What is registration

Registration is a legal process through which we give effect to a transaction related to a property or flat or land when there is change in ownership. How does the ownership change? It does change either through sale or gift or auction or transfer of property or flat due to any court order or succession. A person might alienate his immovable property for want of money or to gift it to someone out of love and affection.

Whenever there is a change in ownership then that ownership change is reflected in a particular kind of document which can be either a Sale Deed or a Gift Deed or Sale Certificate or Relinquishment Deed or Lease Deed. In case of lease deed the ownership does not get transferred but just the right to use the property.

As and when such kind of legal documents are created, it is pertinent that such documents are authenticated under a seal of a government representative and authority. The legal process of getting these kinds of documents authenticated and ratified by the government appointed Registrars after paying the due stamp duty to the government is called “Registration”.

Registration of the above-mentioned documents or any other document which needs to be registered is regulated by the Registration Act, 1908 which prescribes the rules and mechanism for effecting registration.
