Question and options
Under the general rules of the Registration Act, 1908, which of these instruments requires registration? Assume no special exemption applies.
A will disposing of immovable property
A receipt recording payment for goods
An eleven-month lease of immovable property with monthly rent
A two-year lease of immovable property
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - A two-year lease of immovable property
Section 17(1)(d) covers leases of immovable property from year to year, for a term exceeding one year, or reserving yearly rent. A two-year lease meets the term criterion. An eleven-month lease with monthly rent does not meet any of those three criteria.
