Nothing except that the registered Will is easier to remove suspicious circumstances, if any.

Registration is optional for wills. Non registration will not affect the validity of the will if it has been properly executed and attested as contemplated under Sec.63 of the Indian succession Act.

Both regd., and unregd., will can be challenged.There is no difference. If the will challenged it has to be proved.

Will need not be registered.
AS such there is no difference between regd and unregd.
Will has to be attested by witness.
As Mr.Barman told, proving of regd will shal be easier task

i agree with experts. there is no requirement in law that a will must be registered. Both have same evidential value and procedure to prove will in both the cases is same.
