Name miss spelled in agreement should it be re-made


14-May-2023 (In Property Law)
I recently received "Agreement to sell" and "construction agreement" from the developer after paying booking amount. While reviewing the documents i found my name is misspelled. I am the second applicant. Developer told us to manually correct the name and counter sign it. Is it the right thing to do? In future will it create any issue for me if i correct the document in this way. Should i force the buider to recreate those pages where mistakes are present ?

Hi,

If you have not signed these agreement you can tell them to correct and rectify the same. If you want vetting of the agreement to be done, It can be done. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

if the misspelled name gives room an impression that the person named in the agreement is some one else and not you , then you need to go for a new altered agreement with the builder. But if despite the mistake, the address, name of father indicate that it is yourself, then ask the builder to sign on a supplementary agreement prepared by your advocate showing your correct name.

Dear Sir/Madam, if registered those documents, at that time you have entered into rectification deed for the same, if unregistered its OK, in meantime you have to take same copies with counter signed from the builder and you. It will help in future in any discrepancies of those documents.

Sir,
If it was not a registered agreement then you go by manual correction and put signature on the correction portion.

If it was a registered agreement then please execute a rectification deed with regard to your name. It is more better.

Whether the agreement is registered one or yet to be registered. If it is yet to be registered do the correction by drafting the mistake part and sign it. If it is registered then go for rectification deed to do the correction at Sub Registrar office where agreement is registered.
