The stamp duty depends upon various factors in this case. It may vary from Rs.100/- to 3% of the Circle Rate of the property. The query requires scrutiny of documents to provide exact answer.

Your father, if is in the agricultural background can buy the agriculture land on his name and then he can transfer it to your name or to your wife's name also since she is also one of the members of the family.

. getting the farmer certificate itself is taking lot of time ( 1-2 month ). for the time being shall i go ahead with father purchasing the property and once my wife considered as agricultural famil, can he gift deed ?

how much cost involved for 14lakh property to transfer as gift deed.

pls let me know.

Actually after her marriage she becomes one of the family members of your family.

Since your family is an agricultural based family, she should not face any problem in that regard, however to be on the safer side you may proceed as per your proposal.

Yes you can do that the property can be purchased and later gifted but then stamp duty has to be paid.

6 percent of stamp duty along with registration has to be paid for the registration of sale deed in favour of the father,

1. Agriculturist Father can buy Land and Gift it directly to his Daughter-in-Law, since now due to marriage, daughter-in-law, is classified as family member of Father. However it would be more prudent to execute a Gift Deed in name of Son & Daughter-in-Law, for futurist purposes.

2. Stamp Duty on Gift Deed by Father to Son or Daughter-in-Law, shall be Rs. 200/- and Registration Fee shall be 200/- (in Maharashtra), IRRESPECTIVE of the quantum amount of transaction, PROVIDED the same is for immovable Residential /Agricultural property only.
