1. The house can not be registred anymore unless the legal heris of the original seller agrees for it.

2. Your father, his sister and mother can apply for mutating their name in the register of the property.

3. Since you are in enjoyment and possession of the land for long, you can sale this property.

4. Since you have no title deed except the one you have mentioned then you better make the payment since 1980.

1. Is the seller alive? If he is dead then are his legal heirs traceable? What is the time period specified in the agreement for the registration of the land?

2. You are not the legal owner of the house as it has not been registered. The seller or his legal heirs have to, in accordance with the agreement, make the sale deed in favour of your grandmother.

3. You will be able to apply for loan after the registration is done.

Hi, you can not register the property right now if the original owner is alive or not and suppose you ask then for registration and your are in trouble as per my opinion it is better pay the taxes and transfer the katha in your name.

1. Do you possess the original agreement which was made between your grandmother and the seller?

2. A conveyance deed, even if unregistered, must have been executed in favour of the person from whom you bought the land. Even in pre-independence period the registration used to take place. You should take out a title search in the office of the local registrar to find out the status of the antecedent ownership.

3. The bond prepared by your father has no legal validity.

4. Registration is not possible on the basis of the current bills and water bills.

5. Under no circumstances the bank will give you even a penny as loan as you do not have the title deed of the property.

1. You do not have the title of the property since your grandmother had not registered the purchase of the said property bhe purchased in the year 1950,

2. Without registration, title of landed property does not get transfered to the buyer from the seller,

3. Contact the legal heirs of the person from whom your grandmother had purchased the land and try to get the property registered with their signatures as sellers,

4. If they refuse, you can file a declaratory suit praying for declaration that the property was purchased by your grand mother for which you are its actual owner now and directing the registrar to register the property in your names.

1. You shall have to establish that you are the owner of the property,

2. Electricity and Water Bills are not irrefutable evidence of ownership of a property,

3. You are not expected tp get loan from any PSU Bank for want of evidence of ownership of the property,

4. File the declaratory suit as suggested in my earlier post.
