Legal Question in Administrative Law in India

1) Property registration in India is governed by section 17 of registration act, 1908; this act is applicable to whole of India except the state of Jammu & Kashmir.

2) It refers to registering the changes in ownership and transactions related to the land/ immovable property. To guarantee yourself a legal title of land/immovable property you just purchased, you must register it with the concerned authority.

3) Registering your property has following benefits:-

It helps in setting disputes easily; if any arises about ownership of that property in any later stage.

The risk of fraud is greatly reduced.

The public record remains up-to-date which helps Govt. in conducting censuses, surveys and maintenance of any other useful public database.
