The rule detailed the procedure, terms and conditions for the conversion of a property held through a GPA. The administration has also deleted related provisions under Rule 9.

Also, now the consideration amount for the payment of stamp duty for purpose of a registered conveyance deed will be “conversion fee” only and not “surcharge”, which was earlier the case.

In Chandigarh, residential properties can be converted from leasehold to freehold on payment of a conversion fee. For commercial and industrial properties, though the administration has agreed to allow conversion, the approval of Union ministry of home affairs is awaited.
