What should be the value of stamp paper if the gift value is Rs. 1 Lac? Is it 1% of gift amount ie Rs.1000/-?
Is it mandatory to get the gift deed notarized?

well it also depends if the donee is the member of the family or not
a) where the donee is not a family member of the donee
The same duty as a conveyance (article no. 20) for a market value of the property which is the subject matter of the gift .:
provide that where an instrument of gift contains any provision for the revocation of the gift, the value of the property which is the subject matter of the gift , shall for the purposes of duty be determined as if no such provison were contained in the instrument .
b)Where the donee is a member of the family of the donor

Rate of stamp duty differs state to state.
If the gift is within the family, then irrespective of the value of the property, a maximum stamp duty of Rs.10,000/- is payable in Tamilnadu.
If the gift is not within the family, it is to be treated as conveyance attracting 8% stamp duty.
Gift deed is not required to be notarised. It is a document required to be registered compulsorily.
