Frequently Asked Questions
Can property be gifted to a family member?
Property may be gifted subject to the donor's rights, applicable law and transaction circumstances. Applicable family-category treatment should be separately verified.
Can property be gifted to a non-family member?
The legal and registration implications depend on the transaction and applicable rules. Do not assume that family and non-family gifts receive identical statutory treatment.
Is Gift Deed the same as Settlement Deed?
No. They should not automatically be treated as interchangeable documents. The correct instrument depends on the actual transaction and legal circumstances.
Is Gift Deed the same as Sale Deed?
No. A Sale Deed ordinarily documents a sale transaction involving consideration, whereas a Gift Deed relates to a different form of transfer.
Should EC be checked before a Gift Deed?
EC review is an important due-diligence step, but it should be considered together with title/link documents and other relevant property records.
Should Patta be transferred after Gift Deed registration?
Where applicable, the revenue record may need to be updated after registration. Exact requirements depend on the property and relevant authority.
