What goes wrong — Punjab and Mohali specifics
A legal heir certificate is not proof of title
It establishes who the heirs are, not what each inherits. Banks accept it for pension and PF; buyers and courts do not treat it as title.
Daughters inherit equally as coparceners
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters are coparceners by birth with rights equal to sons.
The exemption is notification-based, not statutory
Punjab exempts gifts to blood relatives from stamp duty, but the exemption and its relative list have been varied by notification over time. The position at the date of registration governs, and this is the single most important thing to confirm for a Punjab gift.
GMADA allotment conditions govern most sector plots
Greater Mohali Area Development Authority plots carry conditions on construction timelines and transfer. The Authority's own record must be updated separately from revenue mutation.
Unapproved colonies along the Kharar and Zirakpur belt
Rapid growth outside GMADA sectors produced colonies without approval or with partial regularisation. Building permission and loan availability are affected in ways a sale deed does not cure.

Legal Heir Certificate FAQs — Mohali
What should I check before buying in Kharar or Zirakpur?
Colony approval status above all. Much of that belt developed outside GMADA's approved sectors, with partial or no regularisation. Construction on site is not evidence that the colony is approved, and unapproved status affects building permission and loan eligibility permanently.
Is a GMADA sector plot different from a private colony plot?
Yes. GMADA allotments carry conditions on construction timelines and transfer, and the Authority maintains its own record. Revenue mutation does not update it, so a separate transfer application is required.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Mohali sectors?
The SAS Nagar office serves the Mohali sectors, with Kharar, Derabassi, Banur, Boothgarh and Majri covering surrounding areas. Jurisdiction follows the property's location.
Does Punjab's blood-relative exemption apply in Mohali?
Mohali is in Punjab, so the state's exemption for gifts to blood relatives applies, subject to the notification in force. Note that neighbouring Chandigarh and Panchkula are separate jurisdictions with their own positions.
