GOVT. WAIVES STAMP DUTY ON TRANSFER OF LAND / FLAT TO KIN or FAMILY MEMBERS
Hon’ble Revenu Minister Eknath Khadase announced in Assembly on 25-03–2015 that Govt. waives stamp duty on transfer of land or flat immovable property to Kin or family members. He announced that now immovable property such as land, house or flat can be transferred to Owner’s Children or even to blood relatives simply by executing transfer deed on Rs. 500/- stamp paper without paying stamp duty and registration fee. This announcement will give good relief to the families of transferors as they will not require to pay 5% stamp duty at market value as per ready Reckoner. Minister further clarified that in such an event it will be sufficient if transfer document is executed on Rs.. 500/- stamp-paper.
He further clarified that the decision to waive stamp duty on property transferred to heirs is taken on account of large complaints received from farmers who were otherwise unable to transfer farming land to their family members due to heavy stamp duty for such transactions. H’ble Chief Minister on another issue of TDR clarified in the assembly that Govt. is framing a new policy by which TDR will be indexed to the Ready Reckoner rate in order to prevent developers earning buge income from use of TDR of one area to another. The Ready Reckoner rate of the area where it is being utilized will now apply. S.S. Mahajan Source Times of India dt. 26-3-2015

My Father due to financial issues wanted to transfer a small Flat in my name and a small gala in my mother’s name to avoid being confiscated by bank.In this case do we both have to pay stamp duty,registration charges and if yes what is the percent and what more charges or expenses have to be paid.
The Agent said that since the properties were in Father’s business name,a proprietorship by his name(the proprietorship shut many years back,he had constructed buildings and sold off all flats and galas except these 2) hence he cannot transfer the properties from proprietorship as Gift to us though daughter and wife.
I would like to know is this true? Father and proprietor of that business(the proprietorship does not exist now) being the same person,can he transfer the properties as GIFT to us ?
Pls reply urgently as the agent demanded Rs.1,11,000 as stamp duty,registration expenses and Rs.25000 as “other expenses” totalling to Rs.1,36,000 for both properties without giving proper details of other expenses.
