Quick Summary

If your property agreement date has expired due to COVID-19 lockdowns, the principle of 'time is essence of contract' may not apply strictly. While you must be ready to fulfil your obligations as soon as possible, the pandemic may entitle you to relaxation. It's crucial to communicate with the seller in writing, explain the reasons for the delay, and seek their understanding and approval for an extension.

Though both the parties of agreement are bound by terms and conditions of agreement and also bound by the principle " Time is essence of contract " but due to lock down and pandemic , buyer is entitled to get relaxation and in such a situation said principle does not apply strictly.Buyer should be ready to perform his part as soon as possible.

The registration & stamps department may be hopeful will exempt its services from lockdown and allow registrations through online process. Better inform to seller in writing messages and get approval from seller.
