So, you’ve found a beautiful plot in Uttarakhand — maybe in Bhimtal, Mukteshwar, or near Rishikesh. Great! But before you build that dream cottage, let’s talk about the real paperwork.
This guide will take you through the complete registration & documentation process — whether you’re an outsider or a local.
✅ Step-by-Step: Property Registration in Uttarakhand
- Check the Title
Make sure the land:
- Belongs to the seller
- Is free of disputes or inheritance claims
- Has a mutation record in the seller’s name
Ask for: Khasra, Khatauni, mutation proof, and past registry deed
- Collect Key Documents
You’ll need:
- Seller’s ID proof (Aadhaar, PAN)
- Land ownership papers
- Buyer’s ID proof
- Two passport-size photos (both parties)
- Power of attorney (if applicable)
- NOC from forest or revenue if in restricted zones
- Stamp Duty & Registration Fee
- Stamp duty: 4% for women, 5% for men
- Registration fee: 1% of property value
- Must be paid before visiting the Sub-Registrar Office
👉 Tip: Check the circle rate — it’s the govt’s minimum valuation.
You must register at or above this rate.
- Visit the Sub-Registrar Office
Both buyer and seller must appear in person, with 2 witnesses. You’ll:
- Submit all papers
- Sign the sale deed
- Pay stamp duty + fee
- Do biometric verification (fingerprints)
- Get the Registered Deed
Within a few days, you’ll receive a registered copy of the sale deed.
Now, the land legally belongs to you!
Avoid These Mistakes
- Don’t buy without a title check
- Never skip the mutation record
- Don’t rely only on brokers — hire a local legal advisor if unsure
Final Thought
Whether you’re buying a villa in a gated community or a small plot in the hills — registration is what makes it yours legally.
