Key Questions Answered
Original ID proofs such as an Aadhaar card, Voter ID, or Passport are strictly required for both the buyer and seller at the registrar's office, and even a slight mismatch in name, photo, or address will result in the cancellation of the registration. Additionally, the government has made PAN cards mandatory to curb black money and prevent benami properties.
The system verifies whether the seller's name exists in government records, requiring an RTC for land, or Khata and tax receipts for sites. If there is an active court case on the property or if it is government land, the computer will automatically reject the registration.
Buyers must present a receipt proving the full payment of the stamp duty, as showing lower property values to save on duties is no longer permitted. Furthermore, if the property is located in a special zone such as under a municipal limit or development authority, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) must be provided.
