Hi Experts,

I am interested in buying a property but the seller has lost the orignal posession letter (He has the photocopy ). The convence deed , builder buyer agreement and the orignal allotment letters are present .

Can I buy the property without posession letter (orignal) .

Will I be able to resale it ? Please guide

What other documents are available with the vendor (seller) ?
However, loss of possession letter has no legal consequence / importance, if seller is in possession of subject property and hands over its possession to vendee (purchaser)

When seller has original allotment letter ,and conveyance deed then no legal requirements of other documents.you may purchase property on basis of available documents.

HDFC Bank has approved the loan only on one condition that I have to give idemnity bond to HDFC for the missing orignal posession letter. Is it advisable to sign the idemnity bond for missing orignal posession letter and buy the property ?

There is nothing to worry, just execute an indemnity bond, if the Bank is insisting, otherwise, it is legally not required.
