Property transactions in Maharashtra are governed by strict documentation rules. Occasionally, errors in sale deeds, gift deeds, or other property documents may occur—like spelling mistakes, incorrect survey numbers, or wrong property area. To correct these mistakes legally, you need a Rectification Deed.

Here’s a complete 2025 guide on rectification deed charges, registration, stamp duty, and required documents.

What is a Rectification Deed?

A Rectification Deed is a legal instrument used to correct errors in previously registered property documents.

• It is not a new sale or transfer of property—it simply amends mistakes.
  
• Common reasons for rectification include:
  
  • Incorrect spelling of buyer/seller names
    
  • Mistakes in property survey or plot number
    
  • Wrong measurement or property area
    
  • Typographical errors in addresses
    

📌 Important: A rectification deed must be registered with the Sub-Registrar to make it legally valid.

Stamp Duty for Rectification Deed in Maharashtra (2025)

• Stamp duty for rectification deeds is generally 1% of the market value of the property.
  
• If the rectification is minor (like name spelling or measurement corrections) and no change in ownership occurs, many Sub-Registrar offices allow a nominal fee or fixed duty.
  
• Exact duty may vary depending on municipal limits (e.g., Mumbai, Thane, Pune).
  

📌 Example:
If your property is valued at ₹1 crore → Stamp Duty ≈ ₹1,00,000
For minor corrections → Some offices may allow a flat fee of ₹500–1000 (confirm with the local SRO).
