gift acceptance letter

When you need it

Records that the donee, guardian or trustee accepted the gift during the donor's lifetime — essential under s.122, TP Act 1882 (a donee dying first voids the gift). Doesn't cure the deed, which still needs registration and two witnesses (s.123).

Useful where the deed's acceptance wording is thin, or a guardian/trustee accepts. Name the deed, property and capacity; no new terms. Same law both jurisdictions.

What is the deed execution date? 1 April 2026

EVIDENCE OF TIMELY ACCEPTANCE

The letter records acceptance of the gift described in the registered or proposed deed. It should be kept with evidence that acceptance occurred while the donor was alive and capable of giving, because a later letter cannot retrospectively create acceptance after the statutory window has closed.

NO NEW TERMS

The accepting party does not use this letter to rewrite the gift, add consideration or introduce a burden absent from the deed. If the parties want to alter the transfer, they need the legal instrument appropriate to that change.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 requires acceptance during the donor lifetime while the donor is capable of giving. Section 123 requires the underlying immovable-property gift deed to be registered and attested by two witnesses; this letter is only evidence of acceptance. No statutory filing fee or appeal route applies to this separate letter.

Chandigarh: Sections 122 and 123 apply in the same way. This letter does not replace registration before the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh or the later Estate Office update for a sector/estate property. No statutory filing fee or appeal route applies to the letter itself.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this acceptance letter is to identify the donor, donee, underlying gift and the person who records acceptance of the transferred property interest.
