Its a commercial shop built in the early 90s. The property is still in the name of the builder as per the building records. I now want to get it registered in my name. What's the process to get this done and what are the documents that will be required.

See if  sale deed in your name is not registered then the original owner or his legal heirs in case of demise of original owner have to transfer said property to you

A registered agreement has to be done with the owner ie the builder. For that engage a lawyer who will do a due diligence and then make an agreement and then get it registered. Stamp duty has to be paid.

1. If you are buying the property from the builder then builder has to execute the sale deed in your favour to transfer the title to you.

2. After the execution of sale deed you must apply for transfer of mutation in the competent revenue office.

The person who is holding the title is other than the Builder but you have not done the mutation of the property when he has purchased the property you can go ahead and purchase the property but you have to go for mutation of the property since it is transferred from builder to get the property in your name and record your name in revenue records

First issue a notice to the seller of your intentions of getting the property registered and to be present before registrar on any scheduled date and time. 

Make an application in this regard to registrar along with copy of sale deed and notice. 

Registrar will issue similar notice to the seller. If seller does not appear before registrar on particular date and time registrar will do the registration in your favour in absence of seller.

1. A Sale Deed document is necessary with relevant Stamp Duty paid and only then it can be registered (even unilaterally) without the need of the Builder. Other supporting documents (Aadhar, PAN, Property Tax & Water tax receipts, income tax returns etc.... would be required.

2.  Do the above thru a Estate Agent or a Property Lawyer.

You can get it registered with the help of the builder as it can't be unilaterally registrared. If builder is not ready or available then you need to approach court

There is no limitation period prescribed for the registration of a property under the law. This means that you are free to register your property even today. As for the cost of such registration, the same shall be governed by the Rules under the Registration Act which vary from state to state. Hence, the cost of registration will depend on the location of your property and the current market value of the same.

You will require a confirmation deed from builder to get the registration done on your name.

You cannot register the property to your name b y yourself.

The seller has to execute the registered sale deed on your name.

Hence you may have to contact the builder who has sold you the property for executing the same.

If he is refusing then you may have to file a suit for specific performance of contract seeking specific relief of registered sale deed in your favor by a court direction failing which the court to execute the same on behalf of the seller.

You may approach a local lawyer and proceed as per the advise received.

If you want a sale deed on your name then the seller has to execute a registered sale deed in your name and not that you can do anything in that manner by yourself, however if he refuses o execute a sale deed then you may approach court with a suit for specific reliefs.

For all such further issues and suggestions you may consult a local lawyer who will be able to guide you properly based on the relevant papers held in yor possession
