🗣️ Simple Explanation

This section explains what a sale is: it's when ownership of something is transferred for money. If you're selling a house worth more than 100 rupees, you need a registered document. For smaller properties, you can either register or just hand over the property.

💡 Real Life Example

A sells his car to B for 50,000 rupees. This is a sale. If A sells his house (worth more than 100 rupees) to B, they need to register the sale deed.

🛡️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
  • You have the right to receive the property if you've paid for it.
  • You can't claim ownership without paying the agreed price.
  • For high-value properties, the sale must be registered.
