1) as per article in hindustan times May 28, 2014 20:37 IST

Following in the footsteps of neighbouring Punjab, the council of ministers in Haryana on Wednesday decided to exempt transfer of immovable property within blood relatives from stamp duty.

The exemption would be applicable for parents, children, grand children, brothers, sisters and between spouses.

1.so i wanted to know whether this case can come in the purview of blood relation?

First confirm the seller's title by a registered deed on is name then he can think of transferring the same as per his wish.

2. do we have to show white money transaction for this transfer?

Black money transaction will not fetch you the legal validity.

3. can stamp duty be avoided in this case? what will be the calculation for stamp duty?

For registering the deed, applicable stamp duty has to be paid, you cannot avoid it.

4. conveyance deed as a proof of ownership for my father?

It should be by a registered document otherwise it is not valid.

2. now my advisor was saying it will also be submitted to court for registering purpose

3. Please advise me after this? should we go for registry in favor of my mother or should we prefer gift deed?

The transferor's title to the property can be confirmed only by a registered document standing on his name

Without that he cannot execute any transfer document in favor of anyone and any such unregistered document is invalid in law,Dont be misguided to avoid paying stamp duty, you may not find a permanent solution to this.

4. Does conveyance deed hold the same value as registry holds?

Yes, if it is a registered document.

5. in case we go for gift deed, then also we need to go for registry??

Unregistered gift deed is not valid in law.

Spouses are not related by blood, so unless the notification specifically exempts a transfer between spouses from payment of stamp duty, the stamp duty will be leviable according to Stamp Duty Act prevailing in the state.

1. Sale deed has to be compulsorily registered. Title does not pass unless the sale deed is registered.

2. Gift deed too has to be mandatorily registered.
