When you need it

You are having an old house or building pulled down and want the terms with the demolition contractor in writing. The Contract covers the extent of the demolition, who obtains the permission and disconnects the utilities, safety and care of neighbouring buildings, who removes the debris, who owns the salvage, the price and the handing back of the cleared site.

Not the application to the authority for permission to demolish — use the Demolition Permission Application for that. Not for the new building that follows — use the House Construction Contract.

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

Chargeable as an agreement, not a conveyance. PUNJAB: Article 5, Schedule I-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applicable in Punjab, residuary rate under Article 5(c). Confirm the current figure with the Sub-Registrar or against revenue.punjab.gov.in. CHANDIGARH: the equivalent agreement article under the Chandigarh Administration's table at revenue.chd.gov.in; confirm at the Sub-Registrar's office, 30 Bays Building.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 — no interest in immovable property is created.

Notarisation

Not legally required. Notarising is sometimes done to fix the date of signing, which can matter if the start date or timeline is later disputed.

Witnesses

Not legally required, but two witnesses are provided for below, given the value that typically passes under a contract of this kind and how often the facts of what was agreed are disputed once work has started.
