Gift Deed Stamp Duty in Haryana: No Duty for Blood Relations
Checked against official government sources. General information, not legal or financial advice.
Haryana does not charge stamp duty when property is transferred to a blood relation: parents, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, or a spouse. The waiver has been in force since 2014, and a later clarification confirmed that grandchildren through a daughter are also covered. The registration fee is still payable. Gifts to anyone else pay stamp duty.

Gift deed stamp duty in Haryana

|---|---|
| Blood relation: parent, child, grandchild (through a son or daughter), brother, sister or spouse | Nil (100% waiver) |
| Anyone else, urban area | 5% (gift deed rate) |
| Anyone else, rural area | 3% (gift deed rate) |
Who counts as family in Haryana
The 2014 waiver covers transfers in favour of specified blood relations: parents, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and spouses. Grandchildren through daughters were confirmed by a later corrigendum. Keep proof of the relationship ready for the sub-registrar.

Even when stamp duty is waived, Haryana’s slab-based registration fee applies. See the slabs in our Haryana stamp duty guide.
Worked example
A father in Gurugram gifts his ₹1.5 crore flat to his son: stamp duty is nil, and only the registration fee from the slab table is paid. The same flat gifted to a friend in an urban area would attract 5% stamp duty, ₹7.5 lakh, plus the registration fee.
Rules every gift deed must follow
- A gift of immovable property must be made by a registered deed, signed by the donor and attested by two witnesses.
- The person receiving the gift must accept it while the donor is alive; a gift deed is not a substitute for a will.
- A gift is voluntary and without payment. If money is paid, the deal is treated as a sale and sale stamp duty applies.
- Once registered, a gift can be cancelled only in narrow cases (for example, where the deed itself allows it on a condition, or fraud or undue influence is proved).
- Not sure whether to gift now or leave the property by will? Read our gift deed vs will comparison.
Income tax on gifted property
Property received from a relative (spouse, parents, children, siblings and other relatives listed in the Income Tax Act) is not taxed in the hands of the person receiving it. If the person giving the gift is not a relative and the stamp duty value is above ₹50,000, that value is taxable for the receiver under Section 56(2)(x). When the receiver later sells, the donor’s original cost and holding period are used to work out capital gains.
