• Apartment name different in my sale deed compared to others

Hello Advocates,
Need your advise, please help me out, thanks in advance
I purchased a flat in an apartment consisting of 8 flats. There are 2 builders for this apartment. The landlord gave her land for development to these 2 builders. Landlord (A) got 4 flats and each builder(B and C) got two each.
I purchased the flat from one of the builder(B). C is keeping the flats to himself. A hasn't sold any flats(the are giving flats sons and son-in-laws).
I was the first one to buy the flat in this apartment. In my sale agreement and sale deed apartment name is mentioned as "Aparna tridanandapani" which was given by A as per B.
Now, another person bought flat from B, in his sale deed apartment name is mentioned as "Aparna Heights". C also got his flats registered with the same name i.e "Aparna Heights" when C got his flat registered.
I am the only person who has the name "Aparna Tridanandapani". The development cum general power of attorney document and building permission(GHMC- Greater Hyderabad Municipality Commission ) do NOT have any apartment name mentioned only the plot name and survey number is mentioned.
Property tax/House name also has "AH" in it. One of the son in law of the landlord is responsible of changing this. They haven't contacted me before changing it. There is no society formed for the apartment.
Will there be any problem for me due to different name in the sale deed? There is no linked document i.e Development agreement, building permission with any of the name i.e Aparna Heights or Aparna Tridanandapani.
Should I go for rectification deed? I was told that it may attract stamp duty. However, I want to be sure that i don't face any problems especially while reselling.

Hi

1) Since the apartment name has been amended as Aparna Heights in sale deed executed by B and C , please ask B to execute a rectification deed wherein the apartment name is changed from Aparna Tridanandapani to Aparna heights in your sale deed also.

2) Since the survey numbers, property boundaries and schedules are one and the same, there need not be any worry at all on any legal aspects. However it is better to ask B to execute a registered rectification deed for peace of mind purposes.

3) The cost of executing a registered rectification deed will be less than Rs5000 only as it pertains to change of name of apartment complex.

Hope this information is useful.

Deed of rectification can be executed to rectify the errors in name in the sale deed. Property tax/House name also mention as "AH" so it may be mostly relied as "Aparna Heights". the cost of rectification deed is only Rs. 100/-,

A rectification deed should be executed after mutual consent of all the parties to the main deed. All parties to the original deed should jointly execute the rectification deed as well.In case the original deed is registered, the rectification deed should also be registered. The requisite stamp duty and registration charges should be paid as per the laws in force in the State. For errors such as spelling mistakes, the stamp duty and registration charges are Rs 100 each. In case a rectification deed relates to the area, names of the parties, or extent of the property, the stamp duty and registration charges as applicable to a conveyance deed are payable.

Hi

A ratification deed is "some thing that is approved by a person( who had a legal right as of date of deed) at a later date". so technically no amendments can be carried out in a ratification deed.

A rectification deed is a "deed for rectifying any inadvertent mistakes". so in this you should change the apartment name.

Also, the rectification deed should be signed by B only.

In law , supplementary agreement needs to be registered as well. however since there are other flat owners who are also impacted, once the society is formed, this problem can be sorted out by all flat owners collectively.

Hope this information is useful.

Dear Sir

Rectification deed goes with earlier sale deed. So never face any problem. Usually supplementary agreement must also be registered and registration numbers of all documents to be mentioned in rectification deed. Signatures of the owners/developers to whose share your apartment falls gas to sign. Avoid GPAs

Will there be any problem for me due to different name in the sale deed? There is no linked document i.e Development agreement, building permission with any of the name i.e Aparna Heights or Aparna Tridanandapani.

In such case the change of name of the apartments will not be a big problem. Since you have the plot number, survey number, address and the check boundaries proper, there is nothing to be concerned about it

However you can contact your seller to execute a rectification deed in this regard.

Should I go for rectification deed? I was told that it may attract stamp duty. However, I want to be sure that i don't face any problems especially while reselling.

There is no stamp duty to be paid for rectification deed, you can proceed if you want to go for a rectification deed.

The supplementary deed are not generally registered, hence there is no issue on it.

The subsequent rectification deed has to be executed by the vendors.

The document writer need to be educated on this.

In general any rectification deed to be registered will suffer registration charges alone and not stamp duty also.

Signature of both are required in case we go for retification deed. Further in retification correction is not required just it is required that the apartment previously know as and now know as.
