Name of both the parties
It is one of the most critical parts in any sales deed. Recording the correct name with the correct spelling is essential. To make sure you have got the right spelling, it is advised to check and cross check it with the government documents like passport, Aadhaar card, academic record or any other valid government-issued document.If the spellings of names are mentioned differently in various documents, then it is advised that you record all the different versions of names as the alias.
If the woman is mentioned as a daughter of and in another document mentioned as wife of, then it is advised to mention both to avoid any confusion in future.
