Overview of Property Registration
Property registration in India is mandatory when purchasing land or property valued above ₹100. It transfers ownership from seller to buyer and records the transaction with the Sub‑registrar’s office, safeguarding both parties’ interests.
Mandatory Registration and Governing Laws
Under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, immovable properties above ₹100 must be registered. Stamp duty under the Indian Stamp Act, 1889 is payable by the buyer based on market value; rates vary by state.
