There is no bar in stamps and registration act that the stamp papers need to be in serial nos or purchased on the same date, however apply for a certified copy of the sale deed and verify with the registation office, before closing the deal certain precautions must be taken.

Vishal has given the right advice. Later purchase of stamp papers of much lesser denomination endorse the need for exact value of stamp papers required and there is nothing illegal about it. So enjoy your piece of mind.
