Why you need it

When you need it

You've become owner of a house/flat/plot in a Punjab municipal town or Chandigarh — sale, gift, blood-relation transfer, family settlement, release, partition, inheritance, will, court decree, or a development-authority conveyance — and the tax bill still shows the old owner. This asks the Corporation/Council/Nagar Panchayat to amend the assessment. It's also the STATUTORY notice: s.105(1), Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976 requires both transferor and transferee to notify the Commissioner within 3 months of execution/registration (s.105(2): 6 months from a death). Covers every Punjab MC plus Chandigarh's (s.7A, Capital of Punjab Act, 1952); a Council/Nagar Panchayat town instead follows s.74, Punjab Municipal Act, 1911, notice to the committee via the Executive Officer. Miss it: s.105(4) keeps the seller liable, plus a fine to Rs 500 and up to Rs 10/day (Chandigarh charges the Rs 10 — a cut to 10 paise is reportedly pending). Late? Use the 'reason if filing late' field. Doesn't touch the Punjab jamabandi (a separate mutation, Halqa Patwari/CRO); doesn't substitute for a GMADA/GLADA/etc. re-transfer (Estate Officer's file, s.43(7), 1995 Act, own fee); doesn't touch Chandigarh sector property, which has no jamabandi and auto-mutates on Sub-Registrar registration since 2025. A Chandigarh Housing Board flat (~62,000 of them) is a THIRD, separate track (its own file, 8 Jan Marg; Regulation 16 transfer, CHB Regulations 1979 — joint application, 5-year lock-in expired, Board's own dues cleared; 20-25 working days). None of Chandigarh's three tracks (Estate Office, Housing Board, or a jamabandi-keeping revenue village) reaches the Corporation's separate tax record — why penalty notices arrive years later. Don't use this: outside municipal limits (revenue mutation instead); as a substitute for the Estate Office/Housing Board/authority transfer itself (a Chandigarh leasehold needs the NOC and one-third unearned increase FIRST — rule 7(ii), 2007 Rules); or as ownership proof — the deed and the Estate Office/CHB file are title, not a tax bill. A partial-share transfer can use the prayer's alternate wording; a fully split Property ID may need a separate bifurcation application.

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

The application itself is NOT chargeable — no stamp duty, no court-fee stamp, in Punjab or Chandigarh. Duty arises ONLY on the affidavit-cum-indemnity bond many offices want: Article 4 (Affidavit) + Article 34 (Indemnity bond, Article 57's duty), Schedule I-A — both nominal fixed sums, absent from either official table, so buy the smallest denomination the vendor issues and confirm with the vendor or Sub-Registrar (Chandigarh: 30 Bays Building) first. Overpaying is harmless; underpaying gets it impounded (s.33). Buy in the APPLICANT'S name, never the seller's, even via attorney. Buying differs: Punjab has working e-stamping (igrpunjab.gov.in, tehsil vendors); Chandigarh's e-Sampark is bulk-only for banks with a Rs 500 citizen cap online — above that, a vendor to Rs 50,000, then the Central Treasury (challan, SBI Sector 17). The real duty was on the DEED behind this. Punjab sale/gift: 5% + 1% cess + 1% PIDB = 7%, on the higher of consideration/Collector rate; 1% registration (capped Rs 2,00,000); Rs 1,000-5,000 facilitation tiers; Rs 600 mutation + Rs 200 pasting fees. Chandigarh sale/gift/conveyance: 5% on the higher of value/consideration; 1% registration (capped Rs 10,000) + Rs 20 pasting (Administration table, 17 May 2020, still live) — portals wrongly say 6%; confirm at 30 Bays Building. Chandigarh exempts blood-relation transfers from duty (fee still applies). Neither table gives a gender concession.

