Under the general central provisions of section 18 of the Registration Act, 1908, which may be registered at the parties’ option? (1) An acknowledgment of consideration for creation of a right valued at 50 rupees in immovable property. (2) An eleven-month lease with monthly rent, neither from year to year nor reserving yearly rent. (3) Government sanads and title deeds evidencing grants of land within section 90(1)(d). Assume no State amendment or special notification applies.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 18 permits optional registration of the below 100 rupee acknowledgment and the specified short monthly-rent lease. The government grant documents fall under section 90, with deemed registration for sections 48 and 49, rather than the section 18 classes asked about.

Option A
The below 100 rupee acknowledgment qualifies, but the defined short lease also qualifies.
Option B
The short lease qualifies, but the acknowledgment also qualifies.
Option C
Both precisely defined private-document classes qualify under section 18.
Option D
The government grant class is section 90-exempt rather than a section 18 optional class.
