- Since, the said property is presently in your name registered , then you can transfer the said property back to your mother by way of a Registered Gift deed. 

- The stamp duty being blood related is nominal . 

- However, if it came to you by way of Gift deed , then you both can cancel this gift deed , after registering a Cancellation deed.

Hello,

  1. The stamp duty and registration charges will depend on the instrument that is being used for the transfer of the property back to your mother.
  2. A transfer by Gift Deed would be one that can keep the stamp duty at minimum taking advantage of the blood relation between the parties. However the value of the property in question will be a consideration in this.

1.  YES .... Legally you may execute a registered Gift Deed in favor of your Mother, that you earlier received from her.

2. Further IF earlier Settlement Deed is less than Six months old, THEN you may execute registered "Revocation Deed" of earlier settlement deed and the property will revert back to Mother.

3. Consult a local Property Lawyer, for the above purposes with all the available documents.

Since stamp duty and registration fees differ in every state someone from Chennai can help you. 

On the basis of your information it can be said that if the nature of document remains same like before the rate of stamp duty and registration fees will also remain same.  The amount may differ if the valuation of the property has increased in the meantime.

The Answer is No. 

You need to furnish more details of first settlement by your mother to you and full description of property  value and area to ascertain stamp duty and registration charges for the same.

Why don't you prepare a WILL and execute it in favour of your mother which may be done within INR 50,000/-
