Gift Deed
Drafting and registration of gift deeds for transferring property to family members or others, without consideration.
A gift is the voluntary transfer of existing property without any payment in return. Under Sections 122 and 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a gift of immovable property must be made by a registered instrument signed by the donor and attested by at least two witnesses, and must be accepted by the donee during the donor’s lifetime.
Once accepted, a gift generally cannot be revoked except in the limited situations the law allows, so the deed should be drafted with care — particularly where conditions, reserved rights or elderly donors are involved. Haryana provides stamp duty concessions for gifts between certain close relatives; the chambers checks whether a proposed gift qualifies and prepares the deed accordingly.

Frequently asked questions
Only in limited cases — for example, where donor and donee agreed that it would be revoked on a specified event not depending on the donor’s will alone, or where it could be rescinded as a contract. A gift cannot otherwise be taken back at will, so the decision should be made carefully.
Yes. A gift of immovable property must be made by a registered instrument attested by at least two witnesses. An unregistered gift deed of immovable property does not transfer ownership.
