Registration of will is not mandatory, as under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, it’s considered to be a personal choice of the testator. However, it’s advisable to register it, if its contents are to be abided by after the person’s death. In other words, the will’s validity or genuineness will be suspect and difficult to prove if it’s not registered.
Kishor Mehta (CEO) 23 May 2022
Registration of a WILL does not prove its absolute genuineness. It is still open to challenge.

Will Registration is NOT MANDATORY. But it is helpful if Will is registered if there are objections to Will in future.
