Legal Framework
An Agreement to Sale creates legally enforceable rights — including the right to compel the sale through specific performance if the seller defaults.
Specific Relief Act, 1963 — Section 10
Allows a buyer to sue for specific performance — compelling the seller to complete the sale — if the seller defaults.
RERA, 2016
For registered projects, the Agreement to Sale must be in the RERA-prescribed format and must be registered before any advance beyond 10% is collected.
Registration Act, 1908
While not compulsory, registering the Agreement to Sale provides notice to third parties and significantly strengthens the buyer's legal position.
