Why you need it

When you need it

An administrative certificate naming a deceased's legal heirs, for a property, pension or bank file — not probate. No single statute fixes one office, fee or route for Punjab and Chandigarh; name the actual authority and reason — it does not adjudicate disputed title. A will or contested succession needs a court instead. Chandigarh sector transmission runs through the Estate Office, not jamabandi or mutation. Section, fee, time limit and appeal route are unconfirmed.

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 — an administrative request, not an instrument (s.2(14)).

Registration

Not registrable (s.17); a later release, partition or transfer deed among heirs is separate.

Notarisation

Signed by the applicant; a separately-required sworn heir affidavit is its own attested document.

Witnesses

Not required; the applicant signs.