Registration

Not registrable — a statutory NOTICE, not a transfer instrument, so s.17 doesn't reach it; the office looks instead for the registration endorsement on the DEED behind it. Punjab: Sub-Registrar/Joint SR of the tehsil via NGDRS (igrpunjab.gov.in), e-stamp auto-locked at registration. Chandigarh: Sub-Registrar, 30 Bays Building, Rooms 1&2, Sector 17 — presented noon-1pm, registered 3-5pm; a freehold sale/transfer/gift/exchange deed in triplicate, others duplicate. An inheritance transfer has no registrable instrument — the death certificate and succession proof do the work. Two Chandigarh points: an Estate Office plot/house/SCO auto-mutates since 2025 (SMS, no application); a CHB flat does NOT — a joint Regulation 16 application after the 5-year lock-in and cleared dues. Neither is the Corporation's record, which changes only via THIS filing, while the 1976 Act's daily fine runs. You get a diary/inward number, then an order/endorsement — never a registration number.

Notarisation

The application isn't notarised — just a signed verification. The affidavit-cum-indemnity bond IS sworn where asked — before a Notary or Oath Commissioner, who signs, dates, stamps and registers it. Notarised affidavits are now the NORM both sides of the border: Chandigarh's Estate Office and the Municipal Corporation both accept one in place of an Executive Magistrate's except where specifically required otherwise. An attorney signing for an owner swears the bond IN THAT CAPACITY — the preamble says so, the DEPONENT line reads "[name], attorney of the owner", and the original power of attorney goes to the notary. Leave the bond's place/date blank until the day you swear it. Some offices accept a self-attested declaration instead for low-value residential — ask, in writing.

Witnesses

NONE on the application — a public-office filing, not attested; signature blocks are for the applicant, any joint owner, and (where willing) the transferor, limited to s.105(1)'s notice. The affidavit-cum-indemnity bond is different — where the format has witness lines, two adult witnesses sign with name/address, not parties, heirs or the notary. Don't confuse this with the DEED's rule: Chandigarh deed registration needs two witnesses, the first qualifying under para 127, Punjab Registration Manual, both known to each other and the first to the Sub-Registrar — that's the deed's rule, not this tax filing's. In a succession case, other heirs' NOCs are separate notarised enclosures, not witness signatures.

This application is also the notice of transfer of title required to be given under section 105 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976.

This notice of the transfer is being given after the period allowed for giving it had expired.

I accept liability for the property tax on this property from the date of the transfer, and I undertake to pay whatever arrears are found outstanding on it, together with any interest and penalty lawfully charged.

If any further amount is payable, please inform me and I shall pay it.

WHAT I AM ASKING FOR

I request that this office:

(a) amend the property tax assessment record of Property Tax Assessment No. / Property ID X, which at present stands in the name of X, in the following way — strike out that name and enter my name, together with the name of any joint applicant named in paragraph 1, as the person or persons primarily liable for property tax on the whole of the property, the share transferred to me being the undivided one-half share stated in paragraph 3;

(c) issue me a copy of the order or endorsement by which the change is made, and an extract of the assessment record showing the changed name, so that I have written proof of it; and

(d) record the mobile number and email address given in paragraph 1 against this property for bills, alerts and online payment.

UNDERTAKING

I state and undertake as follows:

(a) The statements made in this application are true to my own knowledge, and the copies enclosed are true copies of the originals in my possession, which I shall produce for inspection whenever called upon to do so.

(b) I understand and accept that the change of name applied for is made only for the purpose of assessment and collection of property tax, that it does not by itself create, confer, declare or extinguish any right, title or interest in the property, and that I shall not plead it as proof of ownership.

(c) If any dispute, claim or proceeding arises out of the change of name made on this application, I shall be responsible for it, and I shall keep this office and its officers indemnified against any loss, cost, claim or demand arising from having acted on this application.

(d) If any statement in this application is later found to be false, the change of name may be cancelled after notice to me, and any tax, interest or penalty due may be recovered from me.

VERIFICATION

Verified at Ludhiana on 4 April 2026 that the contents of this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief, that nothing material has been concealed, and that no part of it is false.

I request you to allow this application.

Yours faithfully,

Does the Property Tax Name Change Application (Namantaran) need stamp paper or stamp duty in Punjab and Chandigarh?

Buying differs: Punjab has working e-stamping (igrpunjab.gov.in, tehsil vendors); Chandigarh's e-Sampark is bulk-only for banks with a Rs 500 citizen cap online — above that, a vendor to Rs 50,000, then the Central Treasury (challan, SBI Sector 17).
