Yes, refund of registration/stamp duty/challan amount may be possible depending upon the stage at which the registration was cancelled and the applicable State Stamp/Registration Rules. However, a delay of 20 months should not be ignored any further. Immediately: • Collect challan/payment receipts • Cancellation/rejection proof • Application/reference numbers • Any correspondence made with Sub-Registrar authorities You should submit a formal refund representation/application before the concerned: • Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) • District Registrar / Registration Department authorities If you have already applied and authorities are keeping the matter pending without justification, you may: • Issue a legal notice; and/or • Approach the High Court seeking appropriate directions for consideration and refund, especially in cases of unreasonable administrative delay. Time limitation rules may apply in certain states, so immediate legal action is advisable. Preserve all original payment and cancellation records carefully.

Yes, in this case I can suggest whenever I see the documents physically, without seeing them I cannot decide issue and cannot give prompt suggestions to you. Thank you. If you have any queries contact me through WhatsApp.
