When I was buying a property, I realised that I had to sign a number of legal documents when purchasing or selling a home. After all, the transfer of property between parties is no minor matter. If you also have such a process and want to know about the deed of assignment of property in India, I will help you.

What is deed of assignment property?

The Deed of Assignment (DOA), in its simplest form, is a legal document that changes the ownership of a piece of property from one entity to another. If you're requesting a home credit in India, you'll additionally need to provide a DOA.

You must execute a Memorandum of Transfer in addition to the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) when purchasing or selling real estate (Form 14A).

The Deed of Assignment must be signed in its place, though, if the property in issue lacks a title. In a DOA, there are two people involved:

A individual or business known as the assignor will be handing the assignee their ownership interests in the property.

The property buyer in this situation would be the receiver.

The following two results occur if the property transfer is finished before signing a SPA with a developer:

The stamp duty will be determined by the property purchase price (as mentioned in the Memorandum of Transfer and SPA) or the property's market value if the individual title is given when entering into a SPA.

If the individual title is not given when entering into a SPA, a nominal stamp duty of RM10 will be applied to each copy of the SPA and Deed of Assignment. The stamp duty will be calculated after the individual title has been given using the property's market value on the SPA signing date rather than the Memorandum of Transfer date.

What Should I Look Out For In A Deed Of Assignment?

Even though legal documents can be tedious and lengthy to peruse, it's crucial to pay attention to them if you plan to sign them.

Take notice of the following significant Deed of Assignment provisions:

The names of all owners of the land must be listed in the document if there are multiple owners.

if appropriate, the property's agreed-upon price

Size and details of the land 

Transaction date

signatures from each party

Additionally, before signing the deed of assignment of property in India, be sure to have your attorney explain any legal words you are unsure about.

The stamp duty payable during assignation of debt by Asset Reconstruction Companies – By Adv. Haaris Moosa

In Phoenix Arc Private Limited, Mumbai Vs. M/S. Cherupushpam Films Pvt Limited, Ernakulam (2023) ibclaw.in 48 NCLT (hereafter Phoenix ARC) the question raised before the NCLT, Kochi Bench was whether stamp duty has to be paid on a deed assigning debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).  The NCLT Kochi Bench has held that the ARC is bound to pay the appropriate stamp duty as per the relevant state legislation, in this case the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959 (KSA, 1959

The stamp duty payable during assignation of debt by Asset Reconstruction Companies

Adv. Haaris Moosa

Stamping has been used by litigators as a deus ex machina for long. Insufficient stamping determines the fate of a case quite independent of its facts or merits. The interplay of the stamping legislations with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IB Code, 2016), has not been adequately analysed by either courts or tribunals.  Stamping in India is regulated by both Union and State legislations since it is covered by Entry 91 of the Union List and Entry 63 of the State List. The Union legislation is the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (ISA, 1899) 1 and almost all the States have their own stamping statutes. The stamping legislations of old vintage have stood their ground even with the coming of avant garde legislations meant to streamline commercial transactions like the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, SARFAESI Act, 2002, Companies Act, 2013 and now the IB Code,2016.

In Phoenix ARC Private Limited, Mumbai Vs. M/S. Cherupushpam Films Pvt Limited, Ernakulam (2023) ibclaw.in 48 NCLT  (hereafter Phoenix ARC ) the question raised before the NCLT, Kochi Bench was whether stamp duty has to be paid on a deed assigning debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).  The NCLT Kochi Bench has held that the ARC is bound to pay the appropriate stamp duty as per the relevant state legislation, in this case the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959 (KSA, 1959) 2 .  The Hon’ble NCLT held that the applicability of KSA 1959 2 is not ruled out by the prescription under Section 8F of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (ISA, 1899) which exempts ARCs from paying any stamp duty on “ any agreement or other document for transfer or assignment of rights or interest in financial assets of banks or financial institution s” covered under section 5 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002.

KSA, 1959 in section 25, declares the assignment of a debt to be a conveyance, and the duty payable has been pegged at 8%. In the instant case, the Tribunal found that the assignment deed was to be stamped at 8% as per Section 25 of KSA, 1959 since the agreement was made in Kerala. Interestingly in the instant case, the stamp duty as per KSA, 1959 comes to Rs. 6,33,99,500/- while the assignment deed was found to be made on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 500/-. Consequently, the Tribunal found the assignment deed to be unenforceable for insufficient stamping. Phoenix ARC breaks new ground in holding that the assignment of a debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company is liable to be stamped as per the concerned state stamping legislation.

