Prior to year 2000 or 2001, a Sale Deed signed by Vendor alone is OK.

In year 2000 or 2001, amendment to Registration Act was made about affixing signature, thumb impression and photographs of Vendor and Vendee on Sale Deed. Therefore, Sale Deeds from the time of this amendment required to be signed/executed by both Vendor and Vendee.
