, and keeps statutory stamp/tax valuation separate from the private price. Per s.54 TPA, it changes the bargain only — not title.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell Agricultural LandFor agricultural land, where a postal address isn't enough — fix the revenue identity (village, hadbast, khewat/khatauni, khasra, area), cultivation, tenants, access, standing crop, and acquisition notices. Per s.54 TPA it doesn't convey title — verify the title chain/record of rights; don't assume mutation proves ownership. Land-use conversion should be a condition, not a promise.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell an Industrial PlotFor an industrial plot, where title often runs through an industrial-development authority's allotment, not plain freehold. Fix the estate, allotment/leasehold status, transfer permission, construction deadline, authority dues, sanctioned use, utilities/load and any environmental approval. Per s.54, TPA, this doesn't transfer ownership or allotment rights — the authority's own process still applies.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell a PlotFor a plot — identity needs more than an address: allotment/freehold status, plot number, area, boundaries, authority conditions, transfer permission, dues and demarcation. Per s.54 TPA, this creates only a right to a future conveyance, not ownership. Many Punjab/Chandigarh plots trace to authority allotments where transfer charges/NOCs affect completion — make these express conditions.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell an Undivided ShareFor selling only an undivided co-ownership share — so a percentage interest isn't confused with owning a specific floor or room from a family arrangement never legally partitioned. State the exact share, parent property, title basis, co-owner position, possession/use, common expenses, and whether partition is a completion condition. Per s.54, TPA, this doesn't transfer the share itself — a final conveyance is still needed.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell a Shop or SCOFor a shop, showroom or SCO — commercial facts a residential agreement misses: leasehold/allotted status, common/parking rights, an existing tenant, and the deposit/rent to transfer or reconcile at completion. Title is separate from trade/use permissions. Per s.54, TPA, this isn't the sale deed — ownership passes only on conveyance.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell an Under-Construction FlatFor buying an under-construction flat from a promoter — the actual RERA agreement-for-sale, not a booking form. Fix the project, promoter, unit, carpet area, cost, payment plan, specifications, possession date, parking, assignment rules and delay remedies. Under s.13, RERA 2016, a promoter can't take over 10% of cost as advance without first signing (and registering) this agreement. Per s.54 TPA, it's still not the final conveyance.₹399खोलें
- Agreement to Sell With PossessionFor a sale where the buyer takes possession before the sale deed is executed — needing stronger drafting since possession engages s.53A, TPA and s.17(1A), Registration Act (compulsory registration). Fix why possession is delivered, the date, risk/occupation duties, alteration limits, title conditions, completion date, and what happens if conveyance later fails. Per s.54, TPA, the contract still doesn't transfer ownership — keys don't make a buyer the owner.₹399खोलें
- Earnest Money Forfeiture AddendumFor fixing, in an existing agreement to sell, exactly how earnest money treats buyer default — not a vague 'bayana forfeited' line. States which payment counts as earnest, the default event, preconditions, notice/cure, treatment of payments above earnest, and seller-default/mutual-cancellation outcomes. S.74 caps a named sum at reasonable compensation, not automatic full recovery.₹399खोलें
- Escrow Agreement for the Sale ConsiderationFor holding sale consideration with a neutral stakeholder until completion events occur, when the buyer won't release funds before registration and the seller won't complete without funding confidence. State who deposits, release conditions, the long-stop date, refund trigger, and fees. The agent doesn't judge title or breach — funds stay blocked until the agreed process is satisfied.₹399खोलें
- Extension of Time Under an Agreement to SellFor when an agreement to sell's completion date is approaching or impractical (financing, title clearance, a lender release, or an authority NOC pending). Records the original/new date, reason, whether prior delay is waived, compensation, and whether the new date is essential — while preserving price/possession unless separately changed. Per s.54 TPA, extending time doesn't transfer title.₹399खोलें
- Supplementary Agreement to SellFor adding or clarifying terms to an already-signed agreement to sell, without rewriting it. Identify the original agreement precisely, list clauses affected, state the supplementary wording, and set a priority rule so both instruments read together. If it touches possession, registration or consideration, assess this document's own stamp/registration treatment rather than assuming the original formality covers it. Gives one traceable record of the exact change, instead of ambiguous WhatsApp/email amendments.₹399खोलें
