Registration

After finalizing the sale deed, the next steps are to pay the stamp duty, obtain the receipt, and schedule an appointment at the Sub-Registrar's office for the sale deed registration.

For the registration, the buyer, seller, or their power of attorney holders, along with two witnesses, must be present at the Registrar's office with all necessary documents. Once the registration is recorded, the receipt of property registration can be obtained.
