Certified copy of sale deed instead of original


07-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
I am buying a property. Current seller is the second owner. Current seller does not have original sale deed that was executed between builder and 1st owner. Instead they are providing certified copy of the first deed. In this case what are the risks for me as a buyer and can I do this transaction

NO, a property cannot be registered if original sale deed is not with the owner, but a copy of the deed acquired from the registrar is available and name of the owner is displayed in the Encumbrance certificate.
