Before explaining the process and documents requirement, let’s have a look on what is a Registry or Sale Deed?
A Sale Deed is a title document / proof of ownership. Sale Deed is printed on Stamp Papers, in which detail of property being sold is mentioned. Besides, name of seller, purchaser, witnesses are also mentioned. Its a mandatory requirement of law to get a Sale Deed registered in the office of Sub Registrar.

Mutation after Registry in Punjab
If Mouza of the property mentioned in the Sale Deed is computerized, you need not to go to the Land Record Centre/ Arazi Record Centre for entry/ sanctioning of mutation on the basis of Registry. In such case, the staff of office of Sub Registrar sends the relevant document to concerned Arazi Record Centre for entry of mutation and its sanctioning by Assistant Director Land Record (ADLR). Hence mutation after registry is entered/sanctioned automatically.
(However, It is recommended to visit concerned Arazi Record
Centre to know the update of mutation on the basis of registry to avoid problems
in future)
If Mouza of the property mentioned in the sale deed is not computerized, and its record is still being maintained by Patwari Halqa, then you must visit the Patwari concerned and request him to enter the mutation and get it sanctioned by Revenue Officer / Tehsildar concerned. You should keep your self in touch with the Patwari or other revenue staff till sanctioning of mutation by Revenue Officer/ Tehsildar.
In this way, process of registration of deeds is done.
