Validity & registration

Dear All,

Please advice me!

An agreement has been made on stamp paper 1 year ago in January 2011but not yet notarised.

Any agreement made only on stamp paper and not notarised is valid or not. Is the validity of that agreement counts after it get notarised??
Is it compulsory to notarise all the agreements? If not than will it be considered as invalid doc??
If its compulsory than if we go with notarised as on date than what will be the validity period from which it will be considered as valid doc.

Please reply i am in big confusion and it will have legal impact on us.

Thanks in advance.

dear ,

1.any agreement made in stamp paer or even in plain paper even if not notarised is a valid agreement .

2.there is no where mentioned about the compulsion of notarisation of all agreements but notarisation makes the authentification of a agreement easily proved in court if any dispute arises.

3.even if you notarised your agreement today the date of validation of agreement will remain the same as before.

Thank you for your kind reply.

Any agreement made in plain paper normally does not have any validity in the eyes of Court.

When we want to submit the agreement (not notarised but executed in stamp papers) to any government office like Sales Tax office, etc they do not accept as valid docs. They simply reject by saying invalid doc. How to justify on such situation?
