❓ Frequently asked questions

Is a Sale Deed mandatory in India?

Yes — under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, any transfer of immovable property worth ₹100 or more must be by a registered Sale Deed. Without registration the buyer does not get legal title.

How long does it take to register a Sale Deed?

Same day in most Sub-Registrar offices, provided stamp duty and registration fees are paid and both parties (or their authorised attorneys) are present with valid ID proof.

Can I draft my own Sale Deed without a lawyer?

Yes. The Sale Deed format is standardised by each state Sub-Registrar. Kaagazaat generates the exact format your state accepts; a lawyer review is recommended for transactions above ₹50 lakh.

What is the difference between Agreement to Sell and Sale Deed?

Agreement to Sell is a promise to transfer property in the future (commonly with a token payment). Sale Deed is the actual transfer document, registered at the Sub-Registrar.

Do I need witnesses to register a Sale Deed?

Yes — at least two witnesses must sign the Sale Deed in the presence of the Sub-Registrar. Witnesses should carry Aadhaar and PAN for ID verification.
