it is not lease deed but release deed

document is required to be stamped and regsitered . if document has not been stamped submit it for adjudication pay stamp duty with penalty

generally token stamp duty is levied as the release deed executed between family members on account of natural love and affection and without consideration

in maharashtra under bombay stamp act provides as under

article 52
Release whereby a person renounces a claim upon other person or property

If the release is of an ancestral property in favour of certain specified relatives
Rs. 200

Every other Case
Same duty as on a conveyance as on the market value of the share, interest or part renounced

Sethi ji! Again read facts given in query. Release Deed was executed in the year of 1974 unstamped and unregistered and now disputes have started between brother and sister wherein mother has become ex-parte.

There is no scope of getting it registered at this belated stage even on affixing of stamp duty. One more thing such Release Deed has lost its existence as no transfer of ownership can be claimed on the basis of this unregistered document which is now nothing but a paper transaction having no sanctity of law.

mr makkad is right . document cannot be registered now . thanks for correcting me

All documents, except wills, shall be presented for registration within four months from the date of execution as per provision of Section 23 of the Registration Act, 1908. Section 25 of the said Act provides for condonation of delay upto to four months on payment of a fine not exceeding ten times the registration fee

who is asking you to pay the stamp duty on unregistered release Deed.

sanjeev murthy desai (Expert) 29 October 2011
Witness already given evidence. it shows your document is already admitted in court. hence court has to be decide if any objections raised about stamp duty.
