Property registration in Kolkata India

Hi,

I have bought a flat in Kolkata on a total payment of Rs. 24,25,200. When I registered the sale deed I paid stamp duty of Rs. 1,43,000/-. The sale deed registration was done 6 months back. Now I need to register the property. I have the following questions:

1. What percentage of the property price needs to be paid as stamp duty?
2. Is it necessary to get the property price re evaluated before I do the final registration and if so then do i need to pay the stamp duty based on the re evaluated price?

Please let me know the details at the earliest.

Hello there. Truthfully, you need to speak with an Indian lawyer about your situation. This would be a rather simple matter for such an attorney, but the likelihood of a US lawyer being able to help you is quite low. Here is a suggestion. WLD has lawyers in India, and if you go to their main page you could contact them and receive some referral information. In the longrun, that would really be the best and cheapest way to go here. Hope everything works out. AJJ

Dear Sir,

I have advanced Rs.7,36,000/- to the Promoter for a Flat at Helabattala, Barasat, Kolkata-700124 in June,2004 but the problem is the Promoter is now not taking any action to register my flat.Infact he has already lost the "Power of Attorney" from the LandLady who is now no more in us.

In this context please suggest how I can get registered my Flat at the earliest.

Can be noted also that the Promoter is not accepting the result of "Joint Measurement of Flat area" and I am also stick to the result of "Joint measurement of Flat Area".

Looking forward for your kind advice as I am willing to register my Flat by 2009.

Thanks,
