Why you need it

When you need it

Co-owners agreed how to divide family property, but measurements, permissions or the final registered partition deed are pending. Drafted as a contract for a LATER operative partition, not one creating title now — under s.17, presently creating rights makes it compulsorily registrable. State proposed allotments, equalisation, conditions precedent, target date. Word it as an immediate partition and Article 45 plus registration apply instead.

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

S.2(15) defines an 'instrument of partition' to include co-owners dividing OR AGREEING to divide — Article 45 duty applies even though division follows. Punjab: no published rate — get it assessed by the Tehsildar. Duty falls only on the smaller shares separated (Stamp Manual note 84). Chandigarh: 2% (consideration or collector rate, higher). Stamp before or at signing (s.17); unstamped is inadmissible until penalty is paid (s.35).

Registration

Not registrable as drafted; operative wording triggers s.17(1)(b).

Notarisation

Not required.

Witnesses

All co-owners sign; no witness rule identified.