- Tripartite Agreement Between Buyer, Seller and BankFor when the buyer is loan-financed and the lender must coordinate disbursement with the seller — especially where part of the loan pays off the seller's mortgage, or documents go straight into the bank's custody. Identifies consideration, buyer margin, sanctioned loan, disbursement route, payoff, custody, and funding failure — limiting the bank to its own security obligations, not a title guarantor (TP Act s.54). Without it, seller and bank can deadlock over who moves first.₹399खोलें

- Liability Affidavit-cum-Indemnity Bond (Estate Office Annexure-2)For the transferee taking a Chandigarh sector property — buyer, donee, or party under a blood-relations transfer, exchange, or family settlement — swearing this before the Estate Office mutates it into your name. Every transferee in every transaction files it (Annexure-2), sworn by the person coming IN. DON'T USE YET if the property is RESIDENTIAL and the transfer doesn't leave ONE person or family holding the whole unit. Since the Supreme Court's 10 Jan 2023 judgment, the Estate Officer's Public Notice (10 Feb 2023) permits transfer only where one person/family gets the whole unit, it's within the family, or all co-owners after are one family — otherwise transfers are STOPPED pending the Heritage Conservation Committee (status unconfirmed): ask the Estate Office BEFORE buying stamp paper. This affidavit can't revive a stopped mutation. Timing is critical: auto-mutation (since 2025) sends the deed digitally to the Estate Office on registration, with NO separate application after — so this must be sworn, stamped, and IN the file BEFORE the deed is presented. Six sworn facts: no court attachment/injunction; no pending cancellation/resumption; no building violation/misuse; nothing owed (premium, ground rent, misuse charge, water/property tax); the storey actually complete; and your undertaking to finish construction, get the Occupation Certificate, and execute the Redemption Deed. Each box reads 'save as disclosed' — a BLANK box is a denial on oath (clause 1.5), and the Estate Office can check three of four against its own portal in minutes. DON'T use this: for a death transfer (will/intestacy) — use the Estate Office's own transfer-on-death route instead; for a CHB flat — CHB runs its own regime (Regulation 16, 1979); for village/periphery property (Manimajra, lal dora, phirni) — those run on revenue records, not this file; as the SELLER's document — this is the transferee's own; or as a substitute for the leasehold NOC and one-third unearned-increase payment (Rule 7(ii)), still needed separately.₹199खोलें
- Application for a Lower or Nil TDS Certificate on an NRI Property Sale (Form No. 128), with the Buyer's TDS Compliance PackFor an NRI, OCI or other non-resident selling Punjab/Chandigarh property, where the buyer is about to deduct TDS. The problem is cash flow: a resident seller's buyer deducts a flat 1%, but a non-resident's buyer must withhold on the WHOLE consideration, not the gain — e.g. Rs 1.6 crore sale, Rs 40 lakh gain (real tax ~Rs 5 lakh), gross withholding runs many times that, refunded only 18 months–2 years later after the return is filed. The cure: s.395(1), Income-tax Act 2025 + Rule 213, IT Rules 2026, lets the seller apply to the AO (International Taxation) for a lower/nil-TDS certificate on the estimated gain — from 1 April 2026, Form No. 128 on TRACES, replacing Form 13 (s.395 replaces s.197 of the 1961 Act). Since Form 128 is online, this document supplies its two paper halves: Part A is the seller's facts/gain computation/verification; Part B is the seller-buyer agreement on TAN, deduction timing, withholding, release, Form 27Q, and liability if the deduction proves short — the half that gets forgotten and produces litigation years later. Apply early — the certificate runs only from issue to the end of that financial year, can't be backdated, so leave a margin before the sale deed. Each non-resident co-owner is a separate assessee filing a separate Form 128 under their own PAN on their own share — never two PANs on one application. Do NOT use: where the seller is resident (flat 1%, no Form 128); as the sale agreement/deed itself; where a non-resident is BUYING agricultural land (NRIs/OCIs may sell but not buy — a FEMA issue, not TDS); as a substitute for the return of income; or where title rests on an old GPA-plus-will "GPA sale" (no capital gain to someone who never owned the asset — get a title lawyer first). For Chandigarh, check the Estate Office FIRST whether the sale can complete: following the Supreme Court's 10 January 2023 judgment (Residents Welfare Association v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, SLP(C) Nos. 4950/5489 of 2022) barring Phase-I fragmentation, the Estate Officer's notice effective 10 February 2023 permits only family transfers/wills or 100%-to-one-person transfers — other residential transfers are frozen pending the Heritage Committee (status unclear September 2026). Ask at the Estate Office, Sector 17-C, before spending months on a certificate the Estate Office won't permit. A leasehold site also needs the Estate Officer's prior NOC and one-third of the unearned increase first.₹99खोलें
