• Which Indian law is applicable for including name of mother as a joint owner on the son's property.

Municipal council has taken joint name of my mother on my self acquired immovable property as per my affidavit request on 100 Rs stamp paper. I have no any problem or contention but government asked me for showing rules of transfer of property. So inform me applicable laws, acts, rules, sections etc.

Under section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, you can transfer 50 share in immovable property through a gift deed.

2) Registering a gift deed with the sub-registrar is mandatory under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908,

3) mere affidavit is not sufficient to make your mother co owner of property

The property can be transferred in joint name only by sale gift or a registered deed not on affidavit.

So for joint ownership u need to make a registered gift deed in favour of your mother.

For transfer of ownership under transfer of property act either it has to be sale or gift or exchange for transferring property rights and further under the registration act makes it mandatory for registration so the affidavit won't transfer the ownership.

Make a gift deed in favor of mother.

Firslty, there has been a proper procedure to include or delete anyone’s name into the property documents.

Secondly, as you have included by way of affidavit which is also a correct way to do so.

Thirdly, and they have already done then there is no question of putting questions to you now.

Fourthly, if still they say so then there may be a provision in the municipal act of your state which may prescribe the procedure as every state has its own.

Rest you can have a detail talk through Kanoon...!

1. Your query is not clear to me.

2 If you alone is the owner of this property then no one else's name , not even that of your mother can be added as its co owner.

3. So I am not sure on what basis or for what the Municipality is asking for the name o your mother. If you share their demand notice on this account then further advice can be given.

As i advised you in the previous query too, in order for it to a proper validated transfer to your mother, you'll have to execute gift deed or relinquishment deed, giving half of the property in favour of your mother.

1. If you wish to make your mother a co-owner of the property, you can sign a gift deed for gifting half share in property to her name

2. The gift deed will give valid legal title to your mother as a joint property owner

3. Mere entry in municipal records will not confer legal title on your mother

Dear Sir,

Without your consent and without you furnishing name and other details of your mother they could not have registered joint names. You may get remove in the name of your mother by getting a NOC on Rs. 100 stamp paper that she has no objection to remove her name. Otherwise act according to advise of municipal office. It is not advisable to take any action against them. You may also get release deed from your mother and get into your exclusive name. It is not a big issue.

If the property is on your name alone then you may gift a portion of the property to your mother's name by a registered gift deed, then she will become a joint owner of the property.

Adding her name to municipal records will not make her a legally valid joint owner of the property.

The action of getting her name added in the property jointly with you in the municipality records is not invalid in law but it should be done after only after she becomes a joint owner by a registered deed.
