Period of Limitation.

Bhawani Mahapatra (Querist) 27 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts !

What is the period of limitation for registering a deed after its execution ?

Whether the period of limitation is calculated from the date of execution or from the date of commencement(or effective date) ?

What is the implication, if a deed is not registered within the period of limitation ?

a. Document may be presented for registration within four months from the date of execution (signature).

b. If a document is executed out of India, the period of four months will be counted from the date of its receipt in India.

c. After four months document may be presented within another four months with penalty subject to maximum of ten times the registration fees if the District Registrar grants permission. But document may be presented before Sub Registrar within eight months. Thereafter it cannot be accepted for registration.