- Possession Letter (Kabza Patra)Use on the day the seller hands over keys, after the sale deed (bainama) is signed — registry pending or not. Settles whether possession passed and when, deciding who pays the disputed month's bills, who bears an accident's loss, when s.24(b) interest deduction starts, and settled possession vs trespass in litigation. Also corroborative for the capital-gains holding period, which on a resale runs from the conveyance. For a resale handover — flat, house, floor, plot, shop, office; any number of sellers; financed or not. Do NOT use without a sale deed: possession under a bare agreement to sell is deemed a conveyance in most states, full ad valorem duty — execute the deed first. Do NOT use once the registration window has closed: four months from signing, extendable four more on a fine; beyond that, no registration. Do NOT use for a builder-to-allottee handover of a new flat — needs the occupancy certificate, RERA defect-liability period, maintenance corpus and delay compensation.₹99खोलें
- Application for Execution of the Conveyance Deed and No Due Certificate (GMADA / GLADA / PUDA Allottee)For a plot, house, booth, SCO, industrial, institutional or group-housing site allotted by one of Punjab's six urban development authorities (GMADA Mohali, GLADA Ludhiana, ADA Amritsar, JDA Jalandhar, BDA Bathinda, PDA Patiala), once you've paid the Authority everything demanded, to get a No Due Certificate and the conveyance deed executed and registered. This matters more than allottees realise: under s.43(6), Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act 1995, the land stays the Authority's until fully paid — an allotment letter isn't title, only a right to have title conveyed; s.43(7) bars transfer without the Authority's prior permission. Three reasons to file rather than sit on the allotment letter: a loan is easier against a registered deed; a buyer's advocate wants a registered instrument (the GPA-plus-agreement route the Supreme Court disapproved in Suraj Lamp v. State of Haryana gets discounted); and GMADA's transfer-permission form charges 2.5% (residential/commercial) or 5% (houses) of the allotment/auction price ONLY if sought before the conveyance deed issues — getting the deed first saves that (Rs 1.25–2.5 lakh on a Rs 50 lakh site). Two notified services, askable on one file: GLADA gives 7 working days for a no-dues certificate and 15 for a conveyance deed; GMADA gives 15 days for the conveyance (no published GMADA no-dues figure, ADA/JDA/BDA/PDA periods unverified — clause 8 asks the Estate Officer to apply whichever period governs). Delay is appealable to the Additional Chief Administrator under the Punjab Right to Service Act 2011 — keep the diary receipt. On a combined filing, the certificate doesn't exist yet, so the deed limb may be split at the counter; clause 7 sequences the two limbs, or leave the deed-copies question blank and file for the certificate alone first. Do NOT use for a private-builder/colonizer purchase — PAPRA 1995 + RERA 2016 instead (promoter conveys within 3 months of possession, s.15, or faces unilateral registration under s.16; s.44 excludes authority land). Do NOT use for Chandigarh Estate Office property — a different Act, a 30-day conveyance/15-day NDC service, registered at 30 Bays Building. Do NOT use if money is outstanding — filing on a short account is a false affidavit (clause 3.2). Do NOT use where the allottee has died — heirs must first transfer by succession (GMADA: 45 days) before applying. Don't sidestep an extension-fee dispute — part of s.43(6)'s "other dues" (GMADA's ladder starts only in the 4th year). Read the Annexure A undertaking before signing: you're agreeing to pay any final/additional price the Estate Officer determines LATER, even after registration, accepting resumption (with whatever's built) if you don't — GLADA's own affidavit says so; other authorities are substantively the same. Take advice if your scheme's land-acquisition compensation is still litigated. Both joint holders take this liability (Annexure A-1 for the second holder) — the Estate Officer won't convey to one joint holder alone.₹99खोलें
- Sale Deed (Bainama)Use this when one or more individuals are selling a built residential property they own FREEHOLD — a kothi, a builder floor, a flat, a Chandigarh Housing Board dwelling unit — outright to one or more individual buyers in Punjab or in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and the whole price is being paid on or before registration. This is the conveyance itself: the document that actually moves ownership. Until it is stamped and registered, ownership has not moved, no matter what has been paid and no matter who is living in the house. Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 says that tangible immovable property of the value of one hundred rupees and upwards can be transferred only by a registered instrument. Section 17(1)(b) of the Registration Act, 1908 makes registration compulsory for any non-testamentary instrument that creates, declares, assigns, limits or extinguishes a right, title or interest of the value of one hundred rupees and upwards in immovable property. A sale deed for a residential property is squarely inside both. Section 49 of the Registration Act sets out what happens if you do not register it: the document does not affect the property at all, and it cannot be received in evidence of any transaction affecting the property. Under the proviso to section 49 it survives only as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance, or of a collateral transaction. In plain terms — an unregistered sale