In Essar Steel India Ltd. Committee of Creditors v. Satish Kumar Gupta [2019] ibclaw.in 07 SC  (hereafter Essar Steel ) the supreme court confirmed the decision of the NCLAT, [2019] ibclaw.in 109 NCLAT in affirming the decision of the NCLT in rejecting an application that suffered from insufficient stamping. And held that “Further, the submission of the Appellants that they have now paid the requisite stamp duty, after the impugned NCLAT judgment, would not assist the case of the Appellants at this belated stage. These appeals are therefore dismissed.” 3 Quite to the contrary, in Praful Nanji Satra v. Vistra ITCL (India) Ltd. (2022) ibclaw.in 550 NCLAT , the NCLAT went on to reject an argument for dismissal of an application for insufficient stamping, holding that the only issue that the NCLT in IBC proceedings can look at is whether there has been a default, and nothing further. It was also held that insufficient stamping is a curable defect. The effect of insufficient stamping has attracted contradictory judgments from the NCLAT and the Supreme Court. However, Phoenix ARC follows the correct law laid down by the Supreme Court in Essar Steel .

It is to be noted that proceedings under Code are non-adversarial. Any applicant seeking to initiate corporate insolvency proceedings is required to produce documents that satisfy the Adjudicating Authority (the NCLT) proving the default committed by the corporate debtor. Such an applicant is also required to ensure that the financial contracts on which they rely are legally sound and are not truncated. While structuring true sale transactions for assignment of debt (standard assets or NPA), compliance under the applicable stamping legislations must be ensured to avoid legal complications.

What is Deed of Assignment for Flat?

A Deed of Assignment for flat is a very important document in the process of transfer of flat property ownership. This document legally transfers ownership from the assignor to the assignee. But what exactly is an assignor and assignee, and what are the important points to include in a deed of assignment?

Important Points

Meaning of Assignor and Assignee

An assignor is a person who currently owns the flat property and is transferring its ownership to another person. The assignee is the person who is receiving the flat property ownership. The deed of assignment for flat is the document that legally transfers property ownership from the assignor to the assignee.

Meaning of Deed of Assignment for flat

The Deed of Assignment for flat is a legal instrument that formalizes the transfer of flat property ownership from the Assignor (owner)  to the Assignee (purchaser). The document acts as evidence of the transfer of flat property ownership and is used to protect the rights and interests of both parties.

Some Key Points in the Deed of Assignment

When creating a deed of assignment for flat, it is important to include several key points to ensure that the transfer of flat ownership is legally binding and properly documented. Here are some examples of important points to include:

Description of the flat/property

The deed of assignment for flat should include a detailed description of the property being transferred. This can include information such as the address, size, and any unique features of the property.

Flat/Property construction details

It is also important to include information about the construction of the flat property, such as the name of the constructor and details about the plan approval, commencement and completion certificates, etc.

Information of the Society

The deed of assignment for flat should include information about the society, like, the society name, and its registration number. 

Prior transaction history of the property

The deed of assignment for flat should include information about any prior transactions that happened on the flat property. This can include information about how the existing owner has received the ownership and all the references about previous transactions.

Consideration amount and payment details

The deed of assignment for flat should include information about the consideration amount (i.e. the amount of money being paid for the property), the mode of payment, and any details about the payment schedule.

Acknowledgment of payment

The Deed of Assignment for flat should also include a clause where the Assignor gives an acknowledgment that he/she has received the agreed consideration amount from the Assignee. This will help in avoiding any disputes in the future regarding the payment made for the property. It is essential to ensure that the consideration amount has been received in full and that the Assignor has no further claims to the property.

Assurances and indemnification by the assignor

One of the most critical aspects of a Deed of Assignment for flat is the assurances and indemnification provided by the Assignor to the Assignee. The Assignor must assure the Assignee that the property being transferred is free from any encumbrances or legal issues. The Assignor’s assurance declares that the property is not subject to any liens, leases, mortgages, or other agreements that may impact the transfer of the property. Moreover, the Assignor must confirm that the property is not the subject of any court litigation, and they hold the title of the property free and clear. This assurance guarantees that the property being transferred has a clean title, and there are no legal disputes attached to it.

Assurance of no payment dues

The Assignor must assure the Assignee that there are no outstanding dues or pending payments towards any electricity charges, piped gas connection charges, Society maintenance charges, property taxes, and other charges, all taxes and dues in the respect of the property as of the date of execution of the Deed of Assignment for flat. The Assignor should further declare that in case any dues or taxes remain unpaid till the date of execution of the Deed, he/she will pay the same without any objection or dispute.

