Under section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, your mother can transfer the said property through a Gift Deed. The value of the Gift deed is same like a Sale Deed.The difference between the two is only that the gift deed allows transfer of ownership without any exchange of money.

The complete details of the said property should be given in the Gift deed like like a sale deed including the full details of your mother and yours and the reasons of transfer in your name.

You should know that registering a gift deed with the sub-registrar is mandatory as per section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, and as per section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act. If you don’t do this, the transfer will be invalid.

Stamp duty and registration fee has to be paid to register a gift deed. Certain state governments offer some concession if the property is being gifted to blood relatives. In West Bengal, the stamp duty perhaps is 5% of the property’s market value in panchayat areas, and 6% of market value in municipal areas.

Better to take services of an expert/lawyer of your area for the same.

Under section 122 of transfer of properties act,1882 gift deed can be made and it has to be registered with the sub registrar under provision of section 17 registration act and 123 TOPA,1882.

Stamp duty has to be paid to register gift deed.

In West Bengal stamp duty for same is 0.5% of market value if it is transfered to family member. So in ur case 0.5% will only be charged

1. Your lawyer shall first draft the gift deed to be registered by your mother.

2. Then you or your lawyer shall submit the said draft of the gift deed along with the query sheet, before the Registrar and after few days, the Registrar's office will approve the draft gift deed and inform in writing the amount you shall have to pay to the Registrar towards stamp duty and registration fee.

3. Thereafter you shall have to remit the said amount towards stamp duty and registration fee on line to the accounts maintained in any one of the 16 Banks.

4. On the final day, both you and your mother shall have to appear before the Registrar to register the said Gift Deed after which you shall become the title holder of the said property.

5. You shall have to pay the said stamp duty and registration fee directly to the Government in addition to the lawyers fee which is ordinarily 1.5% of the value of the property as accessed by the Registrar.

1. What is there to be scared of registering the gift deed in your favour?

2. The steps to be taken for completing the registration has already been enumerated in my earlier post.

3. Your mother shall have to go to the Registrar's office only once and in special case, registration can be be done at your house also which is termed as commissioning wherein the Sub-Registrar will come to your house against payment of extra amount to be fixed by them based on the distance of your house from the Registrar's office.

4. The amount to be spent by you will be the stamp duty which will be just 1% of the value of the property as assessed by the registrar and the registration fee to be directly paid to the Registrar. In addition to the said expenses you shall have to pay 1.5% of the value of the property assessed, to the lawyer for drafting the gift deed and completing the entire registration procedure.

5. Your registration can be done either at the Registrar's office at Alipore or at Registrar of Assurance's office at Dalhousie which is a regular matter for any lawyer.

You may go to Sub Registrar of sub division or Registrar at District Headquarters. Find a Deed/document writer and ask him to made gift deed. Deed/Documents writers will arrange for the registration with Sub Registrar. This has to be done after paying the stamp duty and registration charges as may be applicable in the state of West Bengal.

i am scared bcoz i do not know any lawyer in the city ;also i am scared as i do not know any tit bits of law - Don't get scared and if you get scared, you cannot achieve anything now and hereafter. Search online and speak to few lawyers before finalizing one.

Don't go with the cost alone as you will get peanuts.

Negotiate for a reasonable fee.

In our state, there will be typists near the SRO and they will have a format and an agent who will get the stamp paper printed, signed, witnessed and then take you to SRO to get the deed executed.

Go to the SRO where property is located and speak to someone, you will get an idea before hunting for lawyers.

Are you scared now?????????

1. Your mother is free to execute a registered gift deed in your favour. On the execution of the gift deed the title in the property passes instantaneously to the donee whereupon the donor ceases to have any right, title or interest in the property.

2. Many Kolkata based lawyers such as Mr.KK Ganguly and Devajyoti Burman are on this portal. You may engage any one of them.

Madam

As your mother wants to gift her landed property to you that is within the blood relation, so the stamp duty is 05% and registration fee is 1% and Advocate fees vary from 05-1%.

The essential of a valid gift is the free will of the donor to the Donee.

Thanks
