An administrative certificate naming a deceased's legal heirs — Punjab: Tehsildar/SDM where the deceased last resided; Chandigarh: DC's office via SDM, through e-Sampark. One purpose: letting an office pay out or move a file. Both offices have their own form: Punjab wants a court-fee stamp on the office form; Chandigarh wants "green sheet" legal paper with Rs 1.25 court fee. Annexures A (sworn, stamp paper) and B (signed, plain paper) go in as-is. The one place it's NOT optional: a development authority (GMADA etc.) transfers a dead allottee's plot only on a certificate IN ORIGINAL — OR an affidavit from the ward Councillor, Sarpanch or Group A officer, often FASTER. Check the checklist: death certificate original, liability affidavit and photo ID from every heir, mortgage clearance. Elsewhere: banks, insurers, employers, the pension authority, EPFO, PSPCL and municipal tax counters all want it first. Use it when the death is registered, heirs agree, and nothing is disputed. Not for: proving title (decides nothing about ownership); moving a Punjab jamabandi entry (needs a virasat intkal, s.34, PLRA — different application); Chandigarh sector property without asking the Estate Office first (revenue villages like Manimajra are the exception); in place of a succession certificate for debts or securities (s.372, ISA 1925 — commonly confused); or where a will needs proving, an heir disputes the list, an heir cannot be traced, or Muslim-law shares are in argument.

नीचे जो लिखा है वह पंजाब और चंडीगढ़ के लिए है। इसमें वहीं की स्थिति दी गई है, यह नहीं कि यह कहाँ-कहाँ कैसे बदलती है — यानी नीचे की रकमें वही हैं जो लागू होती हैं। दरें बदलती रहती हैं, इसलिए सब-रजिस्ट्रार दफ़्तर से पक्का कर लेना ठीक रहता है। अगर प्रॉपर्टी भारत में कहीं और है, तो इनमें से कुछ भी आपके लिए नहीं है।

स्टाम्प ड्यूटी

Not an instrument of transfer — no ad valorem duty, cess or registration fee; it is not among the 11 priced instruments on Punjab's table. Punjab counter cost: the office form with a fixed Schedule II, Court Fees Act, 1870 stamp; Annexure A affidavit with a fixed Article 4, Schedule I-A duty (deponent's own name; ask the vendor the current denomination — the table is undated). Filing via a Sewa Kendra adds its own facilitation charge and two extra Right-to-Service days. Chandigarh's published numbers: "green sheet" plus Rs 1.25 court fee, an attested affidavit on Rs 5 stamp paper, the death certificate original, and (for service claims) a department letter to the DC's office, plus six-month residence proof. e-Sampark service charge Rs 50, stated time 20 working days. Two unrelated stamp-buying thresholds in Chandigarh: online e-Stamp is capped at Rs 500 for citizens; physical vendors serve up to Rs 50,000, the Central Treasury (State Bank of India, Sector 17) above that. The duty that actually bites comes later, on the instrument dividing or transferring what is inherited. Punjab: sale/gift 5% plus 1% cess, 1% registration fee (capped Rs 2,00,000), 1% PIDB, plus tiered facilitation charges of Rs 1,000-5,000. Chandigarh: sale/gift/conveyance 5% (portals say 6%, unconfirmed — verify at the Sub-Registrar, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17), 1% registration (capped Rs 10,000) plus Rs 20 pasting; a blood-relation transfer is exempt, a family settlement is 2%. Chandigarh Collector rates (1 April 2026-31 March 2027): Sectors 1-12 Rs 2,37,900 per square yard, 14-37 Rs 1,81,300, 38 onwards Rs 1,33,200.

