Sale Deed / Dastavej Registration
Property sale deed drafting, verification and registration at the Sola Sub-Registrar Office.
Fees are quoted after understanding your specific requirement. Stamp duty and registration fee are separate government charges, calculated on the property value and paid directly to the government.
What this covers
Preparation and verification of the sale deed (dastavej), coordination of the registration appointment, and physical presence at the Sola Sub-Registrar Office for execution. Our Gota office is located immediately adjacent to the Sola Sub-Registrar Office, which keeps the registration process straightforward for local clients.
The registration process
Once the deed is drafted and verified, an appointment is booked at the Sub-Registrar Office. Both parties (seller and buyer) must be present with witnesses. Documents are verified, biometrics and photographs are captured, stamp duty and registration fees are confirmed, and the deed is registered and returned after processing.
Documents typically required
- Identity and address proof of buyer, seller and witnesses (Aadhaar, PAN)
- Existing title documents / prior deed
- Index-II and property card / 7-12 extract where applicable
- Latest property tax receipt
- Approved plan / NA order where applicable
- Passport-size photographs of parties and witnesses
Common questions

Generally yes, both parties (or their authorised power-of-attorney holder) along with witnesses need to be present at the Sub-Registrar office for biometric verification and execution.
Rejections usually come down to document mismatches, missing prior-title links, or incorrect valuation. Because the causes are specific to each property's document chain, we review the title documents before the registration appointment to catch issues in advance rather than at the counter.
The registration appointment itself is usually completed in a single visit once documents are in order, though preparing and verifying the deed beforehand can take longer depending on the property's document history.
A sale agreement is a preliminary contract setting out the terms both parties agree to before the transaction completes. The sale deed is the actual registered document that transfers ownership. Many transactions involve both, in that order.
Yes, this is a common situation, typically handled through a properly executed and apostilled Power of Attorney authorising someone in India to complete the sale on the NRI's behalf.
