This discussion clarifies the process of gifting equity shares to a brother in Maharashtra via a Gift Deed. While a Gift Deed isn't strictly necessary for movable assets like shares, if one is used, it should be executed on a Rs. 100 stamp. Stamp duty may be around 4-5% of the market value, and registration of the Gift Deed is generally required for equity shares. It's advised to consult a local lawyer due to state-specific stamp duty laws.
