Information

Overview

It would be good to understand what is meant by a 'Release' and the nature of transaction covered by a Release Deed . There are many types of documents. Of late, one would frequently come across documents such as Release Deeds. This is because of the fact that the stamp duty has been considerably reduced for certain types of Release Deeds. Release Deeds are also interchangeably executed where certain types of settlements can be made. As such, it would be good to understand what is meant by a 'Release' and the nature of transaction covered by a Release Deed.

The word "Release" is basically used in the context of setting something free from restraint or a condition or a confinement. It is also used in the sense that the transaction is in the nature of giving up a claim or right or title by one or more persons in favour of another or others. It can amount to giving up or abandoning a claim or a right to the person against whom the claim or right exists or can be enforced or can be exercised.

This can be in respect of properties as well. Release itself can be of different modes. It could be a renouncement of a claim by a person in favour of another in respect of a property. This is a simple transaction. There could be a release of a benami right by one person in favour of another. Several rules relating to benami holdings will apply and this is a totally different type of transaction. Further, depending on the degree of relationship between the parties and the location of the property, stamp duty and registration charges may vary.

There can also be a release of right in favour of one or more co-owners. The stamp duty and registration charges will differ on the basis of whether the parties are members of a family or otherwise. Further, within these types of release, the location of the property is also important and may affect the stamp duty and registration charges. The world "Family" for the purposes of stamp duty and registration charges would cover father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter and grandchild.

In certain cases, it can include adopted father or mother and adopted son or daughter as well. A Release is different from other documents such as Receipt, which merely evidences payment. A Release, on the other hand, signifies the satisfaction or termination of a condition or a right. An Agreement to release in future is also valid as any other contract, if it otherwise satisfies legal requirements. Such an agreement does not operate immediately, but will entail a further document such as Release Deed and can also be made enforceable. A Release can be made for consideration, that is, "payment" or a "price". It can also be made without receiving any payment or consideration. The stamp duty and registration charges may differ based on whether price or consideration is received or the Deed is executed without receiving any payment or consideration.
Releasor & Releasee

The person who executes or makes the Release Deed is known as "Releasor" and the person in whose favour it is executed is known as "Releasee". These terminologies can be changed and other substitutes are also available. If relating to an immovable property, it has to be properly stamped and registered. There are certain other types of documents such as disclaimers, deeds of abandonment and deeds of relinquishment which may not require registration and the whole of the document has to be read and construed for proper meaning and intent and decided as to what is the stamp duty that is leviable and whether the document requires to be registered or otherwise. These are general guidelines and a Release Deed is a very technical document. It is best to get professional advice while deciding on options of release and the type of deed to be made.

Subject :  Property Fraud
Question :  I purchased 3 non-NA plots from a seller on the condition that he will NA those plots in next 3 months. After 3 months, he started making reasons that the land has some problems. He asked us to wait for some time. Now Its been 7 years and he is giving me the same reason. I requested him to at least pay the money back but he is unnecessarily delaying that for the past 1 year. The seller is neither interested in giving me the plots nor the money back. How can I file a case against that fraudulent seller? Or what could be the best way to recover my money?

Answer by rozario john :  file a police complaint for fraud, cheating at the earliest, also if you know other plot buyers, contact them and make them also file complaints against the person
