Make an agreement to sell. Then pay him a booking amount, say 2-3 lakhs. Then give him a PDC for the remaining amount. Or give him a DD at the time of registration.

You just can't give him almost the whole amount initially.

Yes he can give a cheque. That will involve paying stamp duty. A gift deed can be made.

- You can pay 10% of the consideration amount at the time of booking the flat ,and further at the time of registration of sale deed pay remaining amount to the builder .

- If you will pay the 90% before the registration , then may face trouble from him.

- Yes, that property can be registered in your name with the funding of your father. 

- If your father will purchase in his name , then for transferring the property in your name double stamp duty may be charged.

No prudent person gives much of the total considerable duration booking or making sale agreement.  Pay it in part as per progress of the work.  If it's ready then pay majority of the amount during registration of sale deed.

First an agreement to sell is executed by making token amount of 10 % than at the time of registration  balance is paid before the Registrar this is the procedure. Following  are the documents to be checked before purchase. …

  1. Original sale deed in favor of seller. (if sale deed is available, the risk of bank lean of property ruled out)
  2. Original sale deeds of seller’s seller and linking documents.
  3. Municipal records, as to whether property is mutated in seller’s name.
  4. Clearance of municipal dues, electricity dues, water cess, telephone dues.
  5. Whether the property self acquired by seller or ancestral.
  6. Legal heirs/sharers in the property of seller for obtaining consent of all of them.
  7. If property is newly constructed, the approved sanction plan.
  8. A public notice to be issued seeking objections by unknowns to purchase of property.
  9. Circle rate of property for payment of stamp duty.

Dear Sir/Ma’am,

First, enquire and get the completion certificate from the builder. And execute an agreement to sell.

Further, you will have to make only 10% at the time of registration and the balance is paid in the presence of the registrar.

The property can be registered in his and funds can be transferred by your father. After the same, he can execute a gift deed and transfer the ownership to you.

However, if your dad has given a written statement for the registration to be done in your name, then the property can be in your name and funding from his account.

Thank You

why not pay full amount to the builder SIMULTANEOUSLY with registration of the sale deed?

that would be more better

the builder is not concerned who makes the payment

he is only concerned that the cheque he is given should be realised upon presentation to his banker for encashment

i dont think he will agree for a cheque

you can give a DD or PO instead which is as good as cash

if the property is purchased in the name of your father and it is to be transferred to your name, then a gift deed can be made and registered for which the stamp duty is only Rs. 200

If you have planned to buy a property then you may have to pay the sale consideration amount to the seller.Therefore what is your doubt about paying the sale consideration amount demanded by the seller at the time of registration.

Before that you may get a legal opinion from a local lawyer about the genuineness of the property and then proceed only if recommended.

You can very well buy the property out of your father's funds.

You can deposit your father's cheque to your bank account and issue a cheque from your account to the seller which will solve the problem.Buying the property on your father's name will involve stamp duty  and again transfer of the same property to you once agains will involve another huge stamp duty which is unnecessary, hence better buy the property on your name itself.

Yes you can buy the property from the funds you have father provided you.

You can ask your father to give you a gift deed in your name for this amount which would be useful for you to file ITR in future with regard to the source of this income.

1. It is for you to decide whether to accede to his demand or not.

2. If he is going to directly execute the sale deed then no harm in doing this.

3. You can pay with your dad's cheque if the builder is ready to accept it.

4. Your dad will have to execute gift deed in your favour.

-    Builders do lot of things.

 

-    Absolutely no need to pay 90% before registration.

Builder is asking because you are not taking loan.

 

-    Since this is ready to move in then you can pay DD on the day of registration.

You can pay 10-20% for agreement of sale before registration.

 

-    Your father can directly give DD on registration date to builder directly.

 

-    You can make him joint owner also.

Later he can execute Release deed to give his share to you.

Charges will be minimal for it.

 

-    Your father can gift money to your account and you can use that money to buy flat.

 

All the options are possible.
