Question 1

What is the difference between allotment letter and conveyance deed?

Accepted Answer

Allotment letter is the initial document allocating the plot. Conveyance deed is the formal registered document establishing ownership. HUDA issues both, but may delay registering the conveyance deed.

Question 2

Can I register the plot in my name if HUDA hasn't registered the conveyance deed?

Accepted Answer

After taking possession, you can apply for registration based on the allotment letter and your purchase agreement. HUDA must cooperate. Once registered, you have absolute title.

Question 3

Do I need HUDA's approval for second-party transfer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HUDA typically gives approval for transfers to ensure compliance with allotment conditions. This agreement includes procedures for obtaining HUDA's no-objection certificate.

Question 4

What happens if HUDA refuses to transfer or register?

Accepted Answer

HUDA typically approves transfers if conditions are satisfied. The agreement includes indemnity from the seller for any HUDA-related delays or refusals.

Question 5

What is the difference between an Agreement to Sell and a Sale Deed?

Accepted Answer

An Agreement to Sell is a contract that records the parties' intention to transfer property in the future on agreed terms. The Sale Deed is the document that actually transfers ownership and is compulsorily registrable under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908. Per Section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, an Agreement to Sell does not by itself create any interest in the property — only the registered Sale Deed does.

Question 6

Is an Agreement to Sell legally enforceable in India without registration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An unregistered Agreement to Sell, if executed on appropriate stamp paper and signed by both parties along with witnesses, is admissible as evidence in a suit for specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. However, if possession of the property is being delivered along with the Agreement, registration becomes mandatory under state law (post Registration & Other Related Laws (Amendment) Act, 2001).

Question 7

What is earnest money, and what happens if either party defaults?

Accepted Answer

Earnest money is a token amount paid by the buyer to the seller as proof of the buyer's intention to purchase. If the buyer defaults on the agreed payment timeline, the seller is entitled to forfeit the earnest money under the standard 'time is the essence' clause. If the seller defaults on executing the Sale Deed, the buyer can sue for specific performance and recover the earnest money with damages.

Question 8

Can this template be used for properties in any Indian state?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the template is drafted in line with central laws (Transfer of Property Act, Registration Act, Indian Stamp Act, Specific Relief Act). Stamp duty, however, is a state subject and varies. The template carries blank fields where you fill in state-specific stamp duty values. We recommend confirming the exact stamp value with a local lawyer or sub-registrar before printing on stamp paper.

Question 9

Will I get notarisation and registration support?

Accepted Answer

This is a self-service downloadable template — you receive an editable .docx that you fill in and execute. If you'd like end-to-end support with stamp paper procurement, drafting, notarisation, and registration appointment booking, please contact our team — we offer this as a separate paid service.
