• Transfer of title through Gift Deed

I, jointly with my brother, own a property in Ghaziabad. Both of us mutually decided to gift each half of the property to our respective wife, and accordingly the Gift Deeds were duly registered in Ghaziabad Tehsil. My question is whether based on these registered deeds, can Ghaziabad Development Authority mutate the title of the respective portion of the property in our wife’s names? The current mutation certificate is jointly in me and my brother’s name. The property is freehold and was jointly inherited by us following my mother’s death. The property was mutated jointly in our name after my mother’s name was removed following her death.

The mutation of property is made for the purpose of collection of revenue.

For doing such thing the prima facie title or possession in the said property is required to be established.

In your case since at present to ladies have acquired title from their respective husbands, there is no difficulty to mutate their names with the local authority.
