If the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has passed a Provisional Attachment Order (PAO) over the master/title document, the property is legally under attachment. Merely holding child documents or copies does not give you any right to sell the property. Key Legal Points: Once ED attachment is in force under PMLA, sale, transfer, mortgage, or creation of third-party rights is strictly prohibited. Any attempted sale during attachment is void in law and can expose you and the buyer to serious criminal consequences. Registration authorities will not permit registration even if physical documents are available. What Can Be Done: 1. Challenge the PAO before the Adjudicating Authority under PMLA within the prescribed time. 2. If attachment is confirmed, seek relief/setting aside through proper legal proceedings by establishing that the property is not “proceeds of crime”. 3. Only after attachment is lifted or stayed by a competent authority can the property be lawfully sold. Bottom Line: You cannot sell the property while ED attachment subsists. Immediate legal action is required to protect your rights and explore release of attachment.
