Gift deed from father to son
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am residing in a flat in Co-Op Society in Borivali, Western Suburbs of Mumbai.
My father purchased this flat from builder in 01/06/1994 and we have a mutual understanding where in I would be paying Rs 40 lakhs for the flat and he would transfer the flat in my name by way of Gift Deed.
My father has paid the Stamp Duty but registration of the flat is not done.
Current Market Value of the property as per ready reckoner is 57 Lakhs.
My Questions are as follows :-
1-> Is it possible to register the Flat now, if yes then ,registration charges of 1994 or 2015 would be applicable , If no then, what is the procedure to register the property ?
2-> If Registration is possible then is there any penalty ?
3-> How Much Stamp Duty & Registration Charges for Gift Deed it would attract ?
4-> Once the Deed is done, Can I sell the flat later ?
5-> Can I mention the amount of Rs 40 Lakhs as mutual Understanding in Gift Deed so that my father doesn't land up in Income Tax problems?
6-> If for any reason registration of Flat purchased in 1994 is not possible and Gift Deed is registered by way of Stamp Duty & Registration will the property be legal in eyes of Law ?
Many Thanks
Vipul Shah
