I wish to transfer my flat to my friend by registered gift deed to my friend. Is it possible and what is the procedure?
For a transfer of property through gift deed to be valid, it has to be registered
Under section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, you can transfer immovable property through a gift deed.
Instead of a sale consideration in a sale deed, a gift deed allows you to transfer ownership without any exchange of money. Registering a gift deed with the sub-registrar is mandatory as per section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, and as per section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act.
