Buying a flat in Guwahati? Congratulations! But your homeownership journey doesn’t end at possession. One of the most critical legal steps is registering your flat. Without registration, you’re not the legal owner — even if you’ve paid in full.
This guide covers the complete flat registration process in Guwahati (updated for 2025), including charges, documents, and expert tips — so you don’t miss a thing.
What Is Flat Registration and Why Is It Important?
Flat registration is the legal process of transferring the property title to your name. In Assam, registration is done under The Registration Act, 1908, and enforced by the Office of the Sub-Registrar.
Benefits:
Makes you the legal owner
Required for home loan processing
Protects from future ownership disputes
Step-by-Step Process to Register a Flat in Guwahati
✅ Step 1: Collect Required Documents
You’ll need these documents (in original and photocopy):
Sale Deed (drafted by builder or lawyer)

✅ Step 2: Pay Stamp Duty and Registration Charges
Stamp Duty in Assam (2025):
8.25% for men
6.25% for women
5% additional registration charge
💡 Example: For a ₹50 Lakh flat, expect ~₹6–7L in registration charges.
✅ Step 3: Visit the Registrar Office
Visit the Sub-Registrar Office near your project with:
Printed Sale Deed
ID proofs
2 witnesses
You’ll sign in front of the Registrar → Biometric → Payment confirmation → Final deed is issued.
✅ Step 4: Receive Your Registered Sale Deed
This is your legal proof of ownership. You’ll also get:
Encumbrance Certificate (no legal dues)
Mutation papers (to update records with GMC)
Keep it safe — you’ll need it for resale or loan refinancing.