deed gives you a lawsuit, not a house. FREEHOLD ONLY, AND THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO CHECK. The operative words in clause 1 convey the property absolutely and forever with no reversion in anybody, and clause 7 has the seller covenant that he holds it freehold and that no ground rent is payable. Those words are simply false of a leasehold site, and using them does not make a leasehold site freehold. Most older Chandigarh sector property was allotted on lease unless it was later converted under the Chandigarh Conversion of Residential Leasehold Land Tenure into Free Hold Land Tenure Rules, 1996 — conversion charges for residential property were revised in September 2025 and are now pegged to the collector rate, so a house in Sector 16 of about 150 square metres reportedly costs around Rs 19 lakh to convert against roughly Rs 10 lakh before. A leasehold Chandigarh site carries a reversion in Government, a 33-year lease renewable twice under Rule 11 of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007, ground rent under Rule 12 at 2.5% of the premium for the first 33 years, 3.75% for the next 33 and 5% thereafter, a bar on transfer for fifteen years from allotment under Rule 7(i), and one-third of the unearned increase payable to Government under Rule 7(ii) before the sale can be registered at all. The duty is different too: the Chandigarh Administration's published schedule charges a sale, gift, conveyance or sub-conveyance at 5% but charges a transfer of lease rights by way of sale, and a transfer of sub-lease rights by way of sale, at 3%. So a leasehold seller who uses this deed both overpays the duty and recites a tenure the property does not have. Look at the Estate Office file or the allotment letter — not at the seller's memory — and if it says leasehold, either convert first or use a transfer-of-lease-rights deed. A leasehold plot in a Punjab urban estate developed by a development authority, and an allotment on which no conveyance deed has yet been executed, are in the same position. This template is written in two editions and you must pick one. Answer the jurisdiction question, then fill 'Tehsil and district (Punjab property only)' for a Punjab property and leave the Chandigarh field blank, or fill 'Chandigarh property — sector, village or Estate Office site particulars' for a Chandigarh property and leave the Punjab field blank. Everything that differs between the two — the duty computation, the office you go to, the fee and its ceiling, how many copies you print, who your first witness may be, the local title covenants, and what happens to the public record afterwards — is printed from whichever of those two location fields you fill. Filling both, or neither, produces a deed that is wrong on its face: with both, two contradictory duty clauses and two registering offices print; with neither, the deed carries no stamp-duty clause and names no Sub-Registrar, and the Punjab levy boxes are never even shown, so the deed goes to the counter short by 2.25% of the chargeable value. The form cannot refuse that combination for you, because the only rules this template language can enforce between two fields are rules about the order of two dates. So the deed prints a self-check note at its head, naming the jurisdiction you answered and listing the clauses that must have printed for it. Read that note before anyone signs. The reason the two editions cannot be merged is that they are two different title machines. In Punjab the public record of a house is the jamabandi, the deed is registered before the Sub-Registrar or Joint Sub-Registrar of the tehsil — the Tehsildar and Naib Tehsildar sitting as those officers ex officio, with the Deputy Commissioner as Registrar of the district — the Sub-Registrar then issues a Parcha Yadasht to the Office Kanungo at the Tehsildar's office, and the mutation (intkal) is entered by the Halqa Patwari, checked by the Field Kanungo and sanctioned by the Circle Revenue Officer. In Chandigarh there are two tracks and you must know which one your property is on. For a site in a planned sector there is no jamabandi at all: the Estate Officer's allotment file is the title record, the Sub-Registrar at 30 Bays Building, Sector 17 registers the deed, and since 2025 mutation is triggered automatically from the Sub-Registrar's office into the Estate Office system — which means the buyer's affidavit-cum-indemnity bond has to be filed at registration, because there is no later mutation application in which to file it. For a property in one of the Union Territory's revenue villages — Manimajra, or a lal dora or phirni area — there IS a jamabandi, kept by the Revenue Department of the Chandigarh Administration, the official registration checklist calls for a fard and a report of the Naib Tehsildar (Revenue), and mutation runs through the revenue office rather than automatically. The deed asks you which track applies and prints accordingly. Do not use this document if: the property is held on lease, or on an allotment on which no conveyance has been executed; the price is being paid in instalments after handover and you want security for the balance (use an agreement to sell, then this deed on final payment); the property is agricultural land, or the land use has not been converted (a sale of agricultural land in a revenue estate needs its own schedule of khewat, khatauni, khasra