Deed of Cancellation of Sale
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department issued the Deed of Cancellation of Sale as an official guidance template for a vendor and purchaser to cancel a previously registered sale deed. The parties state that the sale was not brought into effect because of unavoidable circumstances, revoke it with immediate effect and declare that the cancellation deed itself does not transfer property.
What the document does
The Tamil Nadu Registration Department's Deed of Cancellation of Sale provides a format for cancelling a registered sale deed. It records the agreement of the original vendor and purchaser that the sale deed was not brought into effect because of unavoidable circumstances.
The form states that the identified sale deed is revoked and cancelled with immediate effect and will have no force. It also includes a declaration by both parties that the cancellation deed does not itself effect any transfer.
Who it affects
The Deed of Cancellation of Sale is intended for the vendor and purchaser named in the original sale deed. The definitions of vendor and purchaser also include their heirs, legal representatives, executors, administrators and assigns.
A buyer, owner or professional reviewing the form should check that it correctly identifies:
- The vendor and purchaser, including their parentage, age and address.
- Identification numbers and mobile numbers for both parties.
- The date of the original sale deed.
- The Book I document number and year.
- The relevant Sub Registrar office.
- The place and date where the cancellation deed is executed.
Key statements in the form
The Deed of Cancellation of Sale requires the following statements:
- The vendor and purchaser previously executed a sale deed.
- The sale deed was registered in Book I at a specified Sub Registrar office.
- Unavoidable circumstances prevented the sale deed from being brought into effect.
- The vendor and purchaser have decided to cancel the sale deed.
- No transfer is effected by the cancellation deed.
- The identified sale deed is revoked and cancelled immediately.
The supplied page does not state any registration fee, stamp duty, supporting document requirement or procedure for presenting the deed to the Sub Registrar.
Drafting issue to check
The closing sentence refers to a "Deed of Cancellation of General Power of Attorney" and says that the "principal" has signed. These terms do not match the rest of the form, which concerns cancellation of a sale by a vendor and purchaser. Anyone using the template should notice this inconsistency before execution.
