A property owner is seeking a bank guarantee using a gift deed but was told an absolute sale deed for the entire site is required. While a gift deed is a valid title document like a sale deed, banks may have specific procedural requirements. If the gift deed is for a specific portion, it should suffice for a loan on that share. If it's a joint gift deed, legal advice from the bank's lawyer is recommended regarding mortgaging a share. Obtaining a copy of a registered document by a property owner is generally not illegal.
