The auction purchaser has got the authority to say in whose name he would like to register the property. The Official Liquidator is only concerned whether the auction purchaser participated in the tender process, whether he is the highest bidder, whether he fulfilled all the conditions, and whether he made the full payment of the bid amount within the stipulated time. Once this basic conditions are fulfilled and satisfied, then in whose name the property is getting registered, or who pays the stamp duty etc. is not the concern of anybody. There is no violation of company law, stamp act or income tax act if the property is registered in anybody else's name as suggested by the auction purchaser, or if the stamp duty amount is paid by any third party. All that is required is whether the stamp duty is paid or not. That's all.

definitely income tax act and stamp act have a say.since nominee registration gives scope for sale to another person evading stamp duty and black money transaction. how anybody can give a property free of cost to a third party.the matter needs to be explored further and above advt of official liquidator karnataka may be refered.
