1) Depends upon State. Check up with ur local document writer.

2) Registering a sale agreement is a wise move as it is also backed by various acts such as the Indian Contract Act, Specific Relief Act and various apartment acts enforced by many states. The Uttar Pradesh Apartment Act 2010 also requires all sale agreements to be necessarily registered in UP.
