How to Get Duplicate Copies of Lost Property Documents in India: Sale Deed, Police Complaint, Newspaper Notice and Bank Requirements India | October 26, 2026 Imagine that a homeowner in Hyderabad wants to sell a flat. The property was purchased many years ago, and the owner remembers keeping the original registered sale deed in a file. But the file cannot be found. Perhaps the documents were misplaced during a house move, damaged in flooding, or left with a relative.

After comparing properties and converting Indian rupees into UAE dirhams, the buyer finds an apartment advertised for roughly AED 580,000. The advertised price appears to fit the budget. But then the agent mentions a Dubai Land Department fee. There is also a trustee-office charge, agency commission, VAT on certain services, a title-deed fee and possibly a developer's no-objection certificate. If the purchase involves a mortgage, another set of charges can apply. Suddenly, a property priced at ₹1.5 crore may require more than ₹1.6 crore of available funds.

But the final buyer-paid amoun...
