1.  The following points should have been included in the Absolute Sale Deed:-

(a).  How the amount of Rs. 1,33,00,000/- was paid to the seller, such as DD, IMPS, NEFT, etc.

(b).  Clause mentioning 'Subject to the actual measurement' should not have been there in the ASD.

(c). In clause(5), instead of copies, original documents should have been there.

2.  It's effect on the sale deed could be rectified.

3.  Complete ownership is transferred to the buyer and owners having received the entire sale consideration and subsequent registration of the Absolute Sale Deed in favour of the buyer, clearly indicates that the sellers right over the property is extinguished.

4.  That means owners are ready to execute any supplementary deed to perfect the title of the buyer in future. It doesn't mean that the title is not transferred to the buyer.

5.  Since you have already received the original documents, it doesn't affect the title transfer.

6.  It looks unintentional.

1. There is no condition  imposed in the sale deed, hence what is that you wanted to clarify?

2. There is no such condition in your post.

3. The seller has transferred his ownership  by this registered sale deed.

4. It is a general covenant, the seller has to cooperate with you to transfer the khata because the khata is a revenue document and the sale deed is a title document, therefore it is the duty of the seller to transfer the khata to your name.

5. You go through the recital of the documents carefully, if you still are io doubt get an opinion from your lawyer.

6. No, not all.

It’s not a conditional sale deed any sale deed through which rights can’t be conveyed to the buyer through its covenant the same is void and not applicable. You can still move for rectification if both parties are available

Dear client,

It seems like the sale deed you've shared has some elements that raise concerns about the transfer of absolute ownership. Your deed does seem to have certain conditional elements. For instance, the clause "subject to the actual measurement" could imply that the final sale is contingent upon a measurement that hasn't been conducted yet. Rectification might involve an addendum or amendment to the deed clarifying this condition or conducting the agreed-upon measurement. This clause introduces uncertainty about the property's precise size or boundaries. It's advisable to rectify this by conducting the measurement as agreed upon or by modifying the deed to remove this condition.

As per the deed, the sellers seem to transfer ownership upon receiving the full payment. However, the clauses related to the Khatha transfer and signing documents to perfect the title hint that there might be some steps pending for full transfer. It's essential to clarify these points for complete ownership transfer. The clause indicates the seller's commitment to facilitating the transfer of title after the registration. It doesn't necessarily mean the title hasn't transferred but implies an assurance that any additional steps required for a clean title will be completed post-registration.

The absence of explicit language regarding title transfer in the deed could lead to confusion or disputes. Ensure that the deed explicitly states the transfer of title from the seller to the purchaser to avoid any future complications. If you suspect that the drafted deed might cause legal issues or isn't in your best interest, it's crucial to seek legal advice from a trusted lawyer specializing in property transactions. They can review the deed thoroughly and provide guidance on necessary amendments or actions to safeguard your interests.

The measurement which you made may not be in accordance to the actual measurement that would be made by a government surveyor.

Since you purchased 2400 Sq ft alone, you don't bother about the extra space, you should be concerned only if the area of extent is less than for which you paid/purchased.

There's no necessity to go for any rectification deed.

The recital clearly expresses that by this deed the property has been transferred to you with rights and interest by way of sale of property.

By this contents it's understood that the by this transfer you acquire a clear and marketable title to the property you purchased now.

Don't get confused by misinterpreting the contents.

Dear client,

Let's break down your concerns:

The discrepancy in the measured size might cause issues later. If the deed explicitly mentions that the sale is subject to the actual measurement, and the measured area exceeds what was initially agreed upon, it might affect the terms of the sale. Failure to rectify the difference in measurement could potentially lead to disputes or legal issues in the future, especially if the discrepancy becomes a point of contention between you and the sellers. It's essential to try and resolve this matter even if the sellers are currently abroad. If the deed specifies the sale as subject to actual measurement, a change in the measured area might affect the sale consideration. Depending on the agreed-upon price per square foot, the difference in area could impact the total sale amount. Rectification becomes crucial to ensure that the sale deed accurately reflects the property's dimensions and terms agreed upon by both parties. However, rectification might not be mandatory if both parties agree to the new dimensions and are willing to proceed without altering the deed.

Regarding the statement: "The SELLERS hereby grants/transfers... as normally be conveyed under the sale":

This phrase typically refers to the standard transfer of ownership rights and interests that occur in a property sale, subject to the conditions agreed upon in the sale deed. It means the transfer of ownership is in line with the usual procedures of a property sale, subject to the conditions mentioned in the sale deed. If any conditions outlined in the deed aren't met, it might impact the completeness or legality of the transfer. The sale might not become invalid per se, but discrepancies or unfulfilled conditions could create complications in proving absolute ownership or defending against potential disputes in the future. As per the deed's language, it seems that ownership is intended to transfer to you upon meeting all the conditions outlined in the deed. However, the discrepancies in measurements and other conditions might affect the completeness of this transfer.
