Gift Deed


A Gift Deed is a legal document that formalizes the voluntary transfer of property or assets from one person (the donor) to another (the recipient) without any exchange of money, outlining the terms and conditions of the gift, and ensuring it is executed according to legal requirements.

Details

A Gift Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of movable or immovable property from a donor to a donee without any exchange of money or consideration. It is executed voluntarily and is often done out of love, affection, charity, or goodwill. A properly drafted gift deed ensures a hassle-free transfer and eliminates future disputes.

Why is a Gift Deed Important?

A gift deed serves the following purposes:

  • Legal Evidence: Acts as proof of the transfer of ownership from the donor to the donee.

  • Tax Implications: Helps in availing exemptions under the Income Tax Act.

  • Irrevocable Transfer: Once executed and registered, it is irrevocable unless challenged in court.

  • Property Registration: Necessary for the registration of the gifted property in the donee’s name.