Assignor’s promise to co-operate with assignee

The assignor should promise to co-operate with the assignee in the future if any documents need to be signed or if any other actions are required to transfer ownership of the flat property. For example – cooperation for enrolling the Assignee’s name as owners of the property in all Government records, society records, Property Tax & M.S.E.B., etc. as & when be required.

Governing law in case of any dispute

The deed of assignment for flat should specify the governing law that will be used in case of any disputes between the assignor and the assignee.

Execution in the presence of witnesses

Finally, the deed of assignment for flat should be signed (executed) by both the Assignor and the Assignee in the presence of witnesses. This ensures that the transfer of ownership is legally binding.

Registration and Stamp Duty

After the Deed of Assignment for flat has been signed by both the parties (assignor and assignee), it must be registered in the sub-registration office. In Maharashtra, the stamp duty for registration is calculated based on the consideration price or the government valuation of the property, whichever is higher. This is an important step to ensure that the transfer of ownership is legally recognized and that the rights and interests of both parties are protected. Proper registration of the Deed of Assignment will also prevent any future disputes or legal complications.

The deed of assignment for flat plays a vital role in transferring the ownership of a property. The document is a legally binding agreement that protects the interests of both the Assignor and the Assignee. It is important to include the above-mentioned important points. Additionally, registering the deed of assignment in the sub-registration office and paying the applicable stamp duty is mandatory.

Deed of Assignment: Everything You Need to Know

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of a real estate property from one party to another. 3 min read updated on January 01, 2024

Updated October 8,2020:

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of a real estate property from one party to another. It states that a specific piece of property will belong to the assignee and no longer belong to the assignor starting from a specified date. In order to be valid, a deed of assignment must contain certain types of information and meet a number of requirements.

What Is an Assignment?

An assignment is similar to an outright transfer, but it is slightly different. It takes place when one of two parties who have entered into a contract decides to transfer all of his or her rights and obligations to a third party and completely remove himself or herself from the contract.

Also called the assignee, the third party effectively replaces the former contracting party and consequently assumes all of his or her rights and obligations. Unless it is stated in the original contract, both parties to the initial contract are typically required to express approval of an assignment before it can occur. When you sell a piece of property, you are making an assignment of it to the buyer through the paperwork you sign at closing.

What Is a Deed of Assignment?

A deed of assignment refers to a legal document that facilitates the legal transfer of ownership of real estate property. It is an important document that must be securely stored at all times, especially in the case of real estate.

In general, this document can be described as a document that is drafted and signed to promise or guarantee the transfer of ownership of a real estate property on a specified date. In other words, it serves as the evidence of the transfer of ownership of the property, with the stipulation that there is a certain timeframe in which actual ownership will begin.

The deed of assignment is the main document between the seller and buyer that proves ownership in favor of the seller. The party who is transferring his or her rights to the property is known as the “assignor,” while the party who is receiving the rights is called the “assignee.”

A deed of assignment is required in many different situations, the most common of which is the transfer of ownership of a property. For example, a developer of a new house has to sign a deed of assignment with a buyer, stating that the house will belong to him or her on a certain date. Nevertheless, the buyer may want to sell the house to someone else in the future, which will also require the signing of a deed of assignment.

This document is necessary because it serves as a temporary title deed in the event that the actual title deed for the house has not been issued. For every piece of property that will be sold before the issuance of a title deed, a deed of assignment will be required.

Requirements for a Deed of Assignment

In order to be legally enforceable, an absolute sale deed must provide a clear description of the property being transferred, such as its address or other information that distinguishes it from other properties. In addition, it must clearly identify the buyer and seller and state the date when the transfer will become legally effective, the purchase price, and other relevant information.

In today's real estate transactions, contracting parties usually use an ancillary real estate sale contract in an attempt to cram all the required information into a deed. Nonetheless, the information found in the contract must be referenced by the deed.

Information to Include in a Deed of Assignment

• Names of parties to the agreement
• Addresses of the parties and how they are binding on the parties' successors, friends, and other people who represent them in any capacity
• History of the property being transferred, from the time it was first acquired to the time it is about to be sold
• Agreed price of the property
• Size and description of the property
• Promises or covenants the parties will undertake to execute the deed
• Signatures of the parties
• Section for the Governors Consent or Commissioner of Oaths to sign and verify the agreement

Being lawyer, first you need to check the relevant jurisdiction and decide which stamp Act applies e.g. Maharashtra Stamp Act (previously Bombay Stamp Act) and then read the relevant provision.
