344 CONVEYANCING, DRAFTING & DEEDS [Ch. 67
14. Indemnity ? liability of indemnifier?s heirs and successors.?
An indemnity is generally personal in nature.  However, in the absence of
a contract to the contrary, a contract of indemnity will be enforceable by and
against the parties and their legal heirs and legal representatives including
assignees and transferees ? Ram Baran v Ram Mohit, AIR 1967 SC 744;
see also Sec. 37 of the Indian Contract Act 1872.
15. Form of Indemnity.?A contract of indemnity may be in the form of
a letter or by an independent deed or bond or by addition of an indemnity
clause in the main deed, e.g. in a sale deed by way of a covenant to indemnity
the purchaser against any defect in the vendor?s title to the property or
against any charge or encumbrance upon the same.
When an indemnity is executed in a separate instrument it may take the
form of a deed or may be in the form of a letter addressed to the person
who is intended to be indemnified.
However, when an indemnity is not merely a personal undertaking but
it is also secured by hypothecation of property, it is drafted in the form of
a mortgage.
16. Stamp duty.?A contract of indemnity which is not secured by
hypothecation of any property or for any of the purposes specified under
Article 57 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, it is chargeable as on an
agreement, but where it hypothecates property and is for the purposes
specified in Article 57 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, it is chargeable as a
security bond or as a mortgage under Article 40 of the said Act, as the case
may be.
17. Registration.?Registration of a contract of indemnity is not com-
pulsory unless the undertaking is secured by hypothecation of immovable
property of the value of Rs.  100 or more.
