What is Sale Deed Number? 

After registration is completed, stamp duty and registration charges are paid. The payment slip mentions the number and on each page of the sale deed, there is a stamp by a government official. On the top right corner of every page, you can find your sale deed number.

How To Find the Sale Deed Number?

A property sale deed is necessary since it is a legal document drawn on non-judicial stamp paper according to the state's stamp duty value. This document serves as proof of a property sale or purchase between two parties in front of two adult witnesses. A description of the property is included in a sale deed.

The sale deed of land also includes-

  • Details of the buyer and seller
  • The size of the property, the building features, the specific address, and the surrounding area are all important factors to consider.
  • The whole amount of the sale, including the amount paid in advance and the method of payment.
  • Delivery date - Possession of property
  • The clause of indemnity

The sale deed number is generally written in the following format:

  • Document Number / Year / Sub Registrar Office initials
  • For instance: 535/2021/HVL1
  • Here, HVL1 is HAVELI sub-registrar number 1.

In India, a property transaction without an original sale deed sample is illegal, so make sure you have one recorded and registered when you buy the property. If you want to check the sale deed number, take a close look at your paperwork, and use the previous example to locate it.

Registration of a Sale Deed

The property papers are to be kept with the Sub-Registrar to confirm the deal is being closed. The registration includes the following: - 

  • Value of the property
  • Stamp duty assessed as per the market rate and actual price is to be considered
  • Value of non-judicial stamp paper
  • Deed to be executed on stamp paper
  • Both the parties should execute the document in the presence of two witnesses
  • Finally, it should be registered with the Sub-Registrar

  • Keep a copy of both the complaint and clipping and wait for 2 to 4 weeks to see if your property papers turn up, or else, get an affidavit prepared on stamp paper stating the details of the lost deed, sign and notarise from a public notary
