When you need it

Your own covering application to the Maintenance Tribunal, for a senior citizen who gave or transferred property on the condition that the receiver would look after them, and who is now neglected. It asks the Tribunal to declare the transfer void under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

It is written by you and is not an official form. Whether it works depends on the facts: that you were a senior citizen when you transferred, that care was a condition of the transfer, and that it was then refused or not given. Bring the deed and proof of the neglect. An order from the Tribunal is not the end: the records at the Sub-Registrar and the revenue or Estate Office still have to be corrected on the strength of it. Not for money support: use the Senior Citizens Tribunal Maintenance 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

No stamp paper is needed for the application itself. If the office asks for a court fee stamp or an affidavit with it, follow what the office says; the current requirement is a VERIFY point.

Registration

Not registrable and not meant to be.

Notarisation

Not required for the application. If the office asks for a sworn affidavit with it, swear it before a notary or oath commissioner.

Witnesses

No witnesses are needed. You sign the application and the verification.
