Dear Client,
Sale Agreement, which is not registered, is enforceable in Law, and all stamp shortage charges can be paid through the order of the court.
Such agreements stay valid for 3 years from the execution date. If there is a negative clause in the agreement, for example, it’s specified in the agreement that the buyer is required to get the property registered within 3 months, then the limitation period will be extended by that particular period.
According to the current legal scenario, an unregistered document that is required to be registered has serious consequences because the party seeking its enforcement won’t be able to depend upon the document for proving its contents. This process might not allow the party to enforce their contract.
However, under Section 54, such an unregistered sale deed, although valid under the Registration Act, will not be able to confer the title on the purchaser.
Thank You.
