Maharashtra has started property e-registrations and the State is reportedly all set to also introduce blockchain. What is Blockchain? It is a technology by which users can keep a historic ledger of every transaction that has happened in the past for any asset be it a crypto currency or a piece of real estate like land or building. Track2realty analyses whether blockchain would be the future of real estate transactions.
A homebuyer in Noida wished to sell his newly delivered apartment before the formal registry to the other party. As per the law, there is no transfer charge applicable since the said property has not been registered in the name of the first party itself and stamp duty is yet to be paid. However, he was taken by surprise when the builder asked for Rs. 2 lakh fee in the name of expenses with the Noida Authority.
The builders’ stand is that once the allotment letter is given to the buyers, he has to submit the list to the authority and henceforth there are expenses involved.
