land act

We paid around 50k INR in 1990 for 1acre land in Vellore. Took a sign from owner of the land and called them for a registration recently. They are demanding more money now. Earlier due to trust issues we didn't register land but now we want to do it without paying Additional amount. any suggestions

Ji, took a sign from the land owner in the year 1990, is it registered? I think this was not registered. I opine he is a good seller. after 29 years he is ready to register you by demanding some extra amount. so it is better to settle the issue amicably by taking help of elders and well wishers. consult a local lawyer having knowledge in property matters.

As it is presumed that land is in your possession with mutation in municipal records, issue a notice for specific performance and I believe that this will certainly bring the seller to fall in line or his reply may pave your way to get adverse possession ownership through declaration by proper authorities.

Even when seller fails to register it in your name, you can enter into settlement deed or compromise deed or gift deed and can generate a registered document with such title. Contact any local advocate.
