I wish to know how do we transfer a property share from a son to father. I am joint owner of flat with my mother in Mumbai. I wish to transfer the rights to my father as I have shifted out states. I want to know how can we avoid any tax on this.
Is there a way in which I can resign from my membership and my mother becomes the full owner of the flat

I think you could execute a Deed of Gift which saves a lot of stamp duty.
If the flat is of any Society then after the transfer you have to resin from the membership and then your father can become a member on the strength of that gift deed.

I am sorry Mr. Pawan Sharma. Gift to relative is only 0.5% on the market value of the property in West Bengal. In other case it is 6%.