and share, and raises questions about the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 and consolidation that this deed does not address); the seller is a builder or a development authority selling a new unit; or the transfer is really a gift, an exchange, a release between co-owners or a family settlement. That last one is worth money. In Punjab, stamp duty is remitted IN WHOLE on a lifetime transfer by an owner to a blood relation, expressly defined as children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, by Order No. S.O.28/C.A.2/1899/S.9/2014 dated 7 May 2014. In Chandigarh the published schedule charges a family settlement at 2% and an exchange at 3%, and exempts a transfer deed between blood relations from duty altogether. Executing a family transfer as a sale at 5% throws that away. Finally, do not use this if the person signing holds only a general power of attorney and no registered conveyance in their own name, because a GPA sale does not transfer title — Suraj Lamp & Industries (P) Ltd. v. State of Haryana, (2012) 1 SCC 656. One more local stop-sign before you spend money on stamp paper. In Chandigarh, the Estate Officer's Public Notice effective 10 February 2023, issued after the Supreme Court's judgment of 10 January 2023 in Residents Welfare Association v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, permits only four categories of residential dealing pending a decision of the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee. One of them is a transfer where 100% of the property is bought by one person or by persons of the same family, whether or not the present owners are related to each other — so an ordinary whole-unit sale is inside it. A sale of less than the whole unit, or a purchase by buyers who are not one family, is outside it, and both the transfer and the mutation are stopped. Whether the Heritage Committee has since decided has not been established, so ask at the Estate Office, Town Hall, Sector 17-C before you sign anything. A sale outside the permitted categories can be executed and registered and still fail to mutate. Chandigarh Housing Board flats and apartments approved under the 2001 Rules are not affected by that notice.₹799खोलें
- Purchaser's Liability Affidavit and Seller's No-Encumbrance Affidavit (Zimmedari Halafnama for an Authority Plot Transfer)For a plot, house, SCF, SCO, booth, small shopping or industrial site allotted by one of Punjab's six development authorities (GMADA Mohali, GLADA Ludhiana, ADA Amritsar, JDA Jalandhar, BDA Bathinda, PDA Patiala) being sold, gifted or transferred, where the Estate Officer's permission is required first: s.43(7), Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act 1995, bars transfer without it; s.43(6) keeps the land the Authority's until fully paid. Three papers — the RTS form asks for three: (i) the application; (ii) Purchaser's Liability Affidavit; (iii) Seller's affidavit of no encumbrances/litigation/liens/mortgage — both on their own Rs 25 paper, each with its own Schedule and penal recital. READ Part 3 clause 2.2 first: the Liability Affidavit makes the purchaser take over the allottee's open-ended liability to pay any final/additional price the Estate Officer determines LATER, even after registration (GLADA's affidavit says so) — behind enhancement demands hitting whole sectors years later, no statutory cap. Also accepts resumption of the site on failure to pay. Extension fees matter too: where the completion certificate wasn't obtained in time, the Authority charges an extension fee half-yearly (from the 4th year), against the SITE — this pack refuses a blanket nil (Seller: Part 2 clause 7.4; Purchaser: Part 3 clause 2.3). Also covers a family transfer (GMADA: father/mother/son/daughter/husband/wife/brother/sister), priced differently only on the processing fee. Do NOT use for a private-builder/coloniser purchase (PAPRA s.44(1) excludes authority land — runs on a PAPRA licence and conveyance within 3 months of possession, s.15). Do NOT use for jamabandi-descended land (registered sale deed over khasra numbers, no Estate Officer in that chain — use a title affidavit instead). Do NOT use for an Improvement Trust plot (Punjab Town Improvement Act 1922, own forms). Do NOT use in Chandigarh — not PUDA land; the Estate Office works under the Capital of Punjab Act 1952, own affidavit-cum-indemnity bond filed at the Sub-Registrar since 2025. And it isn't the transfer itself: permission plus the re-allotment letter moves the Authority's record; the conveyance deed and sale deed still need applying for/executing and registering before the Sub-Registrar.₹199खोलें
- Affidavit About Payment of the ConsiderationA sworn statement on the agreed consideration and how it was paid, for a registering authority, lender or adviser. Identify the deed, consideration, amount paid, banking trail, and any lawful cash component. Evidentiary only — doesn't transfer title or contradict the conveyance; the deponent must personally know the facts.₹199खोलें
- Conveyance Deed From a SocietyFor a co-op society's formal conveyance of a property interest to a member/transferee — not a mere membership-transfer form. Identify the society, registration number, allotment/title basis, unit, consideration, dues, common rights, and signatory authority. Since this conveys real rights, it must be stamped/registered — without it, possession plus a share certificate may not prove registered title.₹799खोलें
