Stamp duty paid on release deed but not registered

Release deed executed in 2001 between my father and uncle but was not registered.

Stamp duty has been paid on release deed in this ongoing amnesty scheme they have certified the instrument.

However they have told that registration is not possible will this create any problem in future.

Quick Summary

A release deed was executed in 2001 but never registered, although stamp duty was paid under the recent amnesty scheme. The authorities have certified the instrument but stated registration is impossible. This raises concerns about future problems. It's advised to consult the collector under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and consider expert advice, especially given the extended Maharashtra Stamp Duty Amnesty Scheme 2023.

The Maharashtra Government has issued a notification extending the Stamp Duty Amnesty Scheme 2023 till June 30, 2024. So consult the collector under the I.S. Act, of 1899.
