1. Stamp paper validity is for life. Only for refund of unused stamp paper the validity is 6 months. 

2. It's not invalid. 

3. No

Only under Section 52 B(a) of The Bombay Stamp Act 1958, prescribed the period of six months from the date of purchase of Stamp Paper or delivery of Stamp Paper after which the Stamps become invalid and it can't be used after that.

The stipulation of the period of six months prescribed in section 54 is only for the purpose of seeking refund of the value of the unused Stamp paper, and not for use of the Stamp paper. Section 54 does not require the person who has purchased a Stamp paper, to use it within six months. Therefore, there is no impediment for a Stamp paper purchased more than six months prior to the proposed date of execution, being used for a document.”

1. With reference to the above context the agreement cannot be rendered invalid and the registration of the property at a later date beyond 6 months period can be termed as legally valid execution.

2. Dont, worry about its validity, you can quote the above provisions of law to establish its validity.

In my opinion, the registration is legally valid, hence your fears about it is unnecessary. 

In the case of  Thiruvengada Pillai vs Navaneethammal & Anr passed on 19 February, 2008 by the bench Bench: R V Raveendran, P. Sathasivam (2008 (4) SCC 530). The Hon’ble Supreme Court said that, “The Indian Stamp Act, 1899 nowhere prescribes any expiry date for use of a Stamp paper. Section 54 merely provides that a person possessing a Stamp paper for which he has no immediate use (which is not spoiled or rendered unfit or useless), can seek refund of the value thereof by surrendering such Stamp paper to the Collector provided it was purchased within the period of six months next preceding the date on which it was so surrendered.

1. Is the agreement invalid and my grandfather has not received the right in property ownership
Answer: Has the stamp duty being paid accurate? Does the document have a registered stamp on it? If yes, then it is valid document. 


2. We have an ongoing suit on the said land, will it affect grandfather's title. Although the deed is regd but stamp paper is invalid
Answer: The stamp act no where mentions that the stamp cannot be used after 6 months. The stamp act only mentions that, the refund of the stamp paper is invalid after 6 months;
 

3. Can any document be executed now to make the document valid. Grandfather has passed away and whereabout of the seller is not known

Answer: You must consult a local lawyer, discuss all facts and then take steps.

If the registration of property was done without any objection from sub registrar then the agreement is considered as valid instrument.

No it will not affect the title of your grandfather if no objection on validity of stamp paper was claimed by any aggrieved party.
