Gifting house to sister, tax applicable

(Querist) 01 November 2019 This query is : Resolved 
We are from Indore, House purchased 40 years back by my Maternal Uncle (Mama) is gifted to My mother two years back. We are living in same house since purchased i;e 40 years back, Whereas Uncle is living in Maharashtra.

Tow years back Uncle write on a plain paper with signature that they are gifting this house to Sister.

Now as there is no legal value of that paper, We want to properly registered it to registrar office.

Please guide the process and the tax applicable on it, We have not much money, please suggest where less tax to be paid.

Thanks

Ji, gifted the property through a white paper is no sanctity. Your uncle (mother's brother) has to execute a Gift deed in favour of his sister (your mother). The stamp duty in favour of family members is 2.5% of stamp duty shall be leviable on the Market value of the property besides registration fee and user charges. consult local senior Document writer or a lawyer having knowledge in drafting documents.

Pay appropriate Stamp Duty and Registration charges as applicable in Madhya Pardesh for the gifted property otherwise, it is no gift.

Thanks for your valuable feed back.
Stamp duty on market value, or as per the guidelines of government, and is there any depreciation of property value, as it is 50 years old house.

as it is state subject inquire in the SRO concerned. so 5% to 20% depreciation may be allowed but not sure.

Contact jurisdictional Sub-registrar's office reg. valuation of land & building at prevailing rate only after which fees & stamp duty can be determined as per state rules for execution of suitable Gift Deed by your Uncle.

The conveyance could be only through a gift deed. In many States, stamp duty payable is only nominal for gift deed in specified cases. You may inquire with the Registration. Most probably, information could be accessed on the internet.

You could go for Executing an Settlement Deed instead of Gift Deed for which the Registration Cost is very less in many States
