• significance and necessity of finding lost
  property paperwork for anyone who owns a home or
  is considering selling real estate.
• Owning real estate means you know the need for
  the appropriate paperwork. These records serve
  as ownership proof and must be presented if you
  want to sell or otherwise use the property.
• Procedure to find Property Documents when you
  lose them
• Submit an FIR
• When you realise you've lost your property
  documents, head to the closest police station
  and submit an FIR (First Information Report).
  The FIR must contain detailed information,
  including the incident's exact circumstances,
  theft, loss, or relocation. It must also specify
  where the incident occurred. They must be given a
  copy of the complaint after it is filed. Even if
  there is a mortgage on the property and the bank
  loses the paperwork, the owner is still required
  to submit an FIR. The owner needs to create a
  copy of the FIR and store it for later use.
• Advertisements in the Newspaper
• You need to publish a property document loss ad
  in the newspaper after filing the FIR. It must
  be printed in both a local newspaper and an
  English newspaper. If they are found, a
  notification describing the property, the
  missing property paper, and how to get in touch
  should be posted. You then have to wait 15 days
  to see if anyone discovers and returns the
  missing property paper to their rightful owner.

  missing property's original paperwork. This will
  aid in spreading knowledge of the theft so that
  members of the public can assist in returning the
  papers to their rightful owners because the
  property document missing advertisement in a
  newspaper will include all necessary details
  about the property.
• Within 15 days of the notice's publication, the
  buyer may summon any property claims through
  this procedure. Another essential document that
  owners and buyers need from a housing society is
  the No Objection Certificate (NOC), which all
  lenders require.
• Initiate a Duplicate Share Certificate Request
• To get a duplicate share certificate if your
  property is a housing society member, contact
  the Resident Welfare Association (RAW). The RWA
  will require you to fill out an application and
  provide them with the FIR and newspaper notice.
  The RWA will call a meeting and review the
  records you supplied as loss proof afterward. If
  your application is approved, the housing
  society will charge you a fee and provide you
  with a share certificate. Furthermore, ask them
  for a
• Non-Objection Certificate (NOC), which is
  necessary for subsequent transactions.
• Register with a Notary Public
• The next step is to draught an undertaking on
  stamp paper regarding the loss of the property
  papers, together with the text of the newspaper
  ad and the police complaint number.
• The undertakings must include all pertinent
  information about the property printed in the
  newspaper advertisement and the police complaint
  number. The notice must also expressly say that
  every aspect included in the endeavour shall be
  recognised as valid. Your

  the required paperwork has been submitted,
  examined, and approved by the notary, who will
  certify it.

  complaint, the advertising text, the share
  certificate, and the undertaking that has been
  notarized there. The costs must be paid, after
  which you will get a duplicate copy of the
  selling deed.

  sale deed. A duplicate purchase charge must be
  paid in person at the registrar's office.
