Yes a relinquish deed is required compulsory registration u/ sec 17 of Indian Registration Act for it's  validity and enforceability. Notarized relinquish deed is not valid .

Thank you sir.

Notarised Relinquishment Deed has no legal value, it has to be compulsorily registered with Sub-Registrar

Thanks again,

Taking this further with your help, also wanted to know if this can be done online with one person near me in Delhi and the other in Chennai.

Could you please explain the procedure, taking a little time off your precious time sir.

Thanks

In the event of transfer or any transaction pertaining to an immovable proeprty, it is mandatory to execute the deed by a registerered document as per section 17 of Registration act.

It has to be done by parties appearing in person before the concerned registrar

It is a compulsorily registerable document under Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act.  The SR concerned will admit the document if it is otherwise in order.

Please keep in mind that the mere notarization of a Relinquishment Deed is legally insufficient and unacceptable.
 
Per the Registration Act, any document concerning immovable property must be registered. Section 49 of the Act stipulates that a compulsory registrable document, if unregistered, shall neither affect the immovable property comprised therein nor be received as evidence of any transaction affecting such property.
 
An unregistered Relinquishment Deed, even if notarized, does not legally transfer or extinguish the co-owner's right and is invalid regarding title transfer.

Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate )     17 December 2025

Concerned parties shall have to be present before concerned Sub-Registrar for registration of relinquishment deed.

However, registered power of attorney of any of the parties can be considered / accepted.

A Relinquishment deed involves transfer  or release of immovable properties usually among  owners/legal heirs. Because it affects title and ownership and hence registeration is required. As per section 17 of the registeration act, Any document that creates, assigns, limits, or extinguishes rights in immovable property valued above ₹100 must be registered. Un registsred deed cannot be relied upon for selling the immovable property. Sub-Registrar will refuse registration of a sale deed if title is based on an unregistered relinquishment deed
