Typing mistake in sale deed

I purchased a property and seller's details has been typed as "Riya Sinha  "पिता" Umesh Sinha" instead of " Riya Sinha  "पति" Umesh Sinha" . The documents has been registered. If I want to rectify it will it be a minor alterations or material alterations and also kindly let me the application section and applicable act or rule.

Thank you 



Quick Summary
A property buyer discovered a typing error in their registered sale deed where the seller's marital status was incorrectly listed. The registry office considers this a major alteration, potentially incurring significant fees. The buyer is seeking clarification on whether this is a minor typographical correction or a major change, and what specific application and legal provisions apply.

Thank you sir for early response. We met the registry office and they are of the view that it would be a major alterations where as it should only be a minor typographical error correction. Kindly provide your observation. Major alterations attracts full stamp duty, registry fee and other fee whereas minor alterations requires only correction fees. I referred the Registration Act and Registration Manuals but I am not able to grasp it
