Property bought in 1982 but not registered how to register it


09-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, My mother bought a property sometime in the year 1982 (agreement for sale was for that year). She now intends to gift the flat to me,however, while going thru the paperwork we were unable to find a valid stamped and registered agreement. We however have all paperwork regarding the payments made per slab etc. So my question is, how can we get an old property such as this stamped and registered and what would be the cost for the same. Would it be at present market value or the purchase price at that point in time. Appreciate your prompt replies. Regards, VB

As you had not paid the require stamp duty and registration charges in 1982 you need to pay it now along with penalty to the government. The valuation of property will be done as per current Market rate.
