3) stamp duty is state subject and varies from state to state

calculation of Stamp duty and Registration fee for family members . Family member means family in relation to the donor for this purpose means husband, wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law and grand children ."

2) since wife is family member it would attract concessional rate of stamp duty

3) it would attract just Rs 1,000 as stamp duty irrespective of the property value.

4) registration charges would be Rs 500

1. You can gift 50 percent share in the property to your wife by your executing Gift Deed in her favour thereby she becomes the joint owner of the property along with you.

2. The stamp duty is Rs.5650/- + 1 percent Registration fee only in the instant case.

3. You can get the Gift Deed registered in the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar's Office.

You can execute a portion of the property (even undivided)to your wife after which she will become joint owner of the property.

You cannot add her name to the existing registered sale deed.

How to add names in the registered sale documents?

New names cannot be added to the already registered sale deed/document, there is no provision in law for that.

What is the method of stamping and registering the gift deed? how much stamp duty, I need to pay? where is it done? at the property Registrar office?

The stamp duty and registration charges differ from one state to another. The formalities and other other procedural aspects can be enquired in the Registrar's office where the property is likely to be registered.

In Karnataka, its 12.5% of the " official" guiding price of the property by Government. It works out to Rs. 8000 per sq.ft today and the property value is Rs. 2.08 Cr. So, i spend 24 lakhs as stamp duty to include my wifes name in the gift deed?

Do not be misguided by somebody's misinformation in this regard.

There is no provision in law for adding a new name to the already registered sale deed document.
