Got it! You want to know if there's a **time limit or any legal issue regarding the date mentioned in the partnership deed and its registration before the Registrar of Firms**, especially for a partnership formed and registered after 1984 (your case is in 2012).

### Key points on partnership deed registration and date:
1. **Partnership Act, 1932 (Section 58)** deals with registration of firms.
2. According to the **Indian Partnership Act, 1932, Section 58(1A)** (the clause you referred to):
> "The statement (i.e., partnership deed and other required details) shall be sent or delivered to the Registrar **within a period of one year from the date of constitution of the firm**."
3. For firms formed **after 1984**, the same one-year limit applies. The amendment you mentioned about firms carrying business before 1984 applies only to those old firms, so it doesn’t affect you.
4. **No legal issue if the partnership deed is registered within one year** from the date of constitution of the firm.

### Your case:
* Partnership deed dated **22 October 2012** (date of constitution). * Registered before Registrar on **5 November 2012** (within a couple of weeks).
**This is well within the 1-year time limit allowed.**
---
### Summary
* **No issue with late registration** here because registration was done well within one year from the date of constitution. * The **date mentioned in the partnership deed** is important because it determines the date of constitution. * You **must register the firm within 1 year** from this date. * Registration after this period may attract penalties or affect certain legal rights, but you are safe since you registered well within the limit.

### About registration fee and Registrar address in South Delhi:
* **Registration fee** varies by state but generally is around **Rs 100 to Rs 500** (exact fee depends on state rules). * For South Delhi, Registrar of Firms office is under the **Department of Industries, Government of Delhi** or **Registrar of Firms, Delhi**.
