Sale Agreement (Agreement to Sell)

Also called: Kraya Karar, Agreement to Sell

A pre-sale contract — does not transfer ownership; only commits parties to a future sale.


What it is

Records the agreed terms — price, advance, completion timeline — before the registered sale deed. The Suraj Lamp ruling is explicit that this does not transfer title.

Who issues it

Executed between seller and buyer; may be notarised; sometimes registered.

Where to obtain

Held by both parties.

Validity

Until the sale deed is executed and registered (or the agreed period lapses).

What to check

  • Agreed consideration and advance paid
  • Completion period
  • Default and forfeiture terms
  • Whether the agreement is registered or only notarised

Common red flags on a Sale Agreement (Agreement to Sell)

  • Sale agreement being treated as a transfer instrument (Suraj Lamp violation)
  • Advance paid without escrow protection
  • Completion period ambiguous or missing
