Sworn and filed at the office of the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Sector 17, together with the deed presented for registration, so that mutation of the property in the record of the Estate Officer, UT Chandigarh is triggered automatically under the Estate Office Standard Operating Procedure for Implementation of Auto-Mutation of Property based on Registered Property Deeds, read with the separate freehold and leasehold auto-mutation checklists dated 10 July 2025.
Place: Chandigarh
Date: 8 April 2026
Stamp paper: Non-judicial stamp paper of the value quoted at the counter, serial No. CH/AB 442190, purchased on 12 September 2026 from an authorised vendor at Sector 17, Chandigarh
File this at the counter, not afterwards. Since 2025 there is no separate mutation application in Chandigarh. On registration the deed and its data pass digitally from the Sub-Registrar to the Estate Office Property Management System, the Branch Clerk begins preliminary scrutiny within two hours for a leasehold case carrying a valid no-objection certificate and within four hours for a freehold case, and an SMS goes to the transferee. If this affidavit is not in the file when the deed is presented, there is no later mutation window in which to put it there.
Two entries decide whether this is the right paper at all. Clause 3.3 records the register in which this property stands. Clause 6.2 records its tenure. If Clause 3.3 records a village, lal dora or phirni property of the Union Territory, stop: mutation there runs through the revenue track on a fard and a report of the Naib Tehsildar, nothing of this kind is lodged with the Sub-Registrar for it, and this affidavit is the wrong instrument. If Clause 6.2 records leasehold tenure, the lease particulars, the ground rent position, the Estate Office no-objection certificate and the one-third unearned increase under Clause 6 must all be completed before the affidavit is sworn.
1.1 I, Harpreet Singh Bedi, son / daughter / wife of Late Sardar Gurcharan Singh Bedi, aged 47 years, resident of House No. 2145, Sector 44-C, Chandigarh 160047, holding Permanent Account Number BQXPS4471J and contactable on mobile number +91 XXXXX XXXXX, do solemnly affirm and declare as follows.
- Last four digits of my Aadhaar number: 7742 — given so that the Estate Office can match this affidavit to the identity captured at the registration counter.

Second Transferee joining in this affidavit
And I, Jasleen Kaur Bedi, son / daughter / wife of Shri Amarjit Singh Sethi, aged 41 years, resident of House No. 2145, Sector 44-C, Chandigarh 160047, holding Permanent Account Number CJKPK8830M and contactable on mobile number +91 XXXXX XXXXX, having appeared in person before the attesting officer whose endorsement appears at the foot of this affidavit, do also solemnly affirm and declare that I join in this affidavit-cum-indemnity bond and adopt every statement in it as my own.
1.2 In this affidavit-cum-indemnity bond, "I", "me", "my" and "the Transferee" mean the person named in Clause 1.1 and, where a second person joins above, both of them together and each of them separately. Our obligations, and in particular the indemnity in Clause 12, bind us jointly and severally, so that the Estate Officer may recover the whole of any amount from any one of us and leave us to settle the shares between ourselves.
1.3 Every statement below is made from my own knowledge, except where it is stated to be made on information and belief, in which case I say that I believe it to be true.
1.4 The shares in which the Property has been taken are: Harpreet Singh Bedi as to two-thirds and Jasleen Kaur Bedi as to one-third. I ask that the mutation record those shares.
2.1 I have acquired the Property described in Clause 3 from Om Parkash Gupta, son / daughter / wife of Late Shri Banarsi Dass Gupta, resident of House No. 118, Sector 8-A, Chandigarh 160009 ("the Transferor").
2.2 The Transferor is the person shown as the allottee, lessee or owner of record in the Estate Office file for the Property, or is the person entitled to be so shown, and no other person appears on that file as a co-owner whose interest has not passed to me under the Deed.
2.3 The Property has also been conveyed to me by Kamla Gupta, resident of House No. 118, Sector 8-A, Chandigarh 160009, who holds jointly with the Transferor and has executed the Deed as a transferor. In this affidavit "the Transferor" includes that person.
3.1 The property this affidavit concerns ("the Property") is:
| Particular | Entry |
|---|---|
| Property number | House No. 1206 |
| Sector or locality | Sector 21-B, Chandigarh |
| Category | Residential plot or site |
| Area of the site | 500 square yards (418.06 square metres), being 10 marla |
| Estate Office property identification or file number | EO/RES/21B/1206 — Property ID 2100120600 |
Covered area of the building standing on the site: 2,860 square feet across ground and first floors.
3.2 The Property is bounded as follows:
North: House No. 1205. South: House No. 1207. East: Road 20 feet wide. West: Rear service lane.
3.3 As to the register in which the Property stands, I say that the Property is an Estate Office site in the sectoral, urban area of the Union Territory of Chandigarh, sold or leased by Government under section 3 of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952; no jamabandi or revenue record of rights is maintained for it and no fard is issued in respect of it; and the allotment file held by the Estate Officer, UT Chandigarh at the Town Hall Building, Sector 17-C is the record of title. The Property is governed by the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and the rules made under it so far as they apply to it.
