You can't change the existing details and area specifications in your earlier documents and conceal the same for sale
Hi, After getting multiple requests from my neighbours, I plan to donate 1 feet of land, on one side of my property, where currently a small lane of 4.5ft connects to backside houses. My neighbours have agreed to take care of all expenses incurred for this, which they think is (only) demolition and construction of existing compound wall on that side. What are the other legal matters I should keep in mind when I donate land for widening the road. How can I change the area of land currently in my property documents, so that I do not face any problem if I want to cell my property. What would be the kind of expenses I can expect for the change in property documents?

You can't change the existing details and area specifications in your earlier documents and conceal the same for sale
You can execute agreement to surrender for one feet of land in favour of muncipal corporation or panchayat
building of road would be muncipal corporation responsibly
- Since , you have purchased the said property with the execution of documents in your favour , hence for changing of any clause in that documents presence of both parties required.
- Finally, you cannot change/rectify the existing details and area specifications in your documents.
- Better to draft a mutual agreement with the help of your neighbours , after mentioning that due to requirement of widening the road , 4.5 ft land is given for the same , and nobody has any right over the area in future ,except you.
- Accordingly , the new purchaser will have right to use over the same area as per law, and he will not hesitate to purchase from you.
See you can make an agreement for that portion of the land with neighbour . Based on agreement for way the mutation of the proeprty and share can be changed.
As per u/s 17 of registration act property worth more than Rs.100/- if transferred then it need to be registered otherwise transferred is not valid.
To transfer your porperty in your neighbour name you need to make gift deed Or sale deed.
Just a clarification to the above question. I am not selling. I am donating for the public road, a land area 1 ft x 45 ft (45 square feet) along the side of my compound which is adjacent to the road. The existing panchayat road on that side is 4.5ft wide . My neighbours has requested to donate 1 ft from my compound side (45 ft long) so that the road gets widened to 5.5ft and some small vehicles can commute. Please note that I am not taking any money from them for giving this 1ft x 45 ft land. I wanted to know what changes need to be made in my property documents to make this donation legal, so that in future, if I am selling it, no problems arise. If I don't make any change to my property documents, the land area actually existing will be less than what is shown in property registered document. In other words, I want to change the area shown in my registered property documents after making this donation for road widening. How should I proceed to make this change? Whom should I contact? is there any well defined procedure?
If you are legally donating your will never encouter any issue for sale of your remaining land in future.
You have to execute gift to make neighbor owner of that portion/area. IS this a public or pass between houses.
Who owns road on that side 4.5ft wide?
Area in your title document will not change but by registered gift deed, 1 ft area shall be donate and shall be valid proof your land area with 1 ft less.
Dear
You need to execute an agreement in favour of municipal corporation for building of road.
You cannot change the current registration deed of your plot but while selling your property You need to disclose the agreement for donation of land to buyer and new registration will be according to remaining land.
