What If You Lose Your Original Property Papers?

Get duplicate copy of the original sale deed

To get a duplicate copy of the sale deed, you need to visit registrar’s office as it keeps all the records of transactions in its jurisdiction. "The owner will have to submit copies of the police complaint, share certificate from the housing society, the newspaper advertisement, and the undertaking, at the deputy registrar's office and pay the required charges. He will then be issued a copy of the sale deed," said Sampat.

"If it is an old property, it is also advisable to get a title report of the document to ascertain that the property is free of encumbrances. As the deputy registrar's office will have all the details of the property, you can easily get this document from there," explained Goenka.
