Registration of old property under my name


16-Sep-2024 (In Property Law)
My father didn't register the flat under his name at the time of purchase in 1999 but we are living in the same flat since then and have paid maintenance, water bill, house tax (which is under previous owner name) till now. So if I want to register my father name on the flat what is the procedure? Also, do I need to pay the same registration charges and stamp duty that we pay while buying a new flat ? We don't where the previous owner is. The flat is in thane district, Mumbai.
