The very refund receipt can and should be registered with reference to notation of cancellation of original deed,it should involve only revenue receipt stamp payable in state of which the matter is and registry charges extra as payable in state.

A letter from the buyer confirming receipt of refund of the EM is sufficient. However, if the refund is in cash, U will require a separate Money Receipt.
