Rectification Deed

Errors are common, but making mistakes in deeds can cause future problems. Therefore, anyone writing deeds should do so with great care.

Rectification Deed

If there are errors in a deed, there are simple ways to correct them. Let's look at a few. Errors in deeds are referred to as rectifications.

There are two types of rectification deeds: one for minor errors and another for title and deed corrections. Rectification deeds for minor errors include corrections in directions, boundaries, names, initials, addresses, FMB (Field Measurement Book), and other such details.

The seller of the plot or land must rectify these errors. There is no need to pay stamp duty or registration fees for these corrections. If there are any other corrections, both the seller and the buyer must sign the rectification deed. If you realize a mistake while writing, do not scratch out or erase anything. For errors in survey numbers or land measurements, a new sale deed must be executed.

Changing a survey number can point to a different plot or land in another area. If the seller does not come for the rectification, you must approach the court to resolve the issue.
