Haryana charges stamp duty at 7% for transferring property even to family members while in case of women it is 5%.
Minimal charges have to be paid for gift deed
- The Gift deed allows you to gift your property/assets or transfer ownership without any exchange of money.
- Further , to gift immovable property, you just have to draft the document on a stamp paper, have it attested by two witnesses .
- Further ,as per Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 registering a gift deed with the sub-registrar is mandatory , failing which the transfer will be invalid.
- Further , if you want to gift movable property like jewellery, registration is not compulsory.
- However, in Haryana , there is no stamp duty on transfer of immovable property to blood relations, including children, grandchildren, spouse, brothers and sisters.
