Correction of errors in Index 2 in Maharashtra

Remember: Index 2 is NOT THE BIBLE ON YOUR PROPERTY !!

Please note that a small error in the Index 2 does not invalidate or raise a question mark over the entire property or transaction. Even a mistake in the address or name of the parties does not affect the property status or the transaction in ANY MANNER !!
Incase there is a mismatch between the data in the Index 2 and the facts mentioned in the written agreement, the facts in the written agreement will take precedence.
A mere error in the Index 2 data does not in any way affect the status or validity of the transaction and such discrepencies are also accepted by the courts.
So just for a mere typographical error you don’t need any correction or rectification deed.

It contains important details like registration number, the office where it was registered, the date, time, Ready reckoner value, Details about the property, its area, address, buyer details, seller details etc.

Many a times, mistakes are made in this document while entering the data before registration or during registration (while entering data). This can be due to the error/mistake by the person entering the data in the registration office.

The most common mistake is the date of execution and date of registration…
The execution date is the date on which the document is signed by all the parties to the sale agreement/Sale deed.
The date of Registration is the date on which the parties visit the registration office and register the document, get their photographs taken and thumb imprints taken.

Index 2 explained

Often, even the people at the registration office are unaware of what is to be done once such a mistake has been detected. Even advocates are sometimes unaware of what is to be done. 

Most think that a rectification deed (new document) will have to be made specifying the mistake made in the index 2 and get it registered (just like the previous document). 

For this the parties will have to visit the registration office once again.

All that has to be done is to file a simple application with the registration office (where the document was registered) specifying the mistake made while entering data in the Index 2.

The entire process takes 4-6 months as the document is routed first to the District registrars office and then to NIC in Pune for update of records.

NOTE : This is only for correction in the Index 2 and not the agreement copy scanned into govt records. The details written in the agreement should match with what is entered in the Index 2. No changes can be made in the registered agreement except via a Rectification Deed.
