Dear memebers,

For gift to a minor, the minor should be acting through a natural guarduan and the acceptance shoul;d be thr such guardian. Suppose a father has gifted money to a minor girl, can the father himself act as donor as well as guardian for such minor OR the guardian in the gift dded has to be a different person say mother of the monor.Pls clarify this point.

Secondly, whether the gift deed of money is required to be registered.

Yes the father can act both as donor and guardian. A gift deed for money or other movable assets need not be registered only gift deed for immovable assets needs to be registered.
