Deed of Re-constitution
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued the Deed of Re-constitution as an official guidance template for recording continuous and adjacent properties in Schedules A, B and C as one combined property in Schedule D. The executants use the deed to affirm their ownership, possession and enjoyment of the combined property and its treatment as one single integral unit.
What the document does
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Deed of Re-constitution provides a form for combining the description of continuous and adjacent properties. Separate properties are entered in Schedules A, B and C, while the combined site is identified and described as one unit in Schedule D.
The deed states that the executants are the absolute owners of the vacant land and that the properties were purchased through a registered sale deed. It records that, following the purchase and proposed construction on the total site, the properties have been reconstituted, identified and treated as one single unit.
Who may be affected
The Deed of Re-constitution is relevant to owners who hold adjoining or continuous plots and want them recorded together as a combined site. It may also be relevant to buyers and property professionals checking how individual plots relate to the combined Schedule D property.
The template provides spaces for three executants. Each executant must provide personal and residential details, and the deed must be signed in the presence of witnesses.
Key information required
The Deed of Re-constitution asks for:
- The names, ages, parent or spouse details, and addresses of the executants.
