The process for transfer of property ownership in India involves the following steps: Sale agreement: The first step is to prepare a sale agreement between the buyer and seller, which should include details such as the property description, sale price, payment terms, possession date, and other relevant clauses. Payment of stamp duty: The buyer has to pay the stamp duty and registration charges as per the prevailing rates in the state where the property is located. This can be done either online or by visiting the sub-registrar's office. Registration of sale deed: The sale deed has to be registered with the sub-registrar of the area where the property is located. Both the buyer and seller have to be present along with two witnesses for the registration process. The registration fee is calculated based on the property value and is usually a percentage of the sale price. Issuance of new ownership documents: Once the sale deed is registered, the buyer should obtain new ownership documents such as the sale deed, property tax receipt, and Khata certificate, in their name. These documents are important for future transactions such as reselling or obtaining a loan on the property. Updating records: The buyer should update the records with the local municipal corporation, electricity board, water supply, and other utility providers, to ensure that the bills and other correspondence are sent to the new owner's address. It is important to ensure that all legal requirements are fulfilled and that the ownership transfer is done in a transparent and legal manner to avoid any future disputes.