रजिस्ट्री

Neither the application nor the certificate is registrable — s.17 doesn't reach a revenue-officer application, and s.18 optional registration adds nothing; it's an administrative record, not a title document. What follows depends on jurisdiction. Punjab village/agricultural land: the certificate isn't operative — the MUTATION is (s.34, PLRA; s.34(3) duty to enter even unreported), validated by the Field Kanungo, sanctioned by the CRO (fee Rs 600 + Rs 200 pasting). Report death within 3 months (s.39: fine up to 5x the fee). Mutations ordered by 15 June enter the new jamabandi (para 7.56); also raisable online at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in. Punjab authority land (GMADA etc.): the certificate goes in WITH the transfer application at the estate branch — 45 days, wanting the death certificate, a liability affidavit and photo ID from every heir, mortgage clearance, and the certificate (or the Councillor/Sarpanch/Group A affidavit alternative); fee revised each 1 April. A will or disagreement sends the authority to probate instead. Chandigarh sector property: no Punjab-style mutation — the Estate Officer's allotment file is the record, transmission applied for at the Estate Office. Auto-mutation (since 2025) triggers only off a REGISTERED DEED, not a death — apply regardless. Following RWA v. UT Chandigarh (SC, 10 Jan 2023), the 10 Feb 2023 Public Notice permits in-family transfers but STOPS others pending a Heritage Committee decision — ask if that freeze still runs. Rule 16 bars fragmenting a site. A Housing Board flat instead goes to the Board (25 working days). Time limits on the CERTIFICATE: Punjab — Tehsildar/SDM decides, SDM first appeal, DC second; 15 working days. Chandigarh — 20 working days per e-Sampark. Keep the dated, numbered acknowledgement; the clock runs only from a COMPLETE application.

नोटरी

The application is signed, not notarised. Annexure A MUST be sworn before a Notary, an Oath Commissioner, or an empowered Executive Magistrate/Tehsildar — under s.3, Oaths Act, 1969 (s.5 affirmation has equal force). The deponent must be an adult. Oath Commissioners sit at district courts (Punjab, and Sector 43, Chandigarh); Notaries at tehsils; a small fee. The officer completes the jurat, signs, seals and registers it — copy the serial number onto your file. Chandigarh's Estate Office now accepts a notarised affidavit instead of an Executive-Magistrate-attested one; documents executed outside India need Finance Department embossing first (Punjab has its own embossing counter). An heir abroad swears before an Indian consular officer or notarises locally with apostille, posting the original — not a scan. Annexure B is NOT notarised.

गवाह

No attesting witnesses are required, for the application or the affidavit — the jurat authenticates. The will's s.63/s.67 and the gift's ss.122-123 rules belong elsewhere. What the counter wants is IDENTIFICATION: rural Punjab — the Lambardar, Sarpanch or a Panch; urban Punjab and Chandigarh — a ward Councillor or gazetted officer; a Group A officer everywhere. Two identifiers, with names, parentage, address, signature; never one who takes a share under this certificate. Expect a local enquiry and a possible public notice; attend, carry originals. Annexure B is a no-objection, not a relinquishment. Part 1: heirs who sign; Part 2: any heir told but not signing, matching paragraph 8(d). NEVER sign Part 1 for someone else, and never drop a name from Schedule I to solve a missing signature — the commonest reason a certificate is cancelled years later. A share is given up only by a separate, duty-bearing, registrable instrument (s.17(1)(b); s.49). A later Chandigarh deed registration needs two witnesses, the first qualifying under paragraph 127, Punjab Registration Manual.

APPLICATION FOR THE ISSUE OF A LEGAL HEIR CERTIFICATE

HOW THIS PACK IS FILED, AND WHERE THE COURT-FEE STAMP GOES. The office you file at keeps its own printed application form, and the counter expects that sheet. In Punjab the application goes in on the office's own form, with the court-fee stamp of the prescribed denomination affixed on that form. In Chandigarh the e-Sampark checklist requires the application on legal paper — the green sheet — with a court fee of Rs 1.25 affixed on it, and a typed sheet that is not the green legal paper is refused at the window. This pack is therefore drafted to be transcribed onto the office's form, or annexed to that form as the detailed statement in support of it. It does not replace the form. Annexures A and B go in as they stand: Annexure A engrossed on its own non-judicial stamp paper or e-Stamp certificate and sworn, Annexure B on plain paper and signed. Where the counter is content to take this pack itself as the application, affix the court-fee stamp in the space marked immediately below; otherwise leave that space blank and affix the stamp on the office's form.

