Should a sale agreement be registered

I am purchasing a flat, which a land owner's share. There is a sale agreement between me and the owner, with builder as guaranter. The builder doesnt want to register the sale agreement. Is it necessary to register the sale agreement. He only wants to register the sale deed. Is there a way owner can contest the sale agreement in court.

It is not mandatory to register a sale agreement. It is only optional. One can sue on one's right under the sale agreement, in case of breach of any of the conditions mentioned in the sale agreement.

hi,

It is not mandatory to register the sale agreement, but sale agreement should be stamped according to the stamp act.

parties have every right to sue other parties on the breach of the agreement,

If it is not properly stamped, cout will put fine, Then only court will consider the agreement.

In Gujarat it is compulsory to registerd the Agreement for sale, and it is necessary for all parties.

Yes, Mr.Bharatkumar is right. It is State amendment and one should find whether there is any such amendment in his State.

I agree with Mr. Bharat Kumar and Mr. Niranjan. In U.P. also, it is necessary to be registered.

To withdraw PF as non-refundable loan, REGISTERED SALE AGREEMENT is required. Does this mean the sale agreement has to be franked with Stamp duty (o.1%) of the sale value?

Sir, I have a small doubt. If the agreement is  even stamped etc according to the law , by payment of the correct fees it is ok. How to prove that the buyer  or seller signature is correct? If this is registered in frnt of registrar -no body can say anything , as registrar, takes a picture./ takes ID proof etc, the parties also sign in front of them , where as in the e stamped agreement for sale -

there is every chance that one of the party can say this is not mi signature. I have not signed. In this case what to do???
