The Kolkata property legal guide

Common property legal matters in Kolkata

Resale flats and houses. Ask an adviser to review the seller’s registered deed, earlier transfers, lender charges, sanctioned plan and applicable completion or occupancy records. Older family property may also involve inheritance, co-owner consent and continuity of title.

New and under-construction projects. Discuss the promoter’s land title and development rights, approvals, project phase, agreement terms and possession commitments. Match the project and phase to current regulatory disclosures.

Plots, inherited property and NRI ownership. Plot transactions may need checks on boundaries, access, land use and conversion where applicable. Inherited or overseas-owned property can involve co-owners, succession records and a properly scoped power of attorney.

Indicative · Oct 2026: West Bengal stamp duty and registration

For an ordinary sale deed, this indicative schedule distinguishes urban and rural areas. Confirm the applicable jurisdiction, instrument, valuation and current challan with the West Bengal registration department before paying.

AreaDuty valuationIndicative duty
UrbanUp to ₹1 crore6%
UrbanAbove ₹1 crore7%
RuralUp to ₹1 crore5%
RuralAbove ₹1 crore6%

Indicative registration fee: 1%, with a ₹50 minimum. The higher-value duty rate applies to the whole valuation, not just the amount above the threshold. No gender concession or temporary rebate is assumed. Government charges are separate from advocate fees and other transaction expenses.

Duty planning uses the higher of the agreement price and applicable assessed value. Other instruments, such as a gift or power of attorney, can have different schedules; do not apply this sale-deed table to them.

How to choose a property lawyer in Kolkata

Describe your issue first: a title review, deed drafting, a mutation application and a disputed inheritance are not interchangeable assignments. Ask about relevant experience with the property type, locality and authorities involved. Verify professional credentials directly and establish whether there is any conflict of interest.

Agree the work in writing, including the papers to be reviewed, searches, written advice, visits or representation. Clarify the professional fee, taxes, external search charges and other expenses. Ask how you will receive updates and what remains outside the engagement.

Questions to ask before hiring

  • Have you handled this type of property matter, and who will review my documents?
  • What records do you need, what searches will you carry out, and what will I receive in writing?
  • Does the fee include drafting, registration support, visits or representation? What costs are additional?
  • Which missing papers or unresolved issues should stop me from making the next payment?
  • How will we communicate, and what must I do about any approaching notice or transaction date?

Do not treat the seller’s assurance, a bank’s loan sanction or a completed checklist as a substitute for independent advice.

A clearer file. A better first conversation.

Use these free tools to organise what you know and identify what still needs a lawyer’s attention. A checklist is not legal clearance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a property lawyer in Kolkata charge?

Fees depend on the work, documents, searches and representation involved. Ask for a written scope and fee basis, including taxes and third-party expenses. Government registration charges are separate.

Do I need a lawyer before paying a booking amount?

An early review can help identify what to ask for before you commit. Have the proposed terms, refund conditions and available title and approval records reviewed. The right next step depends on the facts of the deal.

Is KMC mutation proof of ownership?

No. Municipal mutation updates assessment or tax records; it does not establish title. Land-record mutation is a separate process. Ask an adviser to reconcile the applicable entries with registered ownership documents.

What is a khatian or record of rights?

It is a land-record entry relevant to the property’s revenue record. Its applicability and contents need to be checked against the land, registered deeds and other evidence. Do not rely on an entry alone as proof of clear title.

Where should I check a Kolkata project’s RERA details?

Use the official West Bengal RERA portal to match the promoter, project phase and current disclosures. Older HIRA references need their current regulatory status checked. A number alone is not legal clearance.

Does a bank-approved property need an independent title review?

A lender’s review supports its lending decision. Your own adviser can address purchase terms, missing records and risks beyond the bank’s review. Ask what was checked rather than relying on an approval label.

Can an overseas owner use a power of attorney?

A lawyer should assess the intended work, scope of authority, execution location and applicable attestation, stamping and registration requirements. Do not assume a general format is adequate for a specific sale or dispute.

What if the original deed is missing?

Ask the sub-registrar about certified copies and seek advice on the loss, local process and possible claims. A copy alone does not settle missing-original risks or guarantee acceptance by a lender.

Are these advisers ranked or verified by PropyMart?

No. These are directory entries sourced from advisers’ own published websites, not a ranking or verification. Confirm credentials, relevant experience, availability and scope directly.

What happens when I enquire through PropyMart?

The PropyMart team calls you back, understands your matter and suggests the right adviser for your matter. Searching and contacting advisers is free, and special fees apply when you come through PropyMart. Confirm the applicable terms before engaging anyone.
