In Maharashtra its better to go for a gift deed rather than relinquish or release deed as in that case the stamp duty as applicable on conveyance is levied.

W.e.f from 16 May 2017 the stamp duty on Gift deed is 3 % market value.

Kindly clarify property ancestral or self acquired as in case of ancestral property the stamp duty on release deed is less.

Stamp duty on gifting immovable property to relatives: 500.

Even if brother is ready to relinquish his share in property without any consideration stamp duty would be leviable

1) You can go with Relinquish deed and without paying any consideration, stanp duty and registration fees.

2) Only Paper work and Non judicial stamp of rs 100 or 500 to be purchased.

He cannot release his rights because it is not jointly inherited property but it is jointly owned property.

Hence the property can be transferred to your name either by executing a registered sale deed or gift deed.

There is no stamp duty on gift deed transfer within the blood relations in Maharashtra except Rs. 200/- towards registration charges.

the property is self acquired and paid full money by first brother, 2nd brother paid nil on original purchase, since it was under construction property at that time for convenience purpose 2nd brother name was mentioned, since there was no society formed and nomination not made, now brother has bought his property and he is willing to relinquish without any consideration, whether still stamduty is applicable?

Since this is a jointly purchased property, relinquishment deed shall not be applicable.

Th other options are that of registered sale deed or registered gift deed.

Dear Cleint,

Release Deed is advisable and cheap in comparison to Gift Deed.

But there`s No Stamp duty on gifting of property between blood relatives in Maharashtra.

So go for it.
