Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

For land requiring a registered conveyance, section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 requires a duly executed and registered sale deed.

The decree, suit and payment alone do not transfer ownership.

Option feedback

Option A

The decree directs performance of the agreement and is not itself the conveyance.

Option B

Section 54 requires a registered instrument for this sale. The sale deed completes the conveyance.

Option C

Filing the suit commences proceedings and does not convey the land.

Option D

Payment alone does not satisfy the requirement of a registered conveyance.
