What the Law Says
Property law in India is governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, the Specific Relief Act, 1963 and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).
In Delhi NCR, different areas are governed by different authorities — DDA, NDMC, MCD, Haryana RERA, UP RERA — each with distinct rules on permitted use, conversion charges and building regulations. Title to property in Delhi is particularly complex given the legacy of DDA allotments, colony regularisations, and the presence of both freehold and leasehold land.
