Property transactions me Agreement to Sell aur Sale Deed dono use hote hain, lekin dono ka role alag hai. Agreement to Sell ek promise ya roadmap jaisa hota hai – buyer-seller decide karte hain price, payment schedule, possession date, conditions, etc. Ownership usually abhi transfer nahi hoti.
Sale Deed wo final document hai jisse actual title transfer hota hai. Jab purchaser full/decided payment kar deta hai aur parties ready hoti hain, tab sale deed execute + register hota hai. Register hone ke baad hi buyer legally recognised owner ban jata hai (subject to local law variations).
Kayi log sirf Agreement to Sell karke hi secure samajh lete hain, lekin future dispute me court check karega ki final sale deed hua ya nahi, possession, payment proof kya hai, etc.
Best practice:
- Pehle detailed Agreement to Sell with safeguards,
- Phir timely Sale Deed registration without unnecessary delay.
Dono me proper legal drafting se future litigation ka risk kaafi kam ho jata hai.
