Legal Framework
Gift of immovable property in India is governed by strict legal requirements — writing, attestation, acceptance, and compulsory registration.
Registration Act, 1908
Compulsorily requires registration of all gifts of immovable property — an unregistered gift deed for immovable property is invalid.
Income Tax Act — Section 56(2)
Gifts received from non-relatives above Rs. 50,000 in a year are taxable as income. Gifts from specified relatives are exempt.
Specific Relief Act, 1963
Governs the donee's right to specific performance if the donor attempts to revoke a completed and accepted gift.

JaipurFrequently Asked Questions
Stamp Duty Not Included
Government stamp duty charges apply to registered documents and vary by state. These are paid directly to the government and are not part of our service fee. Your advocate will confirm the applicable amount for your state before any document is executed.
Under Indian law, a gift of immovable property is generally irrevocable once completed and accepted. It can be revoked only in very limited circumstances — if it was made under fraud, coercion, or undue influence — through a court order.
Most states offer concessional stamp duty rates for gifts to blood relatives — typically 2–3% instead of the standard 5–8%. The definition of blood relative varies by state and should be checked for your specific situation.
Yes. A gift deed for immovable property must be attested by at least two witnesses in addition to being signed by the donor and accepted by the donee. Failure to meet this requirement can make the gift deed legally invalid.
Generally no. Once a gift is completed through acceptance and registration, it cannot be revoked by the donor — even a parent. The only exceptions are gifts made under specific conditions (onerous gifts) where the condition is not fulfilled.
