The chain of title traces the historical transfer of ownership from the current owner back to the original owner. Keeping rigorous and accurate title records is important in order to establish ownership of property or an asset.

A title deed is a formal document defining how the property is inherited, owned, transferred or allotted by an authority. It includes information about how much land a person owns or the rights of a person over land. The land ownership rights of one person are transferred to another person through title deeds.

There are no endorsements, stamps or seals on a Plain Copy. A Certified Copy typically includes an additional page with a certification stamp and signature stating that the document(s) are true and complete copies as filed for record in that office.

Plain copies are basically a 'photo copy' of the originally filed document. A certified copy is a copy that is certified to be true and exact by either a certification page or a rubber stamp that includes the official seal or signature of the filing office authority.

The Supreme Court recently made it clear that certified copy of an original sale deed is admissible in evidence in a trial. This is as per Sections 65, 74, 77 read with Section 79 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872 and Section 57(5) of the Registration Act.

Your sale deed is a title deed because it acts as a statement of your ownership over an asset. The sale deed becomes a title deed as soon as it is registered, as it serves as proof that you now own a specific property.
