My mother purchased a property out of her earnings in 1962 in Coimbatore. Under the property description column of the sale deed the town survey number has been mentioned as 496. In the parent documents(1957 & 1929) handed over to my mother the town survey number is mentioned as 496 only. However, as per the topo sketch of the town survey which was carried out in 1923 and again resurveyed in 1991 the town survey number is indicated as 498. Also the corporation records indicate the town survey number of my mother's property as 498.
In March 1999 my mother settled a portion of the above property to my sister and in August 1999 settled the remaining portion of the party in my name. While doing so the town survey number was indicated in the settlement deed as 498 based on the corporation records. My mother expired in 2009. Now when I wanted to offer the subject property as collateral security for obtaining an education loan for my son's higher studies, the bank's legal cell refused to give a legal opinion.
Under these circumstances I would need your advice regarding the legal validy of the document posessed by me and how to regularise the change of town survey number.
