Confirmation of Gift - stamp paper?

The procedure to be followed for registration of shares gifted is same as the procedure for a normal transfer. Stamp duty is also applicable in case of gifted shares.

Thanks sir, but you havent answered my main query - is it obligatory for Confirmation of Gift to be made on stamp paper? Will be obliged for an answer.

The legal status of a Gift Deed is equivalent of a Contract and would be covered by the provisions of the Contract Act, as far as Plain paper and non-witness are concerned. In simple terms : Plain paper = Invalid document No Witness = Invalid document In Mumbai-Maharashtra, it is essential to register every deed (gift deed, sale deed, lease deed, ...) with the revenue registrar's office. In Mumbai-Maharashtra, it is essential to pay Stamp Duty to register every deed (gift deed, sale deed, lease deed, ...) under the Stamp duty Act. In other words : No Stamp-Duty = Invalid document No Registration fee = Invalid document There are multiple Acts and Sections that can be used to negativate the opponents contention and whereas I would say that the Civil court will not be able to take it on record, once you file your written objections as above. U can also take recourse under the HinduSuccessionAct, as a legal heir, stating first right, in the said property. U would have to have a one-to-one sitting with a seasoned lawyer to fix this simple problem. Keep Smiling ... Hemant Agarwal
