Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether gifting money to your fiancée for a house built on her land constitutes a benami transaction. The consensus is that if the land is in her name, the house is built in her name, and the funds are properly documented as a gift, it is not considered benami. Documenting the gift clearly is key to establishing it as her property and avoiding any benami implications, even after marriage.

Not benami, provided:
The land is in her name
The house is also constructed in her name
The money is properly documented as a gift.

When you gift, it is her property. There is no question of being a benami.

You can gift an amount to her, it will be her property and the land is in her name. So it does not mean benami.

Benami means buying property for non-existing persons
