Gift Deed

Overview
What this deed actually does
A gift deed is the legal instrument that transfers ownership of movable or immovable property from the donor to the donee without consideration.
For immovable property, the deed must be registered with the sub-registrar to be valid — an unregistered gift of property doesn't transfer title.
Stamp duty applies as per the state schedule; several states offer concessional rates for gifts to close relatives.
Gifts to specified relatives are generally exempt from income tax in the donee's hands; other gifts above the threshold can be taxable.
The deed must record voluntary transfer, acceptance by the donee, and clear identification of the property.
Benefits
Why families get this done through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Title that actually transfers
We ensure drafting, stamp duty, and registration are all correct — so the donee's ownership is beyond question.
Stamp duty optimised legally
We apply the correct state schedule and relative-based concessions, so you pay what's due — not more.
Tax position clarified
We explain the income tax and capital gains implications for both donor and donee before the deed is signed.
Future disputes prevented
Clear recitals of voluntariness and acceptance shut down the most common grounds for challenging gifts.
Documents
What documents do you need for a Gift Deed?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Gift Deed process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Confirm the gift is valid
We verify the donor owns the property, the donee accepts the gift, and the transfer is voluntary and without consideration — the three essentials under Sections 122-129 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.
We draft the gift deed
Our lawyers draft the deed covering donor and donee details, property description, the voluntary nature of the gift, acceptance, and any conditions. First draft typically takes 2-3 working days.
Stamp duty assessment
Gift deeds must be registered and stamped. Many states offer concessional stamp duty for gifts between blood relatives — we calculate the exact duty for your state and relationship.
Registration at the Sub-Registrar
Donor and donee appear before the Sub-Registrar with witnesses and register the deed. Registration is mandatory — an unregistered gift of immovable property is invalid under the Registration Act, 1908.
Tax and mutation guidance
We brief you on tax implications — gifts from specified relatives are exempt from income tax in the donee's hands — and on mutating the property records in the donee's name.

Showing 7 of 7 answers
For immovable property, yes — registration is required for the transfer to be legally valid. For movable property, delivery with a written deed generally suffices.
It varies by state and by relationship — many states charge concessional rates for gifts between close relatives. We compute the exact duty for your case.
Gifts from specified relatives (parents, siblings, spouse, etc.) are exempt. Gifts from others above the annual threshold are taxable as income. We confirm your position.
Generally no, once accepted and registered — revocation is possible only in narrow circumstances like fraud or undue influence. That's why proper drafting matters.
It's complicated — the lender's consent is typically needed, and the liability question must be addressed in the deed. Talk to us before proceeding.
Typically 2–4 weeks from clear title to registered deed, depending on registration slot availability.
A gift deed transfers ownership immediately; a will takes effect after death. Gifts are irrevocable once completed; wills can be changed anytime.
