Govt. Circulars
Registration
made compulsory
By Staff Reporter
Registration
of immovable property is now compulsory. Union Cabinet decision on this is firm. This will
ensure legal transfer or sale of immovable properties, also the area restriction is a
compulsion. Earlier registration could be done at Mumbai, Chennai, Calcutta or Delhi
depending upon which of the places has a lower rate for registration. This resulted is
loss of revenue to the state.
Registration Act, Transfer of Property Act and the Indian Stamp act are also to be
amended. A legislation to this effect is soon to be brought to the next parliament
session.
The Indian Stamp Act is to levy a a certain percentage on stamp duty for contracts. The
registration for property is 1 % or Rs. 10,000/- which ever is higher.
All and all this move by Union Cabinet will definitely curb the illegal / forced
registration in the future.
