Q:I am about to get possession of my flat from AFNHB Airforce Naval Housing Board. Builder is telling me to register the property prior to giving possession. Is this legally permitted
Latest Answer: In India, builders cannot compel buyers to register properties before granting possession. As per the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, builders must obtain occupancy certificates before handing over possession.
Latest Answer: Well Leena,
Once your eligibility as a legal heir is confirmed, you need to apply for mutation of the propertys title in the concerned municipal department. Mutation helps in updating the property records, but it doesnt amount to recognition of title of ownership in the property.