[ AFFIX COURT-FEE STAMP HERE — in Punjab, the fixed denomination under Schedule II of the Court Fees Act, 1870 as in force in Punjab, bought from the licensed stamp vendor at the tehsil complex; in Chandigarh, Rs 1.25. ]

The Tehsildar,
Office of the Tehsildar, Tehsil Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali), Mini Secretariat, Sector 76, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali) 160055, Punjab

Sir / Madam,

Subject: Application for the issue of a Legal Heir Certificate in respect of the late Gurcharan Singh, who died on 1 April 2026.

THE APPLICANT

I, Harpreet Kaur, aged 44 years and therefore a major competent to make this application and to swear the affidavit at Annexure A, son of Late S. Gurcharan Singh, residing at House No. 214, Phase 3B2, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali) 160059, Punjab, holding Aadhaar No. XXXX XXXX 1234 and contactable on +91 XXXXX XXXXX, respectfully submit this application. I am the son of the deceased named in paragraph 2 below, and I am one of the legal heirs listed in Schedule I to this application.

My email address for notices in this matter is harpreet.kaur@example.com.

THE DECEASED

(a) Name: Gurcharan Singh, son of Late S. Bachan Singh.

(b) The deceased professed the Hindu faith.

(d) Date of death: 1 April 2026. Place of death: Civil Hospital, Phase 6, Mohali.

(e) The death stands registered under Death Certificate No. D-2025-MOH-014782 dated 2 April 2026, issued by Registrar of Births and Deaths, Municipal Corporation, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar. A copy is enclosed and the original is produced with this application for verification.

(f) Ration card / family card No. PB-03-014-0098765 stands in the name of the deceased or of the family of the deceased, and a copy is enclosed.

JURISDICTION OF THIS OFFICE, AND THE SERVICE APPLIED FOR

(a) The address at paragraph 2(c) above lies within the territorial jurisdiction of this office in the State of Punjab, and this application is made under the Punjab Transparency and Accountability in Delivery of Public Services Act, 2018.

(b) I request that this application be registered, that an acknowledgement bearing a reference number and the date of receipt be issued to me, and that the certificate be delivered within the time limit notified for this service.

PERSONAL LAW AND TESTAMENTARY POSITION

(a) The deceased having professed the Hindu faith, succession to the estate of the deceased is governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.

(b) The deceased died intestate, that is, without leaving any Will.

THE LEGAL HEIRS

(a) The legal heirs of the deceased are 4 in number, including myself. Their names, relationships to the deceased, ages, marital status and addresses are set out in Schedule I to this application. To the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the deceased left no legal heir other than the persons named in Schedule I.

(b) No person entitled to succeed under the personal law stated in paragraph 4(a) has been omitted from Schedule I. In particular, every daughter of the deceased has been named, whether married or unmarried; and where the deceased was a Hindu, I am aware that a daughter is a coparcener in her own right by birth under section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 as amended with effect from 9 September 2005, and that her right does not depend on whether her father was living on that date.

(c) Annexure B to this application is the no-objection declaration of the legal heirs other than the applicant. Where the applicant is the sole legal heir of the deceased, there are no other heirs to sign it, no Annexure B is enclosed and none is required.

Minor heirs. The following legal heirs are minors, and their natural guardian is as stated: Ekamjot Singh, son of the late Manjit Singh, born 12 March 2016, aged 9 years, whose natural guardian is his mother Navneet Kaur.. I am aware that, where the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 applies, a natural guardian cannot dispose of a minor's interest in immovable property without the previous permission of the court under section 8 of that Act, that a disposal without such permission is voidable at the instance of the minor, and that section 8 does not extend to a Hindu minor's undivided interest in joint family property, which falls outside that section by force of section 12 and is governed instead by the law relating to the powers of the manager of the joint family. Nothing in the certificate applied for authorises any dealing with the share of a minor.

Heirs claiming through a predeceased child. The following children of the deceased died in the lifetime of the deceased, and the persons named in Schedule I claim through them: Manjit Singh, son, died on 3 June 2023, leaving his widow Navneet Kaur and his minor son Ekamjot Singh, both named in Schedule I..

PURPOSE OF THE CERTIFICATE

(a) The certificate is required for the transfer of a plot, house, booth or flat allotted by a development authority constituted under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, on the intestate death of the allottee.
