Stamp duty paid but registration not done for second owner


12-May-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, I've bought a property in Mumbai of which I'm the fourth owner. The flow of possession was as below - 1983 - 1st owner - stamp duty paid, registration done 1990 - 2nd owner - stamp duty paid, registration not done 1999 - 3rd owner - stamp duty paid, registration done 2010 - 4th owner - stamp duty paid, registration done While purchasing, I had done all the checks as well as gotten a home loan for it from HDFC but the documents had been shown to be clear. However, recently when I was trying to transfer my looan to SBI, I was made aware that the second owner might not have registered the document. What I would like to know is - 1. What effect can this have ? 2. Will it pose an issue when I try to sell my property ? 3. What can I do to correct this ? I've no idea where the second owner is and whether he is alive or dead or anything. Kindly advise.

Firstly whether this property is a land or a Flat, please specify so that you can be further guided.
The documents needs to be vetted before advising as to know what are its limitations.
Post viewing your documents you can be guided accordingly
