Sometimes, errors occur during property registration, whether it’s for a house, flat, or vacant land. These mistakes may get recorded in the official documents at the time of purchase.
However, many people are unaware that such errors can be corrected even after registration. The Registration Department provides an option to rectify these mistakes through an official rectification process.
When purchasing a house, flat, or vacant land, errors sometimes occur in the documents. Additionally, details recorded by officials during registration may also be incorrect. However, many people are unaware of how to correct these mistakes.
The Registration Department provides a rectification process to amend such errors. For example, common mistakes include misspellings of buyer or seller names, incorrect property boundaries, numerical errors in area measurements, or wrong locality names.
Even though these may seem like minor mistakes, they can sometimes lead to major issues.
Errors in property documents can cause problems when applying for bank loans or when trying to resell the property. Additionally, such mistakes can lead to legal complications during property distribution. Many people are unsure about how to deal with these issues.
However, the Registration Department provides a solution—Rectification. Through this process, the government allows corrections to errors made during registration.
Rectification involves making amendments to previously registered agreements such as Sale Deeds, Gift Deeds, and Partition Deeds, ensuring that the corrected details are legally recorded.
For rectification, both the buyer and seller must be present, just like in a regular property registration. The original documents of the house, flat, or vacant land are required to create a new set of corrected documents. To proceed, a slot must be booked at least one day in advance, and a fee of ₹2,500 must be paid either online or through challan. On the scheduled date, the buyer and seller must visit the Sub-Registrar’s office, where the rectified document will be registered and assigned a serial number.
If there are only one or two minor errors, the rectification process is simple. However, if multiple corrections are needed, the full registration charges set by the department may have to be paid. In some cases, the original registration fee might need to be paid again for rectification. This process applies to all types of documents, including Sale Deeds, Gift Deeds, and Partition Deeds. Authorities also emphasize that the rectified document is legally valid only when attached to the original document issued during the initial registration.
