What is a Mother Deed? From where can I obtain it? How much does it cost to obtain?

[chidu]

Mother deed is the deed which precedes the current sale deed. It is a transaction by which previous owner of the property acquired it. You should be able to get a certified copy from subregistar office. This deed may not exist if the property Is allotted for the first time to the current owner by BDA or the land owner has for the first time created and allotted the property.

You mean Mother Deed or Parent Deed or a Certified Copy are one and the same?
How much does it cost to get a Certified Copy from subregistar office

[chidu]

It should cost less than Rs.500, certified copy is a subregistar signed copy of the document in their storage.

For an Apartment also do we need to verify all these things ? also are there any other extra docs we need to verify for apartments ? what is an Occupancy Certificate for an Apartment.



Please advise.



thanks and Regards

Verifying these documents will make it safe. But please take legal opinion.
Occupancy certificate certifies that a structure has passed all required inspections and is ready for occupancy.
