For a transfer deed, when is it effective?

• A. It is effective upon completion
• B. It is effective only when stamped
• C. It is effective when dated
• D. It is effective only if signed by buyer

Answer: (C)

The transfer takes effect on the date stated in the deed. That date fixes when the transfer of ownership is considered to occur, which matters for title, registration, and any related rights or duties from that moment. Completion of the sale is a separate event and does not determine when the transfer becomes effective. Stamping relates to tax and enforcement implications, not the moment the ownership passes. The important point is that the date chosen in the transfer deed marks the moment the transferee’s interest arises, so it governs when the transfer is effective.
