Transfer of immovable property reporting required: statement must accompany instrument before registration; periodic reporting to authorities. No registering officer shall register a document purporting to transfer immovable property unless a duplicate statement in the prescribed form, verified in the prescribed manner and setting forth prescribed particulars, is furnished with the instrument; an exception applies for transfers showing an apparent consideration below a prescribed threshold, with the term defined by reference to clause (a) of section 269A as adapted. The registering officer must, fortnightly, forward one set of received statements to the competent authority and file a prescribed fortnightly return of particulars for registered documents.
