Exchange of property

Hi,

I would like to know if a residential property can be exchanged for the commercial property in mumbai where both the properties have the same area. What is the procedure for it. And how would the tax be attracted.

Yes, the subject of an exchange can be any immovable or movable property. Any immovable property, the possession of which is not in dispute, and thus can be transferred by means of sale, gift-deed etc can also be exchanged with another immovable property meeting the same requirements.

You enter into an exchange deed with the owner of that property and get it registered in the sub-registrar’s office. Both the parties will be required to pay the stamp duty only once (of the property with the greater value,) and you’re good to go.
