Скачать или смотреть Cancelled Flat Deal BEFORE Registration? Get Stamp Duty Refund! Bombay HC Says YES 💰🏠

If you paid stamp duty (franked or e-payment) for a flat agreement in Maharashtra but the deal was cancelled before signing or registration, you can now get your entire stamp duty refunded – even if years have passed!

In this video, we break down the landmark Bombay High Court judgment (December 12, 2025) in Suresh Ramchandra Sancheti vs State of Maharashtra (WP 8365/2024) that makes refunds virtually guaranteed for unexecuted agreements. The court ruled that no "instrument" exists without execution, so stamp duty was never chargeable – and the 6-month limit is just procedural!

Key highlights:

Why non-registered cancellations win refunds easily
Supreme Court precedents (Committee-GFIL, Harshit Jain) supporting this
How to file: Apply to Collector → Writ Petition in Bombay HC
Success rate: 95%+ in clean cases
Important: This applies mainly to deals cancelled BEFORE registration (stricter for post-registration cancellations)
