Can you own this, and how?
Ownership rights depend on three things: the type of asset, where it sits, and who you are as a buyer. Here is the framework for this property, before you speak to a lawyer.
I am buying as:
- Status
- Permitted, freehold
- What you actually hold
- You hold freehold title to the flat or house, plus an undivided share in the land and common areas. In a society or apartment association you also hold membership rights.
- Key rules and restrictions
- The sale deed must be registered at the sub-registrar office in whose jurisdiction the property sits.
- Under-construction stock should be RERA registered in the state.
- A resale flat needs a no-objection certificate from the society and proof that maintenance dues are clear.
- Funds and process
- Domestic funds. Cash consideration of Rs 20,000 or more is barred under section 269SS. The buyer deducts 1% TDS under section 194-IA where the consideration is Rs 50 lakh or more.
- Taxes
- Stamp duty runs about 5% to 8% of the higher of consideration and circle rate, and registration fee is usually 1%. Several states give women buyers a rebate of 1% to 2%. Long term capital gains on a holding of over 24 months are taxed at 12.5% without indexation, with a 20% indexed option for residents on property bought before 23 July 2024.
- Verify before you buy
- Pull the encumbrance certificate for at least the last 30 years.
- Match the khata or property tax record to the seller's name.
- Confirm the occupancy certificate exists for a completed building.
Buyer orientation, not legal advice. Ownership rules change and turn on specifics. Confirm with a qualified lawyer in India before you commit.
