Gift Deed Registration

A Registered Gift Deed is a legal document through which a property owner voluntarily transfers the ownership of his property to a person without any consideration. It can be movable or immovable property. The person who gifts the property is called the donor and the person who receives the gifted property is called the donee. The donor must voluntarily gift his property to the donee without compensation or consideration. The gift must be accepted by the donee during the lifetime of the donor for the gift to be legally valid. If the gift deed is not accepted by the donee during the lifetime of the donor, it has no legal validity and the deed of gift is void. A gift deed of immovable property becomes effective after it is registered with the Sub-Registrar concerned and by delivery of possession. A registered gift deed has no value if possession is not transferred or the donee refuses to take possession, the donor has the power to cancel the registered gift deed.


PARTIES IN A GIFT DEED

There are two parties in a gift deed, one is the donor and the other is the donee. The donor is the person who gifts the property and he must have the right as well as the power to make the gift. At the time of making a gift, the donor must be a competent person and must attain the age of majority, and must have a sound mind. Similarly, a deed of gift registered by a minor or insane person is void.


There is no compulsion that the donee must be a competent person to enter into a contract at the time of registration of the gift deed. A gift deed is valid if it is made to an insane person or a minor or even to a child existing in the mother’s womb. In such a case a competent person should accept the gift on their behalf.


ESSENTIAL KEY ELEMENTS

1) A gift deed is a compulsorily registrable document. A gift deed must be registered as there is no acceptance of an unregistered gift deed.

2) The property in the gift deed must exist and the donor must have absolute right and possession over the property.

3) The donor must make the gift voluntarily and with free consent. If the donor’s consent is obtained by force, coercion, and undue influence, the gift deed will be void. The donee has to prove that the gift deed was made voluntarily with the free consent of the donor.

4) A deed of gift deed should be executed out of love and affection towards the donee without any consideration.

5) Acceptance of the gift must be made during the lifetime of the donor while competent to contract and before the donee dies.

6) Delivery of possession of the property is an essential condition for a valid gift. If the donor does not hand over the possession of the property or the donee does not take possession of the property, the gift deed is void.


GIFT DEED REGISTRATION CHARGES

The gift deed registration charges in Kolkata, West Bengal include stamp duty and registration fees. The stamp duty is based on the market value of the property being gifted, and it varies depending on whether the donee is a family member or not.


•  For a gift deed of immovable property where the donee is a family member of the donor, the stamp duty is 0.5% of the total market value.

•  For a gift deed of immovable property where the donee is not a family member of the donor, the stamp duty varies based on the location of the property. In Panchayat areas, the stamp duty is 5% of the total market value, and in Municipal areas, the stamp duty is 6% of the total market value.

•  In addition to stamp duty, there is a fixed registration fee for all types of gift deeds in West Bengal. The registration fee is 1% of the total market value of the gifted property.

Right from paper verification to completing the registration process at the registrar office, they took care of the entire process. Kudos to the team Legalcopy.

I consulted Legalcopy for a document verification process related to document forgery and fraud check. I was planning to buy a commercial place but was unsure about the required legal documents and wanted to conduct a verification so that I was sure before buying the place. The team at Legalcopy was extremely helpful. I must say that I was highly impressed by their professionalism and high-quality services. Essentially, Legalcopy undertook every step carefully and provided the document verification report, verified the deed of the previous owner, all registered deed, and sale deed. Highly recommend Legalcopy!

One of my close associates recommended me to choose Legalcopy as I was looking for someone reliable and experienced for verification of land purchase. I had one thing clear that I wanted only one consultant to take care of all the steps rather than going to multiple agents or consultants. I was happy to know that Legalcopy has a comprehensive range of services to choose from. They managed to take care of the entire verification process so smoothly that I recommended them to quite a few friends. I would definitely love to work with Legalcopy again.
