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.
