Sale Deed Registry (Baye Nama) in Punjab, Done Right

No — and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. This is a managed service, not a website form: the consultation happens online, but the registry itself needs one physical visit — buyer, seller and witnesses before the Sub-Registrar, with biometric verification completed. We handle everything up to and including that visit.

Not yet. A bay nama on its own is an agreement between two people — it only becomes proof of the sale once registered before the Sub-Registrar. Since the January 2026 rule change, the land record won't recognise a sale without a registered deed (inheritance is the only exception). If you've paid an advance on an unregistered bay nama, get it registered before paying the rest — and if the seller is stalling, message us on WhatsApp before the situation hardens.

On whichever is higher. The e-stamp system takes your declared sale price and the District Collector's valuation rate for that area, and charges stamp duty on the bigger of the two. Declaring a lower price to save duty doesn't work — the DC rate catches it. The FBR has its own valuation tables too, and where those run higher than your price, the 236K and 236C advance taxes are worked out on the FBR figure.

Yes — a fard for registry (fard baraye bay), the transaction-specific fard issued for a sale. An old or general fard won't do; the Sub-Registrar works from the sale fard. If you don't have one, that's step one.

Honestly: the online filing can be done the same day your documents are ready. The physical visit depends on the Sub-Registrar's schedule — usually within days, not weeks. Your deed's official record number (the bahi number) is generally issued the same day as the signing. What stretches timelines is almost always an incomplete file, which is why we check everything beforehand.

Two workable routes: a power of attorney verified by the Sub-Registrar, or having the seller's statement recorded through the Community Welfare Attaché at the Pakistani mission — the PLRA office in London also handles e-registry with NADRA biometric. Tell us the country on WhatsApp and we'll map the exact route.

It has been mandatory for sale transactions since July 2026 in most districts — but some tehsils have started accepting the traditional fard again, so the answer genuinely depends on where your property sits. Confirm with us (or your ARC) before you start, not after you've paid challans.

Yes. Searching "registry check online Punjab" mostly returns vehicle-registration results — for property, use the Registration of Deeds (RoD) portal. Old registered deeds can be pulled by the deed's official record number (called the bahi number), the registration number, a party's CNIC or a party name, and a verified copy can be downloaded. One honest limit: it proves the sale happened then, not that the seller still owns it now. For a purchase decision, check the intiqal and current fard too — or ask us to run the full trail check first.
