This query is : Resolved
I have purchased property by means of sale deed from my 13 family members, The 7/12 extract is transferred in my name, The city survey record is also transferred in my name. Now when I have made application for property tax transfer to the municipal council the property tax officer is asking for legal heir document approved by court. The property I had purchased was in name of my four uncles out of which three are dead. I had got all of the legal heirs available to sign the sale deed in front of the registrar and the legal heir document in front of the district magistrate. The Transfer of 7/12 extract was also signed by all the legal heirs in front of the circle officer. Similar procedure was adopted for city survey record transfer. I am stuck in property tax transfer. Please guide

The property tax officer, prima facie, is unreasonable.
You may seek information under RTI as to why he is insisting on the heirship document as approved by court.

Once the property has been transferred on your name, including the revenue records are on your name, there is no need for the Municipal officer to demand the legal heirship certificate, you may ask him to give the same in writing s that you can either issue him a legal notice or pursue the matter further through legal process.
