Got the keys, but is the home really yours? Registry vs possession explained

 Many homebuyers mistakenly believe physical possession of a property equates to legal ownership. However, possession merely grants access, while registration under the Registration Act, 1908, formally transfers title and records you as the rightful owner. Without registration, you lack legal rights to sell, mortgage, or defend your claim. Both possession and registry are crucial for complete ownership. Many homebuyers mistakenly believe physical possession of a property equates to legal ownership.
