When registering a property in India, including Bangalore, you need to carry a set of essential documents to the sub-registrar's office for the registration process. Here are the key documents you should have with you:
Sale Deed: The original sale deed, duly signed by both the buyer and seller, is the most crucial document for property registration. Ensure that it is executed on non-judicial stamp paper of the appropriate value.
Khata Certificate: This certificate establishes the ownership of the property and is required for property tax purposes. You should have both the seller's and buyer's Khata certificates.
Encumbrance Certificate: This document provides details of all transactions related to the property, such as transfers, mortgages, and leases. It ensures that the property is free from any legal disputes or pending dues.
Property Tax Receipts: Bring the latest property tax payment receipts to confirm that all property taxes are up to date.
Identity Proof of Buyer and Seller: Carry valid identity proofs such as Aadhar card, passport, voter ID, or driver's license for both the buyer and seller.
Passport-size Photographs: Carry passport-sized photographs of both the buyer and seller. These may be required for affixing on the property registration documents.
PAN Card: The Permanent Account Number (PAN) card is required for financial transactions related to property registration.
Address Proof: Provide address proof documents, such as a recent utility bill, bank statement, or Aadhar card, for both the buyer and seller.
No Objection Certificate (NOC): If applicable, obtain NOCs from relevant authorities, such as the Pollution Control Board, Airport Authority, or other concerned departments.
Occupancy Certificate: For newly constructed properties, bring the occupancy certificate issued by the local municipal authority.
Aadhar Card of Two Witnesses: Two witnesses are required for property registration, and they should provide their Aadhar cards as identity proof.
Stamp Duty and Registration Fees: Carry the necessary funds to pay for the stamp duty and registration fees. These fees vary based on the property's value and location.
Previous Deed(s): If the property has changed hands multiple times, you may need to carry the previous sale deeds to establish a clear ownership history.
Agreement to Sell: If you have an agreement to sell with the seller, bring a copy of this agreement, as it may be required during the registration process.
Builder's Completion Certificate: If you are registering a property from a builder, ensure you have the builder's completion certificate.
Power of Attorney (if applicable): If you are registering the property through a Power of Attorney holder, bring the relevant Power of Attorney documents.
Any Other Specific Documents: Depending on the specific circumstances of the property and the local regulations, there may be additional documents required. It's advisable to check with the sub-registrar's office in advance.
Make sure to carry both original and photocopies of these documents, as the authorities will typically retain the photocopies and return the originals after verification. Additionally, consult with a legal expert or a property consultant to ensure you have all the necessary documents in order before the registration process.
