What is a sale deed?
A sale deed (conveyance deed) is the document that actually transfers ownership of immovable property from seller to buyer. It must be stamped and registered at the sub-registrar office with jurisdiction over the property. Until it is registered, the buyer does not get legal title. It usually follows a sale agreement that records the price and conditions.
What a sale deed covers
- Description of the property, boundaries and measurements
- Sale consideration and how it was paid
- Chain of title and the seller’s assurance of clear title
- Possession, handover of documents and indemnity
- Encumbrances, taxes and dues settled up to the sale date
Costs and tax points
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|

| Registration fee | Usually about 1%, subject to state caps |
| TDS | The buyer deducts 1% TDS when the consideration is ₹50 lakh or more |
