Percentage of Stamp duty is nominal for gifts between blood relations, you have not stated where the property is situate since rate of stamp duty varies from state to state.

pls refer Karnataka Stamp Act. I know that except 2 (b) the donee does not pay any other stamp duty.

My view is that except Rs.1000/- donee need not to pay anthing stamp duty on registration

Mr Basavaraj

The Rs.1,000 you are speaking about is stamp duty. It cannot be registration charges when you are referring to the Karnataka Stamp Act. Please go through the act coolly. It seems you are confused.
Basavaraj (Expert) 09 March 2011
either stamp duty or registration charges whatever it is charges shall not exceed s.1000/-at the time of registration of Gift deed when Gift Deed is executing with family members.

Mr Basvaraj,

It looks you are making posts just for sake of arguement. Being a professional you ought to know the difference between two legistations which are enacted separately. It is not what it costs for registering the document. Both are independent of each other. As professionals we have to know law better when we advise our clients.
Basavaraj (Expert) 09 March 2011
My Dear A V VISHAL,

I don't know that you are belongs to which State or Country. Tanks if you are in India.

I would like to take your suggestion or advice or whatever it is, your advice does not make any difference.

Being a professional you also ought to know the difference between the procedure and transactions in various stats.

I have registered lot of Gift Deeds among the family members where minimum Rs.1000/- paid as registration charges.

I do agree with section 2 of KA Stamp Act and your link.

You have failed understand the difference between stamp duty and registration charges.

Please understand the LAW properly that when gift deed is getting registered with family members the stamp duty does not attract, in that case registration charges is applicable and registration charges will be paid to Govt not stamp duty.

Please open your two eyes properly and go through or read the attached documents and understand.

In first page of attached file - where I have recently registered Gift Deed in Bangalore. In caloum 1 says in Kannada that " Noddana Sulkha" means registration charges - Rs.500 and service charges Rs.210 total Rs.710.

In second page total amount for Gift Deed registration charges including printing charges paid Rs.1,120/-.

I think now you might have clearly understood the difference between stamp duty and registration charges payable on Gift Deed.
Being a professional be read and understand the law of land properly before posting or advising to other person. Don not try to confuse the clients and learned members of LCI. Always advice in right manner if other members view wrong and post with smooth manner.