- Deed of Confirmation of SaleFor confirming a recital, receipt, authority, or execution fact on an already-completed transaction — not a new transfer. Confirms facts already done (consideration, execution, possession, authority); an actual ownership/extent/consideration change needs a fresh conveyance or rectification deed instead. If the prior transaction is registered, register this too — its stamp treatment turns on confirming versus creating rights.₹799खोलें
- Deed of Rectification of a Sale DeedFor correcting a genuine error in a registered sale deed — names, measurements, boundaries, recitals — without pretending the conveyance never happened. State the incorrect and corrected facts precisely: is the change truly corrective, or does it alter ownership/area/consideration (needing a fresh instrument)? Register it so the record reads with the original — otherwise mismatches cause mutation/loan/title-search problems later.₹799खोलें
- Deemed Conveyance ApplicationFor when an allottees' association says the promoter hasn't completed transfer of title/common-area rights — a structured application to the competent authority, not the conveyance deed itself. Assembles the project identity, promoter, allottee body, the conveyance obligation, and supporting documents. RERA s.17 obliges title transfer and handover, but 'deemed conveyance' procedure is jurisdiction-specific.₹999खोलें
- Form 60 Declaration for a Property TransactionFor entering a specified property transaction without PAN, needing the statutory no-PAN declaration — historically Form 60. Form 97 replaces it from 1 April 2026 (Income-tax Act 2025/Rules 2026, per Rule 159(2)); this keeps the 'Form 60' name but asks for the transaction date, since that decides which form applies.₹99खोलें
- Indemnity for Delayed RegistrationFor when a sale/conveyance is executed but can't register immediately — a lender, authority, or availability delay. Risk: s.23 needs presentation within 4 months (only the limited s.25 extension exists). Identify the instrument, dates, delay reason, money paid, possession, and who bears the loss from non-cooperation.₹199खोलें
- Possession and Handover MemoFor 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.₹99खोलें
- Receipt for the Balance Sale ConsiderationFor the buyer paying the final balance, to get the seller's written acknowledgment — valuable alongside the deed's own consideration recital, as a separate bank-matchable trail. State total consideration, prior payments, amount received, anything still due. Doesn't transfer title. Without it, a party can later claim a transfer was really a loan.₹99खोलें
- Registration Presentation ChecklistFor a final check before presenting a property instrument for registration. Failures usually come from mismatched identifiers, missing stamp payment, unresolved NOCs, PAN/TDS issues, or a date drifting toward the statutory limit (Registration Act s.23: four months; s.25's delayed-presentation window is limited). Verifies stamping, fee, identities, tax declarations, title documents, NOCs, dues. Not a title certification.₹99खोलें
- Sale Certificate on an Auction PurchaseFor a court/bank/statutory-recovery auction purchase, to get the formal sale certificate — unlike a bilateral sale deed. The authority certifies under the auction's own power/order: notice/lot, bid, payment, interest sold — shouldn't overstate possession beyond the auction's terms. Registration/stamp treatment depends on the issuing authority, not the private-deed route.₹99खोलें
- Sale Deed for Agricultural LandFor an agricultural-land purchase, the final registered deed matching the revenue record and possession. Needs the revenue village, tehsil, khewat/khatauni, khasra numbers, area/share and jamabandi reference — a street address isn't enough. Disclose any cultivator/tenant, standing-crop handling, and known acquisition/charge/litigation. Mutation is a later revenue consequence, not a substitute. In Punjab, deed-vs-revenue mismatches cause major disputes.₹799खोलें
- Sale Deed for an Apartment With Undivided ShareFor a completed apartment resale, where the buyer takes the unit plus the seller's proportionate share in land/common areas. Identify the apartment number, areas, project, undivided share, parking, possession, title documents — a flat number alone leaves the common-area interest uncertain. For a RERA project, s.17 covers common-area title transfer. Completed transfers only, not under-construction allotments.₹799खोलें
- Sale Deed for a PlotFor completing an outright plot purchase with the final registered instrument that transfers title. Unlike an agreement to sell, the deed must identify the plot with registration-grade certainty, recite the title source, state the payment trail, allocate possession/dues, address encumbrances (TP Act 1882 s.54; Registration Act 1908). Calculate stamp/registration from the transaction-date local schedule. The closing title instrument, not a booking form.₹799खोलें
- Intimation of TDS on a Property Purchase (Section 194-IA)For a buyer purchasing from a resident seller, to record how TDS is handled. Titled after s.194-IA, but the regime depends on the date: old Form 26QB on or before 31 March 2026; Income-tax Act 2025 and Form 141 from 1 April 2026 — rates/thresholds unchanged. Forces the correct-regime choice, consideration/stamp-duty value, deduction, and PAN/share details. An intimation record only — doesn't replace the statutory challan.₹99खोलें

