If the sale deed is not registered then there would be a cloud on your title in the event of the property becoming the subject matter of a law suit.

Get the property registered asap. Only then you can be absolute owner of that property.

you should get your sale deed registered from the society. however, you have a bare chance of evading from payment of your stamp duty and registration fee provided the lease cum sale deed is perused.

Better to get your sale deed registered. Otherwise you can not sell the property.
