Sale Deed & Purchase Deed Registration – An Overview
A Sale Deed (or Purchase Deed) is the core legal document that transfers ownership of property from the seller to the buyer. It establishes clear ownership rights and protects both parties in property transactions. In India, registration of the sale deed is mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908 to make the transfer legally valid. A registered sale deed is proof of ownership and is essential for future resale, mutation, and loans.
