Stamp Duty

Hi

I have a question of property transaction and stamp duty.

 

1.       X bought a land (it was funded by Y). X is a lady and she wanted to return back the land to Y (her brother).  Because of Sale deed stamp charges are more.

a)      Can Y go for settlement deed or is there another way to register the land from X.?

b)      If Y goes for settlement. Will X’s hier or X’s can cancel the settlement Deed.?

c)       Will X’s hier can claim share on this property.?

d)      Can Y dispose the land at his own decision.?

The normal mode of availing an economical method of duty transfer would be to have a Settlement Deed. Unfortunately, in your case, this would not be possible. Only Settlement Deeds between members of a "family" are entitled to concessional duty tariffs under the Indian Stamp Act, as applicable in the State of Tamil Nadu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you may have guessed, the word "family" is a term of art, and has a restricted definition. Only a father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter and grandchild (including an adopted child) are considered to be "family" for the purpose of the concessional duty tariff. Hence any settlement executed by X would not qualify for the concessional duty tariff.

Thanks Mr. Prakas and Mr. patil for enlighting me on this subject.

 

Just to clarify:

Registration are accepted in Registration for settlement deed between brothers and sisters. Authorities say, their is a GO for this. I had personally seen the registration done between married brother and sisters.

Those registration of settlement deed is valid or not?
