Introduction

The Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (TPA), is a cornerstone of Indian property law. It governs the transfer of immovable property between living persons and outlines the manner, conditions, and legality of such transfers. When this legislation was enacted, India’s legal and economic frameworks were vastly different.

In recent decades, the rise of financial technologies (FinTech) has drastically altered how property transactions are executed—bringing in online documentation, blockchain-based records, digital payments, and automated legal agreements. This article examines the TPA’s relevance in the digital era and proposes legal reforms to ensure the law keeps pace with India’s growing digital property economy.
