This office handles 10 of the 35 steps in the register. What else it does, and what it charges.
What to have with you
The source names 5 things the office asks for. Take them all in one go and the visit is usually one visit.
- Identification evidence for the parties (executant, claimant and the witnesses / identifiers)
- Input Sheet with party details and a short description of the document
- Form No. 1 with property particulars and valuation details
- PAN numbers of buyer and seller where the consideration or the market value exceeds Rs. 10 lakh; where a PAN is not available, Form 60
- Certified copy of the power of attorney where the transaction is done through a power of attorney
Quoted from the prerequisite list in the register. Where the source names a detail rather than a document, such as a survey number, it is listed as the source words it.
The form you fill in
Input Sheet (party particulars and a short description of the document) and Form No. 1 (property particulars / market value particulars) - both published under the FAQ menu at garvi.gujarat.gov.in
What it costs
Quoted from the government source, in its own words:
Stamp duty per GJ-REG-02 plus registration fee per GJ-REG-03. If registration is done at a private residence, an ADDITIONAL fee applies: Ahmedabad Rs. 200; all district headquarters Rs. 200; all other places Rs. 100; in jail Rs. 100.
No part of this figure has been rounded, converted or updated by us. If the department has revised it since 4 August 2026, the correction address is in the footer. Every published fee in the register sits on one page.
How long it takes
Quoted from the source, in its own words:
The document may be presented within FOUR MONTHS from the date the document was executed. A copy of a court order or decree may be presented within FOUR MONTHS from the date it was passed. A will may be presented at any time, with no time limit.
The clock runs against you. Four months from the day the deed was signed to present it. That is our reading of the wording printed above, which is why the wording is printed above.
The nine stated timings in the register are compared on one page.
What to watch out for
The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.
A document may be presented by the executant, a person claiming a right under it, their representative, or an agent authorised by a power of attorney. Registration at a private residence is available only to a sick person who produces a medical certificate, a person in jail, a person exempted by a court from attending public places, or a woman exempted by custom from attending public places. Documents not relating to immovable property may be presented at any Sub-Registrar office in the state.
