Frequently Asked Questions — Property Registration & Documentation

What documents are needed for property registration in Kolkata?

You need the original sale deed, previous title documents, mutation certificate, KMC property tax receipt, encumbrance certificate, NOC from the society (if applicable), and identity documents. The Sub-Registrar also requires photographs and fingerprints of the parties.

What is the stamp duty for property in West Bengal?

Stamp duty in West Bengal is approximately 5% for women and 6% for men of the property value, plus 1% registration fee. The rate may vary for areas within KMC vs outside. The stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the agreement value or the circle rate.

How long does property mutation take?

Mutation before KMC typically takes 30-60 days, while mutation before BL&LRO (for land outside KMC) can take 3-6 months. The process involves application, verification, and the mutation order. We help track and expedite the mutation process.

What is an encumbrance certificate and why is it important?

An encumbrance certificate (EC) shows whether the property has any registered charges, mortgages, or encumbrances. It is issued by the Sub-Registrar for the period specified (usually 15-30 years). A clear EC is essential before purchasing property to ensure clean title.

Can I register property with a power of attorney?

Yes, but the power of attorney must be registered and specifically authorize property transactions. General power of attorney is often insufficient. A special power of attorney for property registration is recommended. The POA must be presented at the time of registration.
