The term Family is not defined under the Registration Act. So you have to consider the circumstances of each case separately to assign the meaning to the term family. For example, if you want to register a partition deed of the joint Hindu family property, you have take the meaning of the term Joint family under Hindu Law. If you take a narrow meaning Family would mean children and their parents. In a broad sense it may include grand children, grand parents also. It has to be interpreted with reference to the context.

As per Stamp fee Act,Definition of FAMILY is:

EXPLANATION For the purpose of this Article Family means father, mother, husband, wife, brother, sister, son, daughter, and includes grand-father, grand- mother, grand-child, adoptive father or mother, adopted son or daughter.

Can this be safely used for Registration also!

Thanking you all for the Participation in the discussion.