- Application for Re-transfer and Issue of a Re-allotment Letter after a Registered Deed (GMADA / GLADA / ADA / JDA / BDA / PDA)For when you've bought a plot, house, SCO, SCF, booth or industrial site from someone allotted it by GMADA, GLADA, ADA, JDA, BDA or PDA — the seller had Estate Officer permission, you executed and registered the sale/gift deed — but the Authority's own file still shows the seller, not you. This fixes that. Under s.43(6), Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act 1995, the land stays the Authority's until fully paid; under s.43(7), rights move only with the Authority's permission. The permission and deed pass what the allottee has, but neither changes the Authority's own record — only the Estate Officer's re-transfer order and re-allotment letter does that. Skip this and the Authority keeps dealing with the seller: every demand/notice goes to the seller's address; you can't get a no-dues certificate, mortgage permission, conveyance deed, or utility connection; and on arrears, the Estate Officer resumes the property in the SELLER'S name — the commonest silent failure in a resale. It's cheap and fast: GMADA allows 5 working days for re-transfer, GLADA 15. Do it the week after registration. Do NOT use: before the deed is registered (needs a certified deed copy plus the permission letter); where the allottee has died (a different 45-day succession service — death certificate, heirs' affidavits, Legal Heir Certificate); for a private-builder purchase (PAPRA 1995 instead — promoter conveys within 3 months of possession, s.15; s.44 excludes authority land); for a duplicate re-allotment letter (GMADA 10/3/10 days; GLADA 21); for the conveyance deed itself (re-transfer first — the Authority won't convey to someone off its record; conveyance is a further 15-day service); for a resumed property or pending s.45 show-cause (appeal to the Chief Administrator within 30 days, revision to the State Government within a further 30); or a Chandigarh Estate Office site (different Act — Punjab-only).₹99खोलें
- Assignment of an Agreement to SellFor substituting a new buyer into an existing agreement to sell before conveyance — more than assigning a bare booking, since it carries defined rights/obligations. Identify the source agreement, why assignment is permitted, which rights move, pre/post liability, seller/promoter recognition, and handover of originals/payment records. Per s.54 TPA, the original created no property interest — this assigns contractual rights, not title.₹399खोलें
- Assignment of Booking RightsFor moving a booked apartment/plot/shop's contractual rights to another person before final conveyance — not yet a sale deed. Separates the transferor's promoter-facing rights from the transferee's payment obligations, instalments, transfer charges, and the promoter's approval procedure. RERA s.13/s.19 still matter — RERA gives no universal right to transfer regardless of the allotment terms.₹399खोलें
- Builder NOC for Transfer of an AllotmentFor confirming whether the promoter permits an allottee change, when records still show the original name — a promoter decision, not another resale agreement. Records the unit, transfer request, outstanding dues, transfer charges, lender release, KYC, and the substitution method. The promoter stays bound by RERA regardless — without this NOC, the incoming party may pay yet stay off the promoter's ledger.₹99खोलें
- Consent of a Co-Allottee to a TransferFor a co-allottee's written consent to a transfer, exit, substitution or restructure — proof the promoter/incoming transferee aren't bypassing them. States the current share, the exact change, any consideration claim, lender condition, and waiver scope. Alone, it doesn't complete the transfer — assignment, substitution and lender release still must happen.₹99खोलें
- Nomination and Transfer Form for an AllotmentA structured form for the promoter's process to change the allottee record — the administrative bridge, not the resale contract. State the interest transferred, relationship (for charges), consideration status, transfer-charge receipt, lender NOC, and who takes future demands. For a RERA project, rights pass via the substituted record (s.19). Without it, the promoter may keep billing the outgoing allottee.₹99खोलें
- Resale Agreement for an Under-Construction PropertyFor buying/selling an under-construction unit from an existing allottee before the promoter's final conveyance. Two payment layers: a resale premium to the outgoing allottee, and a separate unpaid balance owed the promoter. Identify both, promoter approval/substitution, the demand cutoff, lender payoff, transfer charges. For a RERA project, rights pass only via recognised substitution. Without this, the buyer can face cancellation for unpaid instalments. A conditional resale of allotment rights, not a sale deed.₹399खोलें
- Application for Substitution of an AllotteeOnce a private resale/assignment is documented, the promoter still needs a formal application to substitute the incoming allottee in its records. States why, identifies the transfer document, shows dues/transfer-charge status, attaches lender consents/KYC. For a RERA project, the promoter-allottee relationship stays governed by the Act. Without it, the outgoing allottee keeps receiving instalment/conveyance notices.₹99खोलें
