I need to register a lease for a flat in Mulund East in Mumbai. Where do I register, what is the location of the office, what are the procedures and cost, what documents etc, do I need? Is the lease executed on plain paper or on stamp paper (if so, what value?), do we need to take extra copies for the office where we register? Does the lease have to be signed in the office of registration, or can it be signed in advance?
What is the purpose of registration?
