A property purchase involves documents from three separate tracks — the buyer's own KYC and financial paperwork, the property's title and approval documents, and the registration process itself. This guide lists all three so nothing is missed at the last stage.

What the data says
Buyer-side documents include PAN, Aadhaar, income proof, bank statements and, if financing, the loan sanction letter — most lenders require the last three months of salary slips or ITRs for the past two to three years.
Property-side documents include the mother deed or original sale deed chain, encumbrance certificate, approved building plan, RERA registration certificate and, for resale, past property tax receipts.
For under-construction property, the builder-buyer agreement, payment schedule, RERA project registration and occupancy certificate timeline should all be collected and retained through possession.
At registration, the stamp duty payment receipt, identity proof of both parties, photographs and, where applicable, the loan agreement copy are needed at the sub-registrar office.
How EstateVeda executes this
Providing a personalised document checklist based on whether the purchase is primary, resale or financed.
Coordinating collection of property-side documents directly from the developer or seller.
Reviewing all documents for completeness and consistency before submission to the lender or sub-registrar.
Maintaining a consolidated, indexed file for the buyer post-transaction.
Risks we underwrite against
Missing a single document late in the process, delaying loan disbursal or registration by weeks.
Accepting photocopies where originals or certified copies are legally required at registration.
EstateVeda verdict
Start assembling both buyer-side and property-side documents in parallel from day one — most delays come from documents collected too late, not documents that do not exist.
