Uttar Pradesh Transfer Deed Certified Copy

A Transfer Deed is typically used for subsequent transfer of rights in a leasehold or authority-controlled property after the original lease / sub-lease deed has been executed. Instead of a fresh freehold sale, rights under the lease are being transferred, so the instrument is a Transfer Deed rather than a standard freehold sale deed.

Because authorities like NOIDA only recognise a change of allottee/lessee after receiving a certified copy of the registered transfer deed from the Sub-Registrar Office.

For you as a buyer, the certified copy proves that:

• the transfer of leasehold rights was properly registered;
• the parties, plot details and consideration match what you have been told;
• the authority can legally mutate/endorse the new name in its records.

It lets you verify:

• the exact wording of transfer – rights given, restrictions, obligations;
• whether any conditions imposed by the authority or previous deed are carried forward;
• continuity in the chain of transfers from original allotment → lease → transfer(s);
• whether there are gaps where rights were informally passed without registration (a major red flag).

No.

The original lease / sub-lease deed records the first grant of leasehold rights.

The Transfer Deed records a later transfer of those rights.

Both together form part of the title chain for leasehold properties in UP. A certified copy is simply the legally recognised copy of the registered transfer deed used for verification and authority compliance.

Certified copies of Transfer Deeds are issued by the Stamp & Registration Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, through the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) where the deed was registered, and are then used by authorities (e.g., NOIDA) and parties as proof of the registered transfer.
