Often there are many types of disputes regarding property in people's homes. You must have all the documents of the house registry, but if it ever happens that your documents get lost somewhere, then you just have to take care of some things and you have to do some important things first.
Get an FIR done
If the property papers are lost somewhere, then in such a situation you have to immediately go to the nearest police station and file an FIR. Keep in mind that you must have photocopies of the property documents.
Apart from this, you should also give this information in writing to the Inspector General of Registration or the Sub-Registrar. In this written information, tell where your documents are lost so that the checking is done properly.
A duplicate share certificate is necessary
If you live in a housing society, you can obtain a duplicate share certificate of the property from the Resident Welfare Association. To get a duplicate share certificate, you will have to submit a copy of the FIR and a photocopy of the notice published in the newspaper. After this, the Resident Welfare Association will check all the documents and if found correct, will give you the share certificate.
Apply for Duplicate Sale Deed
It is very important to apply for a duplicate sale deed at the registrar's office for property documents. For this, you have to submit a copy of the FIR, the notice given in the newspaper, the duplicate share certificate and attested by the notary etc. to the undertaking registrar's office. For this, you will be charged some fee and a duplicate sale deed will be issued in your name.
