This query is : Resolved
I planning to Gift a agricultural property to Nephew, who is resident Indian.
On enquiry, I heard that I cannot gift a property to Nephew, (this may lead to avoidance of Stamp duty) and therefore, it has to be under sale deed.
The gifting of property is available or made possible only to blood relations; therefore the next possible way is only to create a will.
Now the querry is - is it so any legal law which says Agricultural property cannot be gifted to Newphew.. if so, how can I transfer the propert to my nephew. vetrans please advise.

Where the property is situated? In some states, there is minimum stamp duty for gifts given to blood relations i.e. father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister......etc., and for other than the blood relation, 3% to 5% and for outsiders as a sale prescribed in the State concerned. So consult in local SRO.

You can gift. However, there could be no concession in stamp duty.
