A. hello,
Time duration for registration after query payment is different in different states in India. But in general and mostly states it is 30 days duration in which you have to register the property and if not able to because of some reason then you'll have to extend these 30 days by informing within the 30 days. If not then they could charge you delay fees in registration.
Thanks.