- Transfer Charges Payment ReceiptFor proof of a transfer charge paid to the promoter for an allottee change or resale. Identify the project, unit, payer, amount, tax, reference — and what the receipt does NOT prove: payment isn't promoter approval, lender release, or final conveyance. NOC/KYC or a substitution instrument may still be needed. Payment evidence only.₹99खोलें
- Tripartite Transfer of a Home Loan on ResaleFor reselling an under-construction unit where the outgoing allottee still has a home loan and the incoming buyer is also financing. Three steps must line up: the outgoing lender's payoff, the promoter's substitution, and the incoming lender's disbursement. Records the payoff statement, sanction, disbursement waterfall and reversal mechanics — doesn't itself discharge or create a mortgage. Without it, proceeds can be paid before substitution, or the old charge left outstanding.₹399खोलें

- Deed of Cancellation of Agreement to SellFor a signed bainama, before the sale deed, when both sides want out. Records mutual cancellation, settles the bayana (returned/kept/split), releases both sides, and registers the cancellation too if the original was registered, so the buyer's entry stops clouding title. Not for: a registered sale deed (needs cancellation-of-sale-deed/reconveyance); one-sided exits (void — the remedy is a suit); or a RERA allotment (its own terms govern).₹799खोलें
- Cancellation of a Sale Deed by ConsentFor reversing an ALREADY-COMPLETED sale deed by consent — unlike cancelling an unperformed agreement, since a registered deed already transfers ownership (s.54 TPA) and 'cancelled' alone doesn't restore title. Address the deed, repayment, possession/originals, lender releases, and the reversal's own stamp/registration treatment. Genuine consent needs a registered reversal instrument; disputes may need Specific Relief Act court relief instead.₹799खोलें
- Deed of Cancellation of a Registered InstrumentFor formally cancelling a registered instrument, entered on the registration record too — covers a registered agreement to sell, assignment, lease or development agreement, only where law/vested rights permit. Identify the instrument, the cancellation basis, unwind payments/possession, address third parties, state surviving clauses. Registration offices record instruments, not adjudicate disputes.₹799खोलें
- Notice of Forfeiture of Earnest MoneyFor when the buyer allegedly breached the sale agreement after paying earnest money, and the seller wants to formally state a forfeiture position — without assuming 'earnest money' alone makes the sum confiscable. S.74 caps compensation at a reasonable amount. State the precise breach, due date, the seller's readiness, any prior cure notice, and the amount retained — an asserted right, not an adjudicated one.₹99खोलें
- Mutual Rescission of an Agreement to SellFor when buyer and seller both want to end an agreement to sell before the sale deed completes — since it's executory, rescission unwinds the contractual rights: identify the source agreement, the reason, return buyer payments, end any possession, handle originals, and specify surviving claims. Per s.54 TPA, a sale contract creates no property interest by itself. Link release to actual restoration of money, not a blanket no-claim clause.₹399खोलें
- No-Claim Certificate on a Cancelled SaleUse once a cancelled sale's refund and settlement are complete, to certify which claims are discharged: the transaction, refund reference, and what's released vs reserved — avoid a sweeping 'no claim of any kind', which can waive unrelated brokerage/tax/fraud issues. Make the release conditional if a step is pending. Doesn't cancel a registered conveyance, bind third parties, or cure a defective cancellation instrument.₹99खोलें
- Notice of Rescission for Defective TitleFor when due diligence reveals a material title defect preventing completion. TP Act 1882 s.55 puts disclosure duties on the seller, for defects the buyer couldn't discover with ordinary care. Identify the defect/evidence, when discovered, any cure opportunity, the rescission election, and refund demand — don't use 'defective title' as vague buyer's-remorse cover. Respect any contractual cure process first.₹99खोलें
- Refund of Earnest Money LetterFor when a proposed sale falls through and the recipient returns the earnest/token money. A clean payment trail: the cancelled transaction, amount received, reason, sum returned, any agreed deduction, mode — don't quietly convert this into a no-claim certificate unless all claims are settled. Prevents disputes over whether payment was returned, adjusted, or forfeited. A refund record only — doesn't cancel a registered sale deed.₹99खोलें
- Release of Escrow on CancellationFor 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.₹399खोलें
- Withdrawal of a Booking and Refund RequestFor withdrawing a booking before final conveyance, with a refund request tied to the stage — application, allotment letter, or agreement for sale, each a different legal position. For a RERA project, s.13 bars over 10% of cost as advance without a registered agreement. State the amount paid, stage, reason, refund sought, and your position on any deduction — don't assume every charge is valid. Preserves the right to dispute an unsupported deduction.₹99खोलें
