Hello Mam,

Unregistered gift deed has no legal sanctity in the eyes of Law. under section 17 of the registration act gift deed of immovable property is required to be compulsory registered.

I hope it helps. 

Regards.

Without getting the Gift deed registered by your father in favour of you and your mother, you cannot sell the property.  The Gift deed is compulsorily registerable document under Sec.17 of Registration Act, 1908.

The gift deed can not be acted upon.

Now the only remedy open is to ask your Father to register the same in your ( and mothers) name.
And then go ahead.

Or if your Father is willing to sell that flat to the purchaser and proceeds thereof ( sale price amount) is going to be deposited in your account, then you can save the Stamp duty.
Hence, act early.
