Site dimension in current owners sale deed Site dimension in current owners sale deed

2 months ago

In the current owners sale deed, in Schedule-B section, the total site measurement is shown as 30X40 (1200) square feet. Is a rectification deed necessary to describe it as East to West 30 ft and North to South 40 ft totally measuring 1200 sq ft. Or can we go ahead with registration and mention details in new sale deed?

A.Dear Client,
In a Schedule of Land which is an essential part of a deed of conveyance showing the demarcation of a property means physically dividing the property into metes and bounds (i.e. area and boundaries of each property will be made). For example, a land of 1 acre may be divided into 4 parts and each part will have a definite area and definite boundaries. Only the recorded owners of the property can apply for demarcation to the Tehshildar/Land Revenue Officer or it can be done on orders from a Court of law. The demarcation is almost purely a technical operation, carried out jointly by the surveyors, acting as boundary engineers, of both parties. The result is a record of great importance in avoiding future disputes. If the neighbor applies for demarcation of land and until and unless the land or property is demarcated following the standing procedure, if the land or property is sold by the adjacent neighbor, it may be a cause of dispute in the future. and the parties may face legal consequences. So, a deed of rectification which, is also referred to as a deed of confirmation, correction deed, confirmation deed, supplementary deed, amendment deed, etc. required to rectify the error in the Schedule of land of the original deed with the prior permission of the Registrar. Both parties to the contract(Seller & Buyer) must consent to the revisions requested and attend at the sub-registrar's office for the registration rectification deed. A rectification deed is recognized under Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and is a perfectly legal way to correct errors in a legal document.

A.Dear client,

A sale deed is a document which is a document that allows a party to sell property he/she owns.With the use of a rectification deed, you can legally amend any legal document to remove any inaccuracies or faults. Errors in conveyance deeds pertaining to real estate transactions are sometimes fixed with a rectification deed. Rectification deeds are an entirely legitimate means of correcting errors in legal documents and are recognised by Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908. For the deed to be enforceable, it needs to be registered. You will be asked to pay Rs.100 to make the changes. Please note that it is always better to have the proper measurements in the sale deed to avoid any further discrepancies.

Thank you
