Understanding a Title Deed
When it comes to land and property, basic knowledge of technical documents is necessary, so that you can go about your purchase process seamlessly. A title deed is one of the most important documents, and differs from a sales deed.
1A title is the legal right to own a land or property, and a deed attests a person’s right to own this. After a buyer and seller reach an agreement, the buyer formally acquires legal ownership over the said asset through property registration. The sale deed document reflects this.
2As per India's Registration Act, 1908, the sale deed needs to be registered so that property transferral in the owner's name can stand as legal proof. The sale deed becomes a title deed for the owner once the documents are validated in court, causing the two terms to be used interchangeably.

claims, typically with agricultural property. It also
asserts a complete chain of ownership in ancestral
property claims.
