► I purchase open plot in 2013 and having registered sale deed. Now developer changed layout and shifted my open plot by 1.26 mtr. From one side in new layout and this revised layout is not approved by sanction authority. Developer want to do a rectification deed for plot shifting by 1.26 mtr. against already registered sale deed.. Is this legal and will it not generate any trouble for me in future during its resale?

Dear Client, 

A rectification deed is generally intended to correct clerical, typographical, or minor errors in an existing document and should not ordinarily be used to substantially alter the identity, location, or boundaries of the property conveyed. If the developer has changed the layout and shifted your plot by 1.26 metres based on a revised layout that has not yet been approved by the competent authority, you should proceed with extreme caution. Undertaking the rectification deed in such a case would make things difficult in the future whenever there is a need to sell the property, undertake mutation or even seek financial assistance or confirm title, especially when the rectified design is not approved in future. Prior to undertaking the rectification deed, it would be advisable that you get the copies of the original plan, the revised plan, and the authority's approval for the same from a lawyer. 

I hope this helps and if you have any further issues do not hesitate to contact us.
