• Rectification Deed and Stamp Duty

In my registered sale deed (in Bhopal, year 2017) there is an error in the flat no. (2nd instead of 3rd) mentioned. I would like to go for a rectification deed to correct the error. Would this be considered as a minor, typographical error and exempted from paying fresh/new stamp duty at prevailing rates?

Minor error, wrong address correction.  No stamp duty payable, fees rs. 100 only will levy.


Typographical error.

It is minor typographical error and would attract nominal stamp duty

1. Legally there is no provision to AGAIN pay full Stamp Duty and Registration fee on "Rectification Deed", PROVIDED the original Sale Deed was duly Stamp Duty paid and duly Registered before the taluka registrar of sub-assurances.

- If a deed contains mistakes like mis-spellings in names, description of property, these mistakes can later be corrected through rectification deeds.

- A deed can be rectified at any time since there is no limitation for rectification. Whenever an error found out in a deed, the parties can proceed with rectification of the error at any time.

- Since, there is an error in the flat number in your registered Sale deed, hence it comes under the typographical error.

- The registration charges and stamp duty for typographical errors are usually around Rs. 100.

1. Yes, if the description, area of the flat remains same except the flat number then the error is considered to be minor and can be rectified by way of a deed of rectification.

2. For doing this the stamp duty to be paid is fixed one and very negligible one.

It's a minor error and will be rectified through rectification deed

This may be considered as minor error only if the previous title document has the correct number of the flat, hence the registered rectification deed may not attract any stamp duty considering it as typo error.

No this would not be considered as typographical error. But you can try making an application for minor error Rectification. 

You may have to pay fresh stampduty and registration charges.
