Legal Procedure and Authority - The courts have clarified that the authority to demand deficit stamp duty and to make endorsements lies with the registering authority or collector, and that this process must be completed before the original deed is returned.

Court Rulings on Return of Deed - Courts have consistently held that the return of the original sale deed is contingent upon the completion of valuation, payment of deficit stamp duty, and issuance of necessary endorsements.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The return of the original deed by making endorsement of deficit stamp duty is legally permissible only after the debtor complies with the payment of the deficient stamp duty and the registering authority completes the necessary valuation and endorsement process. Courts have upheld that the original deed remains with the authority until these conditions are fulfilled to safeguard the state's interest and ensure proper stamp duty collection J. Bharathi VS Special Deputy Collector (Stamps) - Madras, Inspector of Registration, Chennai VS A. L. Ramu - Madras. Therefore, the process involves assessing the deficit, endorsing the same on the document, and only then returning the original deed to the petitioner.
