• Release Deed or Gift Deed

Hi Team,
Need expert advice on below 
My husband is a co-owner on one of my property and wants to change the ownership to me completely .
What i heard is it draws additional Stamp duty charges / Registration charges . Some data i checked online says that there is no stampduty charges in Maharashtra 
The property is still under construction , would that be a hindrance.
Could you please guide what is the most appropriate and feasible way to get this done.

Thanks in advance

Please ask him to WILL it out clearly mentioning you as sole owner. No registration of WILL No Stamp Duty on WILL.

You have to pay a lawyer who may finalize WILL as per your requirements. No hessel and problem with WILL.

The WILL is safe and secured without approaching for registration and payment of stamp duty.

At the time of registration of property your husband can issue NOC to the builder to register the property to your name because the property under construction is yet to be registered on the buyer.

1. Husband may execute a Registered Gift Deed of his 50% share of under construction property to you, which shall be Final & Irrefutable for all future legal purposes.

2. In Maharashtra, for Gift Deed, between Husband to Wife:

Stamp Duty = 200/-

Registration Fees = 200/-

3. Release Deed is not applicable for joint properties, while either party is alive.

- If the said property already executed in name of you both , then legally he is a joint owner of the property .

- Further , for making you single owner of the property , either he executed a Relinquishment or Gift deed in your favour .

- Further , as per section 17 of the Registration , both should be registered from the office of the Registrar after paying the stamp duty over the same. otherwise having no value in the eye of law. 

- For registration being blood related , you have to pay 1% of government rate of that property. in Maharashtra.

Your husband can transfer his right in the property to you by a gift deed

Gift deed between spouses attracts stamp duty of only Rs 200 and nominal registration fee of Rs 1000

As property is still under construction, the builder's noc will have to be taken

The above concessional stamp duty is applicable only for transfer of residential property and not commercial property
