Dear Querist
there is no requirement for registration of Marriage in India because the Consulate Gen. have already issued a marriage registration certificate which shall be valid all over the world.

A certificate issued by Consulate is as good as issued by any registrar of marriages in India. However if you want to get the marriage registered with registrar here just produce marriage certificate to him and he will make a entry in record

In a foreign country between two Indians married and registered under Foreign Marriage Registration Act before the Consulate General is valid in India also.
