As noted from Supreme Court Judgement the Valadity for selling Stamp Paper is Six Months , i.e. within 6 months it can be sold but there is no expiry of Stamp Paper .

What is the impact of registration when the stamps purchased before 4 Four years. How the parties rights are affected? 

Kuldeep Gauniyal (Sr Manager - Legal)     02 February 2012

Indian Stamp Act 1899 does not say anything about use of the stamp paper.  Hence, there is no expiry date of the stamp papers.  However,  Section 54 says that for seeking refund, the stamp papers have to be surrendered within six months from date of purchase.

agree with kuldeep

Thanks for the quick response.

The issue is what is the validity of the documents which got registered after 4 years of the purchase of the Stamp Papers though executed within six months by both the parties.

Whether the delay in the registration is fetal and invalidate the Conveyance DEED?

If so what is the remedy? 

Kuldeep Gauniyal (Sr Manager - Legal)     03 February 2012

Validity of the stamp paper has nothing to with Registration of Conveyance deed.  Registration is a separate process and would be governed by the rules of respective state.
