What is a Deed of Rectification?
A Deed of Rectification (also known as a Correction Deed or Supplementary Deed) is a legal document executed between the original parties to correct typographical, descriptive, or factual errors present in a previously registered principal document, such as a Sale Deed, Gift Deed, or Lease Deed.
Under Section 26 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, if a document fails to express the real intention of the parties due to a mutual mistake or fraud, a rectification deed can be executed. Importantly, it cannot be used to alter the fundamental nature of the original transaction, change the property itself, or evade stamp duty.

Why Property Owners Trust Us
The Rectification Process
Error Analysis
We review the original registered document alongside supporting proofs to identify the precise errors that need correction.
Mutual Consent
Ensuring both original parties (e.g., buyer and seller) agree to the correction, as unilateral rectification is not legally valid.
Legal Drafting
Our lawyers draft the Supplementary Deed, explicitly referencing the original document's registration details and the specific corrections.
SRO Registration
Payment of nominal stamp duty (if applicable) and biometric registration at the Sub-Registrar Office in Pune.
We Handle the Complete Process
Registration & Stamp Duty
A Rectification Deed must be registered at the same Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) where the principal document was registered.
Stamp Duty Guidelines
In Maharashtra, if the correction does not alter the area, boundaries, or consideration value significantly, the stamp duty is typically a nominal fee (e.g., Rs. 100). If it increases the property value, differential duty may apply.
Biometric Execution
All original executing parties and two witnesses must be present at the SRO. We handle the slot booking and physical assistance to make this process swift.

FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, mutual consent is mandatory. All executing parties (e.g., both the buyer and the seller from the original document) must be present at the Sub-Registrar Office to sign and register the new deed.
No. A Rectification Deed cannot alter the basic nature of the transaction or substitute one property for an entirely different one. For such drastic changes, the original deed must be cancelled, and a fresh deed must be executed.
While it is best to rectify errors as soon as they are discovered, the Limitation Act generally provides a period of 3 years from the date the mistake becomes known to seek rectification through court if parties disagree. However, mutually agreed rectifications can be done anytime.
If a party has deceased, their legal heirs must step in to execute the Deed of Rectification on their behalf, provided they consent to the factual correction.
