Succession Certificate Kaise Milta Hai | Movable Assets Claim

Succession Certificate aur Legal Heir Certificate me kya farak hai?

In dono documents ke beech differences ko clear samajhna zaroori hai taki aap sahi document ke liye apply kar sakein:

1. Issue karne wali Authority: Legal heir certificate local Mamlatdar ya Talati office (revenue department) se banta hai. Succession certificate sirf civil court dwara legal judicial process ke baad hi issue kiya jaata hai.

2. Asset Type: Legal heir certificate primarily immovable properties (agricultural land, plot, house) me naam chadhane ke liye hota hai. Succession certificate specifically movable assets (bank balance, shares, bonds, mutual funds, PF amount) ko claim karne ke liye hota hai.

3. Kanooni validity: Succession certificate court ka order hota hai, isliye financial institutions ise reject nahi kar sakte, jabki legal heir certificate bank claim me har baar accept nahi kiya jaata.

• Legal Heir Certificate: Revenue office (immovable properties, land mutation)
• Succession Certificate: Civil Court (movable assets, bank accounts, shares)
• Financial claims ke liye Succession Certificate compulsory hai

Succession Certificate ke liye court process kya hai?

Succession certificate lene ke liye court me ek systematic legal procedure chalta hai:

Step 1: Petition Filing (Section 372): Sabse pehle aapko local civil court me Section 372 ke tehat ek formal petition file karni hoti hai. Is petition me deceased person ka naam, death date, assets ki complete details aur unki valuation, aur sabhi legal heirs ke relations declare kiye jaate hain.

Step 2: Scrutiny and Notice: Court records ko verify karta hai aur petition accept hone par local newspapers me public notice (advertisement) release karne ka order deta hai. Yeh notice isliye hota hai taki agar kisi teesri party ko objection ho, to woh court me bol sake.

Step 3: Objection Window (45 Days): Notice release hone ke baad court standard 45 days ka wait karta hai. Agar is duration me koi objection file nahi hota, to court aage hearing badhata hai.

Step 4: Evidence and Statement: Hearing stage par court waarison ke statements aur documentary proofs (death certificate, identity proofs, asset statements) verify karta hai.

Step 5: Order and Court Fee: Agar court satisfied hai, to woh succession certificate issue karne ka order pass karta hai. Order pass hone ke baad, applicant ko assets value ke hisaab se required judicial stamp paper (court fees) submit karni hoti hai, jiske baad court official certificate hand over karta hai.

• Section 372 petition filing in Civil Court
• Public notice in newspapers for transparency
• Objection waiting period of 45 days
• Judicial stamp paper submission after final order

Court fees aur stamp duty kitni lagti hai?

Succession certificate ki sabse main cost court fee hoti hai. Har state ke court fees laws alag hote hain:

Gujarat Court Fees: Gujarat me judicial stamp duty ya court fee total assets valuation ka aamtaur par ek fixed percentage hoti hai. Gujarat court fee schedule ke mutabik yeh fee aamtaur par 2% se 3% ke slab me hoti hai. Yeh court fee direct stamp papers ke roop me ya judicial registry me jama ki jaati hai.

2. Surviving legal heirs ke identity and address proofs (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport).

3. Family Tree / Pedhinamu (local talati se certificate ya notarised copy).

4. Asset Proofs: Bank account statement, fixed deposit receipt copy, share certificates ya mutual fund statement jiske base par succession claim ho raha hai.
