Quick Summary

In West Bengal, a gift deed allows property transfer as a gift without consideration. For stamp duty purposes at 0.5%, close family members typically include parents, siblings, spouse, and children. Your brother's wife is generally not considered a family member for this specific concession. Gift deeds must be registered as per the Registration Act, 1908.

No. To my best, only the father, mother, brother, sister, wife, son, and daughter are the family members for levy of stamp duty at 0.5% on the Market Value of the property in West Bengal.

Gift Deed is a document that transfers property to another owner as a gift. A Gift Deed is valid only when it is without any consideration in return by one family member/ friend to another. It is mandatory to register Gift Deed, according to Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908.
