Partition deed on white paper is not valid. Partition deed is the the sharing of proprty between family members and there is transfer of property between the family members. Any immoveable property whose value is more than Rs.100 has to be registered. Un registered partition deed is not admissible in evidence.

A partition deed needs to be registered at the sub-registrar in the area where the immovable property is located. Section 17 of Indian Registration Act, 1908 makes this mandatory.
