Will registration in Pune: the short answer
Registration gives your Will an official record: the Sub-Registrar checks your identity, records the Will and keeps a copy. Nobody can later claim it never existed, and it is much harder to challenge. Read whether registration is compulsory for the full trade-off.

Which Sub-Registrar office covers you
Pune has many Sub-Registrar offices, most of them numbered Haveli offices, across the PMC and PCMC areas. Pimpri-Chinchwad residents are served by their own offices. We confirm the right one for your address.
Farmland and the varas entry
Agricultural land is recorded on the 7/12 (Satbara) extract. After a death, the heirs apply for a heirship entry, the varas nond, at the talathi's office. A Will that describes the land by gat or survey number exactly as the 7/12 shows it is the strongest support for that entry.
Land on the city's fringe may also carry restrictions on who can hold it. Raise this while your Will is drafted, not after.
Moved from Mumbai or elsewhere
If you retired to Pune but kept a flat in Mumbai, you register in Pune and the Will still covers the Mumbai flat.
How Will registration works in Pune
In Pune, you sign the Will before two witnesses, book a slot on IGR Maharashtra at the Sub-Registrar office covering your home address, and attend together for identity checks, photographs and thumb impressions. The Will is recorded and handed back, usually the same day. We confirm the office and book the slot for you.
Carry the original Will, your photo ID and address proof, and your two witnesses with their ID. See the full documents checklist, or let our Will registration service handle the drafting, office and slot for you.
What it costs in Pune
There is no stamp duty on a Will anywhere in India. The government charges a small fixed registration fee, not a percentage of your property's value, plus scanning charges. We confirm the current amount for your office before the appointment.
What most families pay for is the drafting and the coordination around it. Our Will with Registration package is ₹19,999, one fixed fee agreed before you begin.
