What kind of an agreement did you execute with the buyer whereunder he was to pay the sale consideration post the execution of the sale deed? The sale consideration is paid either at the time of or before the execution of the sale deed, but never after the execution of the sale deed. Now file a suit for cancellation of the sale deed or in the alternative for a decree against the buyer for recovery of money.

Dear Sir/Madam, it will depend upon your terms and conditions of sale agreement, as per sale agreement within or on date not purchased the property by payment of sale consideration, you have to issue a legal notice to the said buyer to perform the said contract and to you show the willigness to sold the property, eventhough he has not comforward the same, it will be automatically cancelled the sale agreement, but you have to take legal action for the same, by issuing public notice for cancellation for the same... if you want more my advice and service I will do it.

If there exists an agreement in this regard as mentioned by you, then you can issue a legal demand notice demanding the sale consideration amount or to forfeit the property.

You can apply for cancellation of registration of the sale deed subsequently if he is not responding or paying the consideration amount.

If the registrar is not agreeing for cancellation of sale deed, then you can file a suit for cancellation of the same before civil court.
