Quick Summary

In India, blood relatives are generally permitted to act as witnesses during the registration of property deeds such as sale, reconveyance, or lease agreements. The primary requirement is that the witness must be a major (not a minor) and of sound mind. Beyond this, their relationship to the parties involved, whether they are a relative, friend, or neighbour, does not disqualify them from serving as a witness.
