Can i gift deed 5 guntha of agricultural land to my father in maharashtra?

Hello,

I have a General Power of Attorney on my name for an 5 guntha agricultural land in Satara, Maharashtra. 

I am not able to transfer the title to my name due to gunthewari rule in Maharashtra. 

Can I gift deed the land to my father? Will I be able to transfer the title on his name?

You can gift the agricultural land to your father through a gift deed in Maharashtra. Here's what you need to know.

 *Stamp Duty*: The stamp duty for a gift deed in Maharashtra is 3% of the property's value. However, if the property is gifted to a blood relative, such as a father, the stamp duty is reduced to Rs 200 for residential or agricultural properties. -

*Registration Charges*: Registration charges are 1% of the property value. - 

*Documents Required*: To register a gift deed, you'll need: -

 *Identity Proof*: PAN card, Aadhaar card, or driving license for both donor and donee. -

*Previous Sale Deed*: Original documents related to the ownership of the property. - 

*Gift Deed*: A gift deed drafted with complete details of the donor, donee, and the property. 

- *Process*: The gift deed needs to be registered with the Sub-Registrar's Office (SRO) where the property is located. Both parties must be present during registration. 

- *Title Transfer*: After registering the gift deed, your father can transfer the title to his name. You'll need to submit the gift deed and other required documents to the relevant authorities.

 *Additional Considerations*

- *Gunthewari Rule*: Although the gunthewari rule may pose challenges in transferring the title directly, gifting the land to your father might provide an alternative solution. Consult a local lawyer to ensure compliance with specific regulations. 

- *Tax Implications*: Gifts received from blood relatives are generally exempt from income tax. However, consult a tax expert to confirm the implications in your specific situation.
