When you need it

Use this one when the family member's own claim is disputed or uncertain and they are giving up whatever right they actually have, without warranting a clear share; use the Relinquishment Deed (Haq Tyag), Release Deed by a Co-Owner or Relinquishment of an Inheritance instead where the share being released is clear, known and undisputed. One family member gives up whatever right they actually have in a disputed family-property claim — without warranting they owned the whole property.

Treated in Punjab/Chandigarh as a limited release (Article 55, section 17(1)(b)), not a distinct "quit claim" category — it doesn't promise good title. State the claim source, the releasee's existing interest, consideration and reserved rights. Punjab authority property still needs section 43(7) permission; Chandigarh sector property needs an Estate Office update after registration.

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 55, Schedule I-A, Indian Stamp Act 1899 — duty is remitted IN WHOLE on a lifetime transfer to a "blood relation" (child, grandchild, brother, sister; parent/spouse NOT covered — Order S.O.28/C.A.2/1899/S.9/2014); otherwise no published rate — ask the Sub-Registrar. Duty runs on consideration or Collector rate, whichever higher. Chandigarh: blood-relation transfers are exempt; its calculator shows Rs 15 (simple release) or 8%/6% (unancestral, in/outside MC area) — confirm first. Stamp at signing (section 17); understamped, inadmissible until cured (section 35).

Registration

Compulsorily registrable under section 17(1)(b) where an immovable right or claim is extinguished (section 23). Fee: Punjab 1% (min Rs 50, max Rs 2,00,000) plus Rs 200 pasting; Chandigarh 1% capped at Rs 10,000 plus Rs 20 pasting.

Punjab: No separate statutory quit-claim category was identified; this instrument is treated by substance as a release under Article 55. Where it extinguishes an immovable right or claim, section 17(1)(b) requires registration, with section 23 four-month presentation. Punjab authority property remains subject to section 43(7). The stamping note sets out the Article 55 position, including the Punjab blood-relation remission, and the registration note gives the fee.

Chandigarh: The instrument is likewise treated by substance as a release under Article 55. Section 17(1)(b) requires registration where an immovable claim is extinguished. Sector property must be reflected in the Estate Office file. The stamping and registration notes give the Chandigarh lines.
