I am a Bengalee.I own a house at Pondicherry. I wanted to gift my house to a local Tamil lady. We approached a lawyer at Pondicherry who is also Tamil. He suggested that in the deed let us show I owe her 18 Lkh and as I cannot repay I am giving the house in lieu of. I agreed. He drafted the agreement in Tamil and explained me. I demanded an English translation. He took 1300 for it. After one month when I came to Pondicherry it was not ready. He along with the lady co-oerced me to sign the agreement with a promise that he will supply me the English version. At the registrar office when they asked for PAN card I sensed something wrong. I asked him whether I will come under capital gains tax. He assured me negetive. I wanted an assurance in writing from the lady that she will reimburse all the taxes due. On her behlaf lawyer assured me. Till today I have not got any paper. I do not know what is written in the deed. I want to know if any action can be taken by Bar council for this deficiency of service?