Note to the reader, forming no part of the sworn text. This affidavit is drawn for an Estate Office site in the sectors of Chandigarh. If the entry at Clause 3.3 is the village, lal dora or phirni entry, do not present this affidavit: the mutation there is made in the revenue record on a fard and a report of the Naib Tehsildar, and the Estate Office auto-mutation route described below has nothing to work on.
4.1 By Sale Deed dated 6 April 2026, executed by the Transferor in my favour for a consideration of Rs 3,45,00,000 ("the Deed"), the Property has been transferred to me. The Deed is being presented for registration before the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh, 30 Bays Building, Ground Floor, Sector 17, and this affidavit-cum-indemnity bond is filed with it.
4.2 The consideration recited in the Deed is the whole of what has passed and is to pass between the Transferor and me. Nothing has been paid, or agreed to be paid, outside the Deed. The value on which stamp duty has been assessed is not lower than the collector rate notified for the Property by the Deputy Commissioner-cum-District Collector, UT Chandigarh and in force on the date of the Deed.
4.3 The Deed has been executed on properly stamped paper and the registration fee has been tendered. I am aware that under section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 an instrument that is not duly stamped cannot be received in evidence or acted upon, and that the registering officer may refer an instrument that appears to be undervalued to the Collector, who may demand the deficient duty with penalty and interest long after the transaction is closed.
4.4 Registration particulars of the Deed: Document No. 9124, Book No. 1, Volume 447, registered on 14 September 2026 at the office of the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh.
5.1 The Transferor's title, as it stands on the Estate Office file, arises as follows:
Allotted by the Estate Officer, UT Chandigarh vide Allotment Letter No. 4471/EO/RES dated 12 March 1981 to Shri Banarsi Dass Gupta on a leasehold basis; converted to freehold tenure vide Conveyance Deed dated 09 August 2004, registered at the office of the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh as Document No. 5512 in Book No. 1; devolved on the Transferor as the sole surviving legal heir on the death of the allottee on 27 June 2011, and mutated in his name on 03 February 2012.
5.2 I have inspected, or have caused to be inspected on my behalf, the Estate Office record of the Property, including the Know Your Property and Know Your Dues entries and the User Account Statement available at estateoffice.chd.gov.in, and I have satisfied myself about the entries appearing there.
5.3 I am aware of section 3(3) of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, under which a site or building continues to belong to the Central Government, notwithstanding anything in any other law, until the entire consideration money together with interest and every other amount due in respect of it has been paid. So far as the Estate Office record discloses, the whole of the premium and every other amount due on the Property has been paid, and the Transferor was therefore competent to transfer it.
6.1 I take the Property subject to every condition of the allotment, auction, lease or conveyance under which it is held, and subject to the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 so far as they apply to it. I am aware that Rule 1(ii) of those Rules applies them to allotments and auctions made after 7 November 2007, that the Chandigarh (Sale of Sites and Buildings) Rules, 1960 and the Chandigarh Leasehold of Sites and Buildings Rules, 1973 were repealed by Rule 20(i) with everything done under them saved by Rule 20(ii), and that where the Property was allotted before 7 November 2007 the conditions of the original allotment continue to bind me.
6.2 As to the tenure of the Property, I say that the Property is held on freehold tenure, no lease of it subsists, and no ground rent, lease renewal, lease covenant or unearned increase arises in respect of it.
6.3 Where the entry at Clause 6.2 records leasehold tenure, the entries appearing under the headings that follow form part of this affidavit and must be completed before it is sworn. An affidavit which records leasehold tenure and leaves those entries blank is incomplete on its face, states no lease, no ground rent position, no no-objection certificate and no unearned increase, and is not an affidavit on which the Branch Clerk can complete the two-hour preliminary scrutiny of a leasehold case.
Leasehold tenure of the Property
The lease of the Property was executed on 1 April 2026. I am aware that under Rule 11 of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 a lease runs for 33 years from the date of execution of the lease deed and is renewable for two further periods of 33 years each, making 99 years in all, subject to continued compliance; that under Rule 12 annual ground rent is 2.5% of the premium for the first 33 years, 3.75% for the next 33 years and 5% for the remaining 33 years, payable without any demand from the Estate Officer on the tenth day of the month following the month in which it falls due; that late payment attracts a penalty of up to 100% of the amount due; and that arrears are recoverable as arrears of land revenue under section 8 of the Act. I undertake to pay the ground rent falling due from the date of the Deed onwards, without demand.
I am also aware that under Rule 7(i) no site or building allotted on concessional rates or on a leasehold basis may be transferred before the expiry of 15 years from the date of allotment, and I say that this period had expired before the Deed was executed.
Ground rent on the Property stands paid up to 2 April 2026, and I accept liability for the ground rent falling due after that date.
No-objection certificate for this transfer
The no-objection certificate issued by the Estate Office permitting this transfer bears the number EO/LH/2026/1147 and is dated 3 April 2026. It was obtained before the Deed was executed, it is valid and subsisting on the date of this affidavit, it has not been withdrawn, cancelled or superseded, and every condition attached to it has been complied with.
