Procedure

Phase I: Prior To Registration Of The Document

This phase does not form a part of the Registration Department procedure, but has to be initiated by the executor to enable him to present the document for the registration. This involves the following:

Purchase of Stamp paper: The value of the property is determined. Stamp duty, transfer duty, registration fee and other fees are calculated.
Document writing: Preparation of the legal registration document by document writers.
Arranging for the supporting Documents and Certificates needed for the registration (depends on the type of registration). The Registration Officer has to be convinced about the genuineness of the transaction, for which he requires the following substantiation/ supporting:
Witnesses, identifier and the photographer (to determine the authenticity of the parties involved).
Supporting documents on the rights of the parties (for example, in case of sale of rural land, a nakal Jamabandi which is the Record of Rights, a Krishak Pramanpatra, etc. are required).
Supporting documents to establish the value of the transaction (for example, in case of sale of rural land, which is the average transaction value of the land in the last year, is provided by the Patwari).
Phase II: During Registration Of The Document

The steps in any generic registration process are as follows:

These documents are presented to the Sub-Registrar of the jurisdiction. The Sub-Registrar scrutinises the documents, determines the classification of the document, and reviews the valuation of the property, calculation of stamp duty, transfer duty, registration fees and miscellaneous fees.

If any deficit stamp duty needs to be paid, the executor is informed and is asked to do the same.
The citizen certifies the final document before the Sub-Registrar and two witnesses.
The document is copied into the register books.
Copies are posted to 2 indexes (by name and property), and accounts and reports.
The document is returned to the citizen
However from the Registration Department's point of view, the steps for the registration, technically, can be divided into:

Presentation
Receipt
Admission & Identification
Registration

Phase III: Post Registration Of The Document

After the registration process is complete, the rural land sale information is passed on to the Patwari for adding the entries in the Jamabandi register, which is the Record of Rights. The changes in the Jamabandi register are carried out as per the procedures laid down. After registration of the document, a copy of it is maintained in the office as record.

Refusal to Register the Deed

In case the person executing the deed gives his denial or if the person executing the deed is a minor, an idiot or a lunatic, then the registering officer can refuse to register the deed. He will record the reasons for refusal in Book No.2.

Verification Procedure

The original record is with the Patwari/ office Kanungo. The extracts of land records are issued only after verification from the original record.
