Buying a house is every person's dream. People buy a small home by saving years of earnings. One has to go through a whole process to buy a house. Which also includes many important documents. Many people believe that as soon as the registry is done, they get the ownership of the property. But does the house really become yours just by the registry. So let us tell you that recently the Supreme Court has given an important decision regarding this. According to this decision of the Supreme Court, your ownership of a property will not be determined by just the registry. If the first purchase of a property is done under an unregistered sale agreement, then the subsequent registered deals made on it will not be considered legal ownership. In simple words, even if you have got the property registered, you will not be called its owner on this basis alone. To prove that property as yours, you should also have other necessary documents and solid evidence. To prove your ownership on any property, you must have documents like sale deed, title deed, encumbrance certificate, mutation certificate, property tax receipts, possession letter, allotment letter, succession certificate. However, this does not mean that the registry becomes an unnecessary document. The registry proves that the property transaction has been done officially. If there is any legal dispute later, then this document works in your favor. Apart from this, if someone makes a fake claim on your property in future, then the registry proves helpful for you in that situation too. But ownership cannot be proved only on this basis. You should also have the rest of the necessary documents. So always keep this in mind.
