1. Gift can not be for a nominal amount. Gift is out or love and affection without any consideration,

2. In the instant case such gifting will be treated as remuneration and income by the Income Tax Department,

3. The stamp duty and Registration fee will be as per the rule prevailing at Karnataka and also will depend on the Value of the Flat.

1) under karnataka stamp act Art. 28.deals with Gift Instrument of not being a settlement (No.48) or will or transfer (No.52).

(a) Where the donee is not a family member of the donor.

The same duty as a Conveyance (No.20) for a market value equal to the market value of the property which is the subject matter of gift;

2)it appears to be 8%of value of property as per information available on govt of karnataka website

1. The stamp duty will depend on the value of the property being transferred,

2. for ascertaining value of the Flat as per the Govt. present valuation, a query sheet has to be submitted before the registrar's office seeking valuation of the property and the stamp duty and registration fees to be deposited with the Registrar,

3. The amount of stamp duty and registration fees can only be informed after coming to know about the present circle rate (present value) of the property..

Hi, You have to pay the stamp duty as market value i.e 5.60 %+ 1% total 6.60% on the market value of the property.

Yes this can be done. The expression 'gift' connotes giving something out of love and affection without consideration. The stamp duty can be told only by a Karnataka based lawyer.
