What is the leasehold to freehold policy? What does conversion into freehold mean?
Freehold is the transfer of ownership of a property from the Government to a person, carried out under the policy of the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. Authorities such as DDA and L&DO used to allot properties on a leasehold basis: ownership stayed with the authority and the allottee was, in effect, a tenant. Following the Notification / Order dated 14.02.1992, the Government began transferring full ownership to allottees and purchasers. This is called conversion from leasehold to freehold.
What is the procedure for freehold conversion, and who is the concerned authority?
The freehold application, on the prescribed form with the relevant documents, is submitted to the concerned lessor authority (DDA, L&DO or NDMC). After scrutinising the documents, the authority issues the Conveyance Deed, which is the title document. The process involves three departments: the lessor authority (which issues the Conveyance Deed), the Collector of Stamps (which collects the stamp duty) and the Sub-Registrar (where the deed is finally registered).
Are there charges for conversion? How much?
Yes. Conversion charges vary by the type of property, its category and its locality, and are revised from time to time as per Government policy. We work out the applicable charges for your property before filing.
Can a GPA or Agreement to Sell holder convert a DDA property to freehold?
In many cases, yes. Conversion schemes have allowed purchasers holding the property through a chain of GPA, Agreement to Sell, Will and receipt to apply, provided the full chain is produced. Each link has to be in order, so this is where a document review before filing saves months.
What is mutation of property? Is it different from transfer?
In common usage both terms mean a change of ownership. More precisely, mutation is the change of ownership after the owner's death, while transfer happens during the owner's lifetime.
