Registration & Record of Rights

Registration & Record of Rights is a comprehensive, practice-oriented guide covering the law and administrative procedures that govern land registration and maintenance of land records. Beginning with the legal framework — the Registration Act, relevant state land revenue laws, and rules on mutation and transfer — the book explains each stage: title search, preparation and presentation of documents, registration formalities, stamp duty, registration fees, possession and delivery of title, mutation and entry in record-of-rights, issuance of receipts and encumbrance certificates, and procedures for rectification and correction. Practical chapters include step-by-step checklists for registering sale/lease/gift/mortgage instruments, model forms and specimen entries for Record of Rights (RoR), guidance on digital land records and online registration portals, and templates for objections, appeals and rectification petitions. The text integrates key judicial pronouncements on constructive notice, adverse possession, fraud in registration, and dual registration conflicts, helping readers apply law to real-world title issues. Designed for legal practitioners, revenue officers, surveyors, registrars, property consultants and landowners, this book bridges statutory detail with operational clarity—minimizing title risk and improving land record transparency.
