Dear Sir / Madam,
a) You should confirm with the Sub-Registrar whether revised Stamp Duty is payable on the registration of the plot of land in your name and complete the registration;
b) It is advisable that all the beneficiaries complete the process at one and the same time, to avoid any future complication or misunderstanding in the matter.
