You can obtain a certified copy of the sale deed from the registrar office where it was registered after filling an application and payment of requisite fees.

Transfer of property is not required in order to get a certified copy of the sale deed.

this sale deed would be different than the deed you have lost. In the new sale deed you would be one of the owners, not the absolute owner.

Hi

Immediately you lodge a police complaint before the concerned Police Station.

Give a Notification in News Papers one in vernacular language and other in English cautioning the general public not to deal with the property under the SD giving the details of SD.

Since you have Certified Copy of SD, yes you can sell your share of property by executing Sale Deed and registering before the concerned Registrar by paying requisite stamp duty.

Good Luck

Yes, you can create sale deed on your wife's name. And registered this sale deed in the same office of sub registrar from where you got certified copy of your original sale deed.

Since sale deed was a  registered one , you can certainly get a certified copy of it from the concerned Registration office which is as good as the original one.

If the same is not available at all then making a gift deed by way of transfer of some share therein is definitely a option.

The gift deed would attract lesser stamp duty.

1. the lost sale deed CANNOT be regenerated by you selling your half share to your wife

2. the bank/buyer will need all the chain documents including the lost sale deed

3. since the original is lost, you will have to lodge FIR, issue public notice and also obtain a declaration from court that you are the owner [the last requirement can be dispensed with if the buyer/bank does not insist for it]

Dear Sir,

How to get a certified copy of lost Sale Deed? How to get Duplicate Sale Deed?

Losing sensitive and valuable documents like a Registered Sale Deed can happen to anyone. So, what is the procedure to obtain a copy of lost Sale Deed? Below is the checklist of what you (owner of the property) have to do in case if you have misplaced the original property documents;


  • File a police Complaint immediately:

    • The first thing you need to do is to file FIR (First Information Report) in the nearest police station where you have lost your property documents.
    • Kindly note that only owner of the property has to file FIR, stating that the property papers have been mis-placed or lost or stolen. Do give your Mobile number when registering the FIR so that you can track its status later online.
    • You are advised to save a copy of the FIR for future use. The prospective buyer(s) of your property or bankers may ask for it in the future.
    • Kindly note that the Supreme Court has recently ordered all Sates & Union Territories’ police departments to upload First Information Reports (FIRs) on police or government websites, within 24 hours of their registration in police stations. So, once you file FIR in any police station, you can view the FIR details and its Status online. For example; Below is the screen-print of Tamilnadu Police Dept portal home page. 


  • Apply for a Certified Copy of Sale Deed :

    • You have to visit the Sub-Registrar office (SRO) where the property is registered and make an application to get a certified copy of Sale Deed.
    • The Registration office has the scanned copy of your Sale Deed with them. But, they will generally not give a certified copy immediately.
    • They will ask you to publish an advertisement in National and regional (local)newspaper about the loss of property documents (Sale deed).

Loss of original sale deed has nothing to do with your proposed transfer of a share of property to your wife.

For loss of sale deed you first lodge a police complaint with the local police, get a non traceable certificate and then publish it in the local news paper after which you can apply for a certified registration copy of the sale deed.

Yes, you can very well sell a portion or entire property to your wife considering her as a third party buyer, the relationship between you both do not affect the proposed sale of property to her.

You can very well proceed with your proposed sale deed.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you wish to execute the new sale deed and having the certified copy of the old sale deed.
  2. Yes, you can execute the new sale deed in favour of your wife, but you will have to pay consideration to your wife to make it a sale and get the sale deed. And also would have to pay a good amount of stamp duty.
  3. You should think of executing the release deed in her favour and then you will have to pay the less stamp duty in comparison to sale deed.
  4. But, at last, if you only wish to execute the sale deed then give some amount in terms of consideration to your wife to make it a valid sale transaction.
