Spelling mistake in bond paper

Hello,

It was the agreement of paying one forth amount before registration of a plot. There was not mentioned about forfeiture of the amount, if the plot is not registered in 40 days from the date of agreement. The brokers have said that I can write the forfeit statement (hand written) on the Rs.100/- bond paper. So I did...

My question

1. Is it going to be valid that I wrote the statement "if the registration is not done withing 40 days of the agreement, then the vendee will forfeit the amount" hand written on the bond paper?

2. I've written "forefeit" instead of "forfeit", a spelling mistake which i have realised after they left, Would that be an issue?

Please help me with my questions, i shall be grateful.

Spelling mistake does not make any difference.

No need to worry. It doesn't matter.

See dear friend, an agreement is a set of condition acceptable to the parties in a particular pretext and both parties bear an intention to abide by the same. If the same is reduced to writing in anon- judicial paper, it is done to protect the intrest of the aggrieved party in the event of a breach of conditions.

In the instant case, if you have added some sentence after typing/ execution is over, then both parties must put their initial at the beginning and end of the sentence inserted later. However , minor spelling error on the body of the agrement which oes not have bearing on the mea shall not cause any harm to the document.
