The agricultural land can be gifted to your daughter and a gift deed has to be prepared for this.the natural guardian will take take care of the property until the girl is a minor and after she becomes a major she would have full control of the property.

1)A gift to a minor is always valid since a guardian must have been mentioned thereover. However after the gift is registered, the property belongs to the donee, i.e. minor, hence unless the guardian of the minor who was the appointed guardian of the gift deed, decides the property to further gift or sell to anybody else, the property cannot be trasferred. Once the minor becomes major, the roll of the appointed guardian ceases to have any effect. Then the donee can gift or sell to anybody else whoever she wants.

2)Stamp duty is vary from state to state.

Dear Sir,

A minor, being incompetent to contract is incompetent to transfer. A gift by a minoris void. However, a minor can accept gifts. A natural guardian can accept a gift on behalf of a minor with the condition that the person nominated in the gift deed will act as a manager of the gifted property

If you gift to a minor

If the person to whom you gift the property is a minor, you will have to involve his natural guardians. Once the minor attains adulthood, he or she has the right to accept or reject the gift.

 the following ingredients in order to constitute a gift.

  1. There should be a specific property. It means that it should be related to an identifiable property.
  2. The donor should have existing rights over the said property. It cannot be a property which will be vested in him in the future.
  3. The property may be movable or immovable.
  4. The transfer should be made voluntary- not under threat, duress or undue influence.
  5. The transfer should be accepted by the donee.
  6. The acceptance may be made by the donee himself or on his/her behalf if the consent of the donee is not valid in case of being under legal age or due to any other incapacity.

The Act further says that the acceptance should be made during the lifetime of the donor and while he is still capable of giving. This is mentioned in order to contrast it with Will, since only a Will can be used to transfer a property legally after the death of a person. In case the donee dies before giving the acceptance, the legal validity of the deed will be compromised as well.

How To Gift A Property Using A Gift Deed?

Section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act lays down the procedure for gifting a property. It says that an immovable property can be gifted only through a registered instrument called a gift deed.

Registration involves visiting the concerned Sub-registrar office and fulfilling certain procedures along with payment of requisite stamp duty and registration fees. After that, the property title passes on to the donee. According to Indian Laws, immovable property means land and things attached to it including buildings. However, standing timber, grass and growing crops are not considered as immovable property.

A movable property may be gifted just by delivery of physical possession. The process of gifting is as simple as delivery of goods.

Stamp Duty Requirement And Registration

A Gift Deed is a compulsorily registrable document under the Indian Registration Act, 1908. The stamp duty requirements in Gujarat are governed under the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958. Section 28 of the Act says that gift deeds for immovable property should be 3.5 percent of the market value of the property to be gifted.

Hello,

Gift deed can be made through some guardian. 

In India a minor can not enter into a contract therefore some one on her behalf will have to sign and execute the documents.

The property can be transferred to a minor child by a registered gift deed  however a guardian either mother or father can be appointed to take care of the property during the minority of the child.

The cost for this deed can be enquired from the local registrar's office.

1. A gift deed can be executed even in favour of a minor. The title of the gifted property passes instantaneously from the donor to donee, and thereafter donor ceases to have any right, title or interest in the property.

2. Gift deed has to be registered. 

3. Get a flawless gift deed drafted from a lawyer.
