a. Document may be presented for registration within four months from the date of execution (signature).

b. If a document is executed out of India, the period of four months will be counted from the date of its receipt in India.

c. After four months document may be presented within another four months with penalty subject to maximum of ten times the registration fees if the District Registrar grants permission. But document may be presented before Sub Registrar within eight months. Thereafter it cannot be accepted for registration.

Hence you are advised to approach the district registrar for approval, in case he too refuses you can approach the court of law and file appropriate writ.

YOU ARE NOT A OWNER OF OF LAND. BUT IF THE DOCUMENT IS SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER THE YOU POSSESS A RIGHT OVER THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT OF THE AMOUNT IN DEED.THE CHARGE IS CREATED ON PROPERTY .

Mr A V Vishal is right.

Mr A V Vishal is right. However There is no life of stamp papers and if both the parties are ready the same can be filed after changing the date.
