Buying property in New Town, Kolkata is a dream for many. But property registration is not just paperwork — it’s a legal safeguard that determines whether your investment is truly secure. A single mistake can cost you ownership rights, money, and years in court battles.
👉 This is why you need a Property Registration Lawyer — to make sure your purchase is legally valid, dispute-free, and future-proof.
📖 Under the Registration Act, 1908, property transactions above ₹100 must be registered.
📌 Registration = official proof of ownership.
📌 Without registration = property has no legal value.
In West Bengal, registration also requires compliance with the Stamp Act & Registration Rules.
🚫 Fake/forged documents from sellers
🚫 Property under litigation or mortgage
🚫 Wrong calculation of stamp duty → penalties
🚫 Poorly drafted Sale Deed favoring seller
🚫 Encroachment & ownership disputes
👉 Solution: Hire a lawyer for due diligence + drafting + registration.
A Property Registration Lawyer provides end-to-end support in:
Checking original ownership documents (deed, khatian, mutation, tax receipts).
Ensuring the property is free from litigation, mortgage, or encumbrance.
Searching records at the Sub-Registrar’s office.
Customizing clauses to protect the buyer’s rights.
Ensuring there is no vague language that may favor the seller.
Including indemnity clauses against future disputes.
Correctly calculating stamp duty and fees under West Bengal Stamp Act.
Filing the necessary documents with the Sub-Registrar.
Ensuring smooth registration before the registering officer.
Obtaining the certified copy of the registered deed.
Advising on mutation and municipal tax transfer post-registration.
✅ Title Verification – checks deeds, khatian, mutation, encumbrances
✅ Drafting Sale Deed – buyer-friendly clauses, indemnity terms
✅ Stamp Duty & Fees – accurate calculation under WB law
✅ Registration Process – smooth execution at Sub-Registrar’s office
✅ Post-registration – mutation, tax transfer, possession
Suraj Lamp & Industries v. State of Haryana (2011) – Only a registered deed transfers ownership.
K.B. Saha & Sons v. Development Consultant Ltd. (2008) – Unregistered documents = no legal proof of ownership.
👉 Moral: Without proper legal registration, you don’t own the property.
Most properties in New Town are leasehold under HIDCO.
⚠️ Risks:
Government permission needed for transfer
Lease restrictions apply
Wrong drafting = cancellation of allotment
👉 Only a lawyer experienced in HIDCO leasehold rules can protect you.
