Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an agreement to sell and a sale deed?
An agreement to sell is a promise to transfer on agreed terms; the sale deed actually transfers ownership when executed and registered.
Does a builder-buyer agreement follow a fixed format?
For RERA-registered projects, the agreement for sale must follow the State's model format under the RERA rules.
Is TDS deducted on property purchase?
Yes. The buyer deducts TDS on immovable property worth ₹50 lakh or more and deposits it with the tax department.
Why check title before signing?
Because an agreement with a seller who lacks clear title can leave the buyer with a dispute instead of a property.
