The paperwork buyers and sellers in Multan usually need for a society transfer or a registry, and the steps to keep the deal safe.
A property deal is only complete when ownership is transferred in the official record. Paying the full amount without the transfer leaves the buyer exposed. Here is what is usually needed in Multan and the rest of Punjab.
For a society transfer
Societies such as DHA Multan and private schemes keep their own ownership record. The usual requirements are:
- Original allotment letter or previous transfer letter
- Original CNICs of the buyer and the seller, with copies and photographs
- Clearance of all society dues, with the society's no demand certificate
- Proof of tax paid by the seller and the buyer under federal income tax rules
- Society transfer forms signed by both parties, often in the presence of the society officer
- Biometric verification where the society requires it
For a registry outside societies
For property recorded in the revenue system, the sale is completed through a registered sale deed and then an intiqal, the mutation of ownership in the land record.
- Latest fard showing the seller's ownership
- Stamp duty and registration fee paid as per current Punjab rates
- Sale deed registered at the sub registrar office
- Mutation entered in the land record after registration
Taxes to plan for
Buyers and sellers each pay advance income tax, and the rate is lower for people on the active taxpayer list. Punjab adds stamp duty and other charges. These rates change with budgets, so always confirm the current figures before the transfer date.
Keep the deal safe
- Never hand over the full amount before the transfer is processed
- Pay by pay order or bank transfer
- Keep copies of every receipt and form
- Collect the new transfer letter or registered deed in your own name
