• Gift deed to mom from abroad

My son wants to execute an unconditional gift deed of flat he purchased in 2015 in Hyderabad to his mom right now. He is working in London and due to corona pandemic and other reasons he can't come to India now, but wish to gift it through any possible legal way. Can he execute the deed from there, by GPA to me as father so that, I can transfer the property to his mom here. Can we prepare the blank docs of (1)Gift Deed and (2) GPA simultaneously here and send the hard copies there, so that he can fulfill all required legal processes from there(London). What authentications are required for ultimate smooth registration here? Please update with thanks in advance.

He can send you GPA, apostille at embassy or notorised in London. And same will register in India with in 4 months. After that, you can act as donor on is behalf.

Gift deed will register at sub registrar office where property located.  Or he can execute gift deed before the Consular Officer at embassy. 2 witness will require.

Your son has to make POA in front of Indian Embassy and send it to India here you can execute the POA . Instead of your name kindly get POA on wife's name directly, because any how gift deed procedure is different you son should be present here, but for POA its not required.

- Your son should execute POA in favour of any relative in India , like father , brother etc , after dully drafting and notarised/ consulate of India in England .  

- Further , that POA holder can legally transfer the said flat by way of a registered Gift deed before the office of Registrar in Hyderabad. 

- Your second option ,i.e. sending the blank documents for signing the same in England ,will be not valid in India , and cannot registered in India as well. 

-  Further, as per Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, Registering a gift deed with the sub-registrar of is mandatory.

1. ONLY a proper Stamp Duty paid (500/-) and Registered POA holder is entitled to execute any immovable property transaction before the local registrar of sub-assurances. IF the POA is not registered, THEN the whole proceedings shall remain illegal. POA can be given to "ANYBODY", irrespective of relationships. Stamp Duty on POA is not the same as Stamp Duty paid on Sale /Purchase Deed.

2. POA may have strategic clauses and time limitations of the deal (payment terms, validity time period of the POA document ....), for safety of the POA giver.

3. POA can be registered "ANYWHERE" in India, before the local registrar of sub-assurances and shall be valid throughout India. Stamp Duty on POA is not the same as Stamp Duty paid on Sale /Purchase Deed. A Notarized POA is legally infructuous for immovable properties.

4. POA document can be endorsed abroad by the local consulate office and SUBSEQUENTLY stamp duty paid and registered in India, for it to be legally enforceable.

5.  IF person CANNOT go to Registrar office to register POA, THEN Registrar's officer can be requisitioned to visit home, to register POA, on payment of due fees by following due procedure of law.

6. As per a SC judgment, "Immovable Property" CANNOT be sold using a GPA and such GPA and Sale shall remain legally null & void.

If your son wants to transfer the property on his name to his mother name by executing a registered gift deed,  since he is not able to visit India for this purpose,  he can execute a SPA deed in your favor. 

You can get it adjudicated before the local sub registrar and then can execute a registered gift deed in favor of your wife on his behalf on the basis of the special power of attorney in your favor.

Your  son needs to give Special Power of Attorney (SPA) to you.

The SPA needs to be duly attested by Indian Consulate and send it to you.

Based on the same, you can complete the execution of Gift on behalf of your son to your Wife.

1. Let him then execute a GPA in favour of a blood relative (you) in India to authorise the latter to execute the gift deed for and on his behalf.

2. The GPA has to be attested before Indian Consulate and then registered before the sub-registrar in India.

3. On the strength of GPA you can execute the gift deed for and on behalf of your son in favour of his mother.

4. Blank papers wont suffice as the donor has to personally go to the sub-registrar's office to execute the deed.

as you are the father, your son may execute a GPA in your favor and send it to you through Post, and based on that GPA you may gift that property to your wife.

 

Draft a GPA/SPA and send it to him for signature and attestation. after taking printout he may sign and notarized the same and send it to you by Post in hard copy.
