What can the Index II be used for? Where is the Index 2 used?

The Index II and its certified copies serve as Evidence of Registration of the Document. Without disclosing any clauses or conditions in the document, the Index 2 summarizes the transaction and details of property mentioned in the Registered Document.

The Index 2 is used as proof to show transfer deed execution or to confirm the legitimacy of the execution of a registered document.

It is used at the time of Mortgage / Loan / Sale / Transfer etc.  to show the completion of the Transfer of Immovable Property as per the Transfer of Property Act.

The Registration of a Document or the Index II does not show the validity of the contents of the document or the legitimacy of the truth of the facts stated in it. It is merely a proof that such a document was presented for registration and was registered.

Is it safe to give my property agent or Society office a copy of the Index II document?

Yes it is quite safe to give a copy of the Index II document as it is a public document and can be obtained by any person. It contains a summary of the transaction and does not contain any confidential information or privileged data.
