        (1)         If a transfer purports to transfer the whole of the land mentioned in a paper title, the Registrar may, if the Registrar thinks fit, instead of cancelling the certificate of title under section 86, enter on the certificate of title a memorandum of the transfer.

        (2)         If a transfer purports to transfer the whole of the land mentioned in a digital title, the Registrar may, if the Registrar thinks fit, instead of cancelling the certificate of title under section 86, enter the name of the transferee as the new proprietor on the certificate of title.



        (3)         Every certificate with such memorandum or such change shall be as effectual for the purpose of evidencing title and for all other purposes of this Act as if the old certificate had been cancelled and a new certificate had been created and registered in the name of the transferee and such process in lieu of cancellation may be repeated upon every transfer of the whole of the land.
