What a rectification deed can and cannot do

A rectification deed corrects a genuine error in an already-registered document: a misspelt name, a wrong survey or city survey number, an area stated incorrectly, a boundary described wrongly, a missing party's particulars. It records that the parties agree the original document said something other than what they intended, and states the correct position.

It cannot be used to change the bargain.

A rectification corrects a mistake in recording. It is not a route to alter the consideration, add property that was never part of the transaction, or change who takes what. Where the substance is being changed, that is a fresh transaction with its own stamp and registration consequences — and dressing it up as a rectification is a problem rather than a solution.

All the original parties must sign

This is the practical difficulty. A rectification deed requires the parties to the original document, and where one has died, moved abroad or simply become uncooperative, it becomes considerably harder. Where a party has died, their heirs may need to be joined. Where agreement is impossible, the route is an application to the court.

That is a strong argument for checking a registered document carefully on the day you receive it, rather than filing it away for fifteen years.

After rectification

The correction must be carried into the revenue record, or the record continues to carry the error the deed has just fixed.

On stamp duty.

We do not publish duty figures on this website. The Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958 was amended in 2025 and several articles were restructured; a rate printed on a web page goes stale and costs somebody money. As a Government authorised e-Stamping centre we confirm the duty currently prescribed for your specific document and issue the e-stamp against it, at face value. The notarial fee is separate and capped by law — ₹35 to attest execution, ₹35 to administer an oath or take an affidavit, under Rule 10(1) of the Notaries Rules, 1956. The full fee table →

Drafted here, in Gujarati or English

Drafted by an advocate of 35+ years rather than filled into a downloaded template, e-stamped at a Government authorised centre, and notarised in the same visit. If the parties read Gujarati, the document is drafted in Gujarati — not translated out of an English form, because legal Gujarati has its own settled vocabulary and a literal translation frequently means something looser.

Common questions

Can any error be corrected by a rectification deed?

Genuine recording errors, yes — names, survey numbers, area, boundaries. What cannot be done is changing the substance of the transaction. A change to consideration or to what property is included is a fresh transaction, not a rectification.

One of the original parties has died. Can we still rectify?

It becomes harder. The deceased party's heirs may need to be joined, which means establishing who they are. Bring the death certificate and whatever heirship documentation exists, and we will set out the route.

The error is only in the revenue record, not the deed. What then?

That is a different application — a correction in the revenue or city survey record rather than a rectification deed. Supporting affidavits are usually needed. Bring the deed and the record and we will tell you which route applies.
