Parent Deed Mandatory for Document Registration

The Registration Department recently announced that the parent deed or original deed (mother deed) is mandatory for the registration of documents related to properties such as houses and plots.

For the registration of documents related to properties such as houses and plots, the relevant land, plot, or house's prior documents (parent deed or original deed) are essential, as recently announced by the Registration Department. Additionally, these original deeds must be verified and certified by the sub-registrar before new documents can be registered.

Bank Certificates Also Important

If the original deeds for a property are lost, certificates issued by the police must be verified. Furthermore, if financial transactions such as bank loans or mortgages have been taken out on the properties in question, the certificates issued by the bank must also be verified, according to the Registration Department.

Partitioned Properties

Generally, after partitioning the property among four members of a family, only one person will have the parent deed. In the future, if those without the parent deed wish to sell their land or house, the person holding the parent deed might not provide it for various reasons.

Return of Verified Documents

Moreover, in urban areas, many multi-story apartment buildings have only one parent deed. In such cases, an exemption from providing the original parent deed for document registration is granted. However, for all other property registrations, the parent deed or original document is mandatory.

If the parent deed is submitted for verification at the registration office, it will be noted and signed as verified before being returned to the concerned parties. It is worth noting that verifying original deeds before registering documents has been a standard procedure.
