I need to register a duly stamped sale deed of residential property. To register this document, an original receipt for payment of stamp duty is required by the Registrar. I am unable to trace the original receipt; hence would like to know the proposed course of action to enable me to register the sale deed. Does an indemnity bond suffice? Is it possible to get a duplicate copy of receipt, if yes from where can this be sourced?
