Property documents list

If you are looking to sell or buy a property, then get ready for major paperwork as the process involves providing (to authorities and the bank if you’re taking a housing loan) and getting various documents (these act as proof of ownership of property). Let me tell you what are the ownership proof documents: Sale Deed It’s major evidence of the sale and transfer of property ownership from the seller to the buyer. It also acts as proof of acceptance of the sale agreement, by the buyer. It is arguably the most important legal ownership document. RTC Extracts Issued by the Village Accountant, this document contains details of the extent of land in a non-survey or survey number, names of the buyer and the seller, their respective holdings, and tenants’ names. It helps establish the title of land whether the property is situated on non-agricultural land, which used to be agricultural earlier. Khata Certificate and Extracts Basically, it’s an entry in the records of the local municipal committee and confirms that the building has been constructed as per the approved plan. It’s necessary for the registration of new property and property transfer. Mutation Register Extracts Just like RTC extracts, it’s used to establish a title if the building is constructed on converted land. Payment Receipts The original payment receipt should be collected from the builder as payment proof. Encumbrance Certificate In the case of resale, this certificate informs the new buyer of every transaction that has occurred since the purchase of the property from the first seller. It confirms that the title of the property is still with the current seller. No Due Certificate A no-due certificate from the Apartments Owners Association is needed to make sure that the owner has cleared each and every due. Completion Certificate It’s required to show whether the building complies with the rules relating to permissible distance from the road, building heights, etc. It makes sure that the building is constructed as per the approved plan. Occupancy Certificate It’s issued when the construction is completed as per the sanctioned plan and is ready for occupancy.

What are the land ownership documents in India?

In India, a registered sale deed, which serves as a record of the buyer and seller's property transaction, is the main document used to establish land ownership. 

• The register of rights (a document that contains information about the property)
• Property tax receipts
• Survey documents,

are additional proofs of ownership.  These documents, however, simply serve as a record of the transfer of property rather than providing a government-guaranteed title to the land.  The buyer in such deals is responsible for researching a property's prior owners.  As a result, the sale deeds' determination of land title in India is presumed and open to dispute.

Earlier I used to snap at lengthy documentation processes in India for any real estate transaction. But now I feel glad because of the increased amount of fraud. Property documentation provides an extra level of security and protection. One such document is a house ownership document.

Make sure what each document means what they say before you sign any document. Let me tell you which documents come under the ownership of property documents.
