Dear Client,

Relinquishment deed execute by joint owner/ holder in favor of other joint holder.

Here, your friend will have no claim/ownership in the property, so transfer can be through GIFT DEED, not relinquishment deed.

So stamp duty 4%.

stamp duty is state subject and varies from state to state

2) among close relatives concessional stamp duty is levied . hence father paid concessional stamp duty on relinquishment deed signed by his siter

3) whereas in case of your friend Rd is being signed by sister husband and their children so higher stamp duty is being levied

4) contact a local lawyer

Sir the stamp duty vary from state to state, in my opinion 4% duty on the relinquishment deed is correct. Further you can meet sub registrar stamps for actual valuation and can ask in written the amount of the stamp duty to be paid.

For executing a registered release deed relinquisishing the rights in the proeprty appropriate stamp duty has to be paid.

It differs from one state to another.

Since your father has already obtained the same, you may enquire about the formalities including applicable stamp duty payable etc.

You can even approach the registrar's office directly to enquire about the applicable rate if you suspect the broker's words.
