RECORD PARTICULARS

How is absence of consideration stated? Gift is voluntary and without consideration
What does donor state about capacity? Donor is competent and acts voluntarily without coercion
How is acceptance recorded? Donee accepts the gift during donor lifetime
REVOCATION IS EXCEPTIONAL
The starting point is that a completed gift is not revocable at pleasure. The deed therefore identifies the exact section 126 mechanism or rescission ground before describing any title consequence.
DISPUTED TITLE SAFEGUARD
Where the donee denies the alleged event or ground, this instrument is evidence of the donor position rather than a declaration that title has already reverted. The public record should change only through a lawful consensual instrument, adjudication or other recognised route.
LEGAL BASIS
Punjab: Section 126 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 governs revocation and rejects a power revocable merely at the donor will. Where a lawful instrument itself extinguishes rights created by a registered immovable-property gift, section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 applies and section 23 gives four months for presentation. For authority-allotted property, the Punjab development-authority file must also reflect the lawful result. A refusal to register follows sections 72 or 73 of the Registration Act, 1908 according to the ground of refusal. Separately, where the donor is a senior citizen and the gift was made subject to the condition that the donee provide the donor with basic amenities and basic physical needs, section 23(1) of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 lets the Maintenance Tribunal declare the transfer void, at the donor's option, if the donee refuses or fails to provide them. The condition must be written into the transfer itself (Sudesh Chhikara v. Ramti Devi, 2022). That is an application to the Tribunal, which this instrument cannot replace.
