The director can sell his assets to his company, however it may involve a registered sale deed with the payment of appropriate stamp duty and the registration charges to divest the title to the company.

1. Once the any Asset has been duly Transferred to the Co. (via registered Sale Deed), the Seller or his Family derive no rights whatsoever on such property.

2. However, IF the Property was "ancestral" and sold without written consent of "ALL" legal heirs (who maybe entitled the property in any manner), THEN the Sale Deed becomes Null & Void and can be rescinded /set-aside (by a civil court), since Ancestral property CANNOT be Sold /Gifted /Willed without a registered partition deed.

3. To the exception of above point 2, the Legal Heirs have inherent right to stake claim on the sale proceeds of property BUT ONLY from their Father and not the Co.

If the property belongs to her father she cannot have a share if he doesn't want to give her a share. She only has a share if she was staking claim to an ancestral property.


She can challenge the sale if the property was ancestral and was sold without her consent.

From the details you have furnished, it can be seen that none of the properties mentioned in your query is ancestral in nature.

Legally speaking, an ancestral property is the one which is inherited up to four generations of male lineage. The right to a share in an ancestral property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where legacy opens upon the death of the owner. The share of father and son in ancestral property.

Properties inherited from a mother, grandmother, uncle, and brother is not an ancestral property.

Property inherited through Gift and Will are not ancestral properties

Property gifted by a father to his son cannot become ancestral property at the hands of the son simply because he received it from his father.

Self acquired property by testamentary succession. 

Partners contributed properties to firm, now on dissolution of firm, property will resume to actual owner or by transfer by firm.

Commercial Property No.2: - If no WILL than two brothers of father also have equal share. 

Commercial Property No.3 / Residential Plot - Self acquired property.
