Adoption deed does not require registration

 

Adoption Deed does not require Registration

 
In this context, it will be worthwhile to note the requirement of registration of an Adoption Deed. Section 17 of the Registration Act specifically refers to the documents of which registration is compulsory. The deed of adoption is not one of the documents mentioned in sub-section 1 of Section 17 which mandatorily required registration. Sub-section 3 of Section 17 only refers to the mandatory requirement of registration of an authorization that may be given for adopting a son executed after 01.01.1872 if such authorization was not conferred by a Will. Dealing with the said provision relating to authorization, it has been held in the decision reported in Vishvanath Ramji Karale V. Rahibai Ramji Karale and others - AIR 1931 Bombay 105 by a deed of adoption as distinguished from authority to adopt does not require registration.

Authority to Adopt also does not require registration.  It is also an optional registerable document

Even though adoption deed does not require registration  , some banks refuse to open bank

account for adopted minor having registered adoption deed and insist on court order to open

child's account . Is it legal or necessary requirement . Learned members kindly advice.

Aspirations.

for any future requirement if the deed is registered will have its own legal strength
