When you need it

Gifting agricultural land needs revenue identifiers, not a postal address — ss.122-123: acceptance, registration, two witnesses. Schedule by village, hadbast, khewat/khatauni, khasra, area; disclose cultivation/tenancy. Chandigarh revenue villages keep records; a sector plot is never jamabandi property.

Registration is followed by the local revenue-record update. Whether Punjab's blood-relation remission reaches farmland is unconfirmed.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Punjab: Article 33 — 5% (consideration/Collector rate, higher) + 1% cess + 1% PIDB + 0.25% SIDF = 7.25%. Blood-relation remission (Order S.O.28/2014, children/grandchildren/siblings) may not reach farmland — orders behind it name only residential/commercial/industrial; confirm with the Sub-Registrar (can't remit the 2 infrastructure levies anyway). Reg. fee 1% (min Rs 50, max Rs 2L). Chandigarh: 5% (item 2) or blood-relation exemption (item 24) — unclear for farmland; confirm at Sector 17; contested (portals say 6%). Reg. fee 1%, capped Rs 10,000 + Rs 20 pasting, payable even if exempt. Stamp before/at signing (s.17); unstamped inadmissible until penalty paid (s.35).

Registration

Compulsory (s.123, TP Act; s.17, Registration Act); 4-month window to present (s.23), limited extension (s.25).

Notarisation

Does not replace compulsory registration.

Witnesses

Two attesting witnesses required (s.123).

PROPERTY SCHEDULE

North Plot 117; South Plot 119; East road; West green belt

REVENUE DESCRIPTION

District/revenue area: X. Tehsil: X. Village: X. Hadbast: X. Khewat/khatauni: X. Khasra/area: X.

CULTIVATION

Status: Donor is in self-cultivation or possession as recorded.. After registration, the ownership update will be taken through the correct revenue-record process for the parcel.

REVENUE PARCEL IDENTITY

The gift is tied to the actual revenue estate and parcel identifiers. Khasra, khewat, khatauni and area should match the title/revenue chain so that registration is not followed by a mutation application for a different parcel.

CULTIVATION RIGHTS

Existing lawful cultivation or tenancy is disclosed rather than erased by recital. A change of ownership does not by itself manufacture vacant possession where another person has a subsisting right recorded or proved independently.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Sections 122 and 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 define a gift and require a gift of immovable property to be made by a registered instrument signed by or for the donor and attested by at least two witnesses. The jurisdictional Sub-Registrar receives a registrable property instrument under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908; section 23 gives four months for presentation and section 25 contains the limited further-period route. The jurisdictional Sub-Registrar handles registration; the precise post-registration revenue mutation fee/time limit was not confirmed. A refusal to register follows sections 72 or 73 of the Registration Act, 1908 according to the ground of refusal.

Chandigarh: Sections 122 and 123 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 define a gift and require a gift of immovable property to be made by a registered instrument signed by or for the donor and attested by at least two witnesses. The Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh receives a registrable property instrument under the Registration Act, 1908. For a sector/estate property, the registered result must also be reflected in the Estate Office file under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007. Only Chandigarh revenue-village land uses revenue records; sector property does not. A refusal to register follows sections 72 or 73 of the Registration Act, 1908 according to the ground of refusal.
