- Wrong stamp paper denomination — using ₹500 stamp for ₹1Cr deed will be rejected; e-Stamp avoids this.
- Missing two witnesses — Section 32 of Registration Act requires two witnesses physically present with PAN/Aadhaar.
- Stale encumbrance certificate — most sub-registrars require EC dated within 30 days.
