Section 46

The forms from time to time prescribed by rules under this Act shall be used for all instruments intended to affect registered land.

Any variation from a prescribed form, not being in matter of substance, does not affect its validity or regularity, but it may be used with such alterations as the character of the parties or the circumstances of the case may render necessary.

To relieve any case of extreme hardship, the Registrar may, in his discretion, register an instrument which departs substantially from a prescribed form.

The Registrar may make available for sale at a reasonable cost printed forms bearing his seal of office, and may charge such fee as may be prescribed for sealing any instrument lodged for registration without his seal, or for sealing unengrossed forms lodged in bulk.

The Registrar may add to any forms supplied by him as aforesaid such notes and directions as he may think fit for the guidance of persons using the forms.

The Registrar may, in his discretion, vary any prescribed form and may approve forms from time to time in addition to the prescribed forms and this section shall apply to such approved forms.[42
