What should I carry on sale deed registration day?

Carry the final printed deed, your original Aadhaar, PAN, passport or OCI documents where applicable, copies if requested, appointment or fee details, and the witness or witnesses required by your deed and local Sub-Registrar Office.

How early should I reach the Sub-Registrar Office?

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled registration slot. This gives you time to find the counter, coordinate with the witness, and resolve simple document or queue issues before biometrics.

What should I check before signing the sale deed?

Check every page for party names, spelling, addresses, Aadhaar or PAN details, the total sale amount, the property schedule, measurements, identifiers, and the e-Khata number where applicable. Confirm that the printed version matches the records.

Is a witness required for property registration?

Witness requirements vary by deed type, state, and Sub-Registrar Office. Identify and bring the witness or witnesses requested for your appointment, with the required identity documents, and confirm the final count in advance.

What should I confirm after biometrics?

Before leaving, confirm with the office that the document has been signed, sealed, and scanned. Sign the registrar book or form when asked, collect the document, and check the returned copy once more.

What if we spot a spelling mistake on the printed deed at the Sub-Registrar Office?

Minor clerical errors can sometimes be hand-corrected and initialed by both parties and the Sub-Registrar before scanning, but major schedule or name errors require re-printing or a subsequent Rectification Deed.

What happens if the Kaveri / SRO server is down during our slot?

Token numbers are usually honored in queue once servers resume. Documents submitted before office closing are processed with same-day timestamp priority.

Can cash be paid as part of property consideration at the SRO?

Under Section 269SS/269T of the Income Tax Act, cash payments exceeding ₹20,000 for immovable property are prohibited and attract 100% penalty. All consideration must be through banking channels (DD, RTGS, NEFT, Cheque).

Can a family member act as a witness for registration?

Yes, any major (18+) with sound mind and valid government photo ID can witness, provided they can identify the signing parties.

Is this an official government checklist?

No. This is a practical PE Realtors preparation checklist. Registration requirements can vary by state, deed type, and office, so confirm the final instructions with your document writer, legal professional, or Sub-Registrar Office.
