Latter on when the area surveyed by govt. authorities shows area more than in the revenue records. my quearries 1) Is it necessary to register the correction deed ? as boundaries are well defind . 2) If it is a correction deed or supplimetary deed ? 3) The stamp duty for it ? 3) The owner has given letter to the effect that he has sold the entire plot shown by defind boundaries.

Dear Kvathalye,

Law is well settled that if a dispute arises, boundaries prevail over extent.

As ur query discloses that ur seller stated that he sold the entire land covered by the defined boundaries. So, you need not worry even if the actual extent differ from the sale deed.

Any how, to avoid future complications, if ur seller co-operates, you can ask him to execute a rectification deed to the said effect. The said deed, on registration will become supplemental to the original sale deed.

Stamp duty varies from state to state. You can enquire in the concerned Sub-regisrar's office.
