No. To my best, only the father, mother, brother, sister, wife, son, and daughter are the family members for levy of stamp duty at 0.5% on the Market Value of the property in West Bengal.

Gift Deed is a document that transfers property to another owner as a gift. A Gift Deed is valid only when it is without any consideration in return by one family member/ friend to another. It is mandatory to register Gift Deed, according to Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908.
