Registry is the document which provides the proof of sale i.e. the transfer of ownership from one person to another. The sale deed is registered, signed and stamped by the sub-registrar and then it can be called a registry. The Registry has the details of the buyer and seller and of the property being sold. In short… Registry is a “registered sale deed”.How is the registry obtained?
For the process of getting a Registry, you will have to pay the stamp duty, registration fee, TIP (Transfer of Immovable Property Tax), and/or any other applicable taxes. Relevant documents like original ownership documents, and CNIC of the buyer and the seller are also needed. Two witnesses will also be present to complete the process.Who issues the registry?
Sub-Registrar issues the registry. You can find details of the Sub-Registrar offices for Punjab from the Punjab government’s website or the Punjab Zameen website.Inteqal (Mutation)
Through Inteqal or Mutation, the ownership of a property is changed in the revenue records. For a Mutation to happen, a sale is not necessary. It can be done in case of gift, inheritance or any other way through which property ownership has been transferred. In short… Inteqal is “ownership change in revenue records”. What is the process of inteqal/mutation? For Mutation, the buyer, seller and two witnesses need to be present. The fee for the mutation process has to be paid and relevant documents need to be presented, for example, Registry in case of sale or death certificate, and succession certificate in case of inheritance. The process takes some days. After the process is completed, a Mutation Certificate is issued. The process of mutation according to PLRA (Punjab Land Record Authority) website is as follows: 1. Nadra Verification 2. Identification of Land and Rights Holder in the Records 3. Deposit Fee 4. Field Verification 5. Send Mutation to ADLR/RO (Assistant Director Land Record/Revenue Officer) 6. Verification of Parties and Witnesses 7. Approval or Rejection

In computerized areas, the Mutation is done through Arazi Record Centre by Service Centre Officials (SCO) and Assistant Director Land Record (ADLR).
