An important aspect of execution of documents lies in their
registration wherever applicable. Commonly, it is assumed to be a
direct corollary/ consequence of stamping of documents; however it
can broadly be treated as an extension and not a direct consequence
since all documents do not require registration but documents that
are to be registered need to be stamped.
Land is a critical component in any infrastructure project and
hence various important legal issues like land acquisition,
mortgages, other security documents and other related matters come
into question. As most documents pertaining to immovable property
need to be registered in accordance with the Registration Act, 1908
(Act) which came into force on 1 January 1909, an understanding of
this statue too becomes necessary specially for successful
implementation of immovable property transactions and
infrastructure projects.
