Urgent - Land sale dispute- Received ₹5 lakh token money for the land sale; no agreement was signed, but I am very doubtful about the his documentation process for the registration. I don't trust him and don't want to sell to him anymore. What are my options?

​

I’m in Madhya Pradesh, India, and need advice regarding a land sale.

About two months ago, I verbally agreed to sell my land to a person and received ₹5 lakh as token money through bank transfer. No agreement to sell/kararnama was signed or registered.

The buyer was repeatedly doubtful about doing the paperwork himself. He asked for my Aadhaar, PAN, Aadhaar-linked mobile number, and asked me for an OTP for slot booking at the registrar's office. He appears to have done the sale-deed/document-upload process himself without my physical presence.

He has not paid me the remaining full sale consideration and is asking me to come to the registrar's office, complete biometric/KYC, and execute the sale deed. Not sure if he will do that at that time or make excuses to pay after registry. As far as I know, he is taking a bank loan for buying the land.

I have now changed my mind and do not want to sell the land. I am willing to return the ₹5 lakh bayana.

My questions are:

  1. If I return the ₹5 lakh, can the buyer file a police complaint/case against me?

  2. Can the buyer force me to sell the land through a civil court?

  3. Does the fact that there is no signed agreement/kararnama make a significant difference?

  4. What should I do now to protect myself and the land?

I am not looking to cheat the buyer and am prepared to return the money. I just don't want to proceed with the sale anymore.

Any advice from lawyers or people who have dealt with a similar situation would be appreciated.

What clauses should I add to the Sale Deed to protect myself as the seller?

​

I’m selling a piece of land in India and the registry is happening this week. This is my first major property sale, so I want to make sure the Sale Deed has proper clauses protecting me from future disputes/liabilities.

For people who have experience with property transactions or lawyers:

1) What clauses/wordings should a seller specifically make sure are included in the Sale Deed?**

2 ) Are there any clauses sellers commonly overlook?**

3 ) Is there anything I should specifically verify in the final Sale Deed before signing at the Sub-Registrar office?**

If anyone has a good sample Sale Deed for sale of land/property in India, preferably one that is reasonably seller-protective, could you please share it or point me to one?

Thanks!

Selling agricultural land in MP — what should I be careful about at the registry?

I’m selling agricultural land in Madhya Pradesh next week, with the payment being made by bank transfer.

As the seller, I’ve been told that at the Sub-Registrar office I mainly need to verify/sign a few documents and complete the biometric process.

This is my first time selling land, so I’m a little worried about fraud or something being written in the documents that I might not notice.

What should I specifically be careful about as a seller?

  • What should I verify in the sale deed before signing?
  • Are there any clauses that sellers commonly overlook?
  • What documents/records should I keep after registration?
  • Is there anything specific to agricultural land in Madhya Pradesh that I should check?
  • What happens afterwards with mutation/dakhil-kharij?

Would really appreciate advice from people who have actually sold land/property in India, especially in MP.
