Property-related documents are very important so acquiring them on time is very crucial. My husband bought a property last year but due to COVID, he thought of registering it a bit late. When my father-in-law came to visit us recently, he asked whether the property has been registered or not and my husband casually said no. My father-in-law got quite furious so I asked him-
Is land registry proof of ownership in India? What will happen if we don’t do it? He looked at me and said you will simply lose it. Both of us realised that we had been taking things very casually. Let me share why registering a property is important.
What is property registration?Property registration is a process by which a buyer registers the property in his/her name to prove his/her ownership over the property. Suppose you have bought a property but haven’t done its registration, in government records the property still belongs to the former owner. Now if there is a dispute over it, the government will sit with the former owner and not you as according to their records the property still belongs to the person who sold you the property. So once you buy a property you must get it registered in your name.
