Question and options
Under the Registration Act, 1908, who prepares the table of fees payable for the registration of documents?
The Central Government
The Inspector-General of Registration
The State Government
The Registrar of the district
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - The State Government
Section 78 of the Registration Act, 1908 provides that the State Government shall prepare a table of fees payable for registering documents, searching the registers and making copies. Section 79 requires the table to be published in the Official Gazette and displayed in every registration office. The Act gives this power neither to the Central Government nor to registration officers such as the Inspector-General or the district Registrar, which is why fees differ from state to state.
