A.Dear client,
Gift Deed: Although a transfer of property through a gift deed can provide legal documentation and clarity regarding ownership, the requirement for a gift deed may vary depending on the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction. In some cases, a transfer of property may be valid even without a registered gift deed, especially if there is clear evidence of transfer and acceptance of ownership. However, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific requirements and implications in your jurisdiction.
Tax Liability on Selling the Plot: If you decide to sell the plot, you may be subject to capital gains tax on the profit made from the sale. Capital gains tax laws vary by jurisdiction, so it's crucial to consult with a tax professional familiar with the tax regulations in your area. Generally, capital gains are categorized as either short-term or long-term, depending on the holding period of the property. Short-term capital gains are typically taxed at a higher rate than long-term capital gains. The calculation and applicable tax rates can vary, so professional advice is essential.
Exemptions and Deductions: There may be certain exemptions or deductions available under the tax laws in your jurisdiction. For example, some countries provide exemptions for the sale of a residential property if certain conditions are met (e.g., if the property has been held for a certain period as a primary residence). These exemptions can help reduce the tax liability on the sale of the property. Again, consulting with a tax professional will provide you with specific information based on your circumstances.
Compliance and Reporting: When selling a property, it is important to comply with all applicable tax laws and reporting requirements. Failure to report the sale or pay the necessary taxes can lead to penalties and legal consequences. Ensure that you maintain proper records and report the sale accurately as required by the tax authorities in your jurisdiction.

A.Dear Client,
The title of immovable property is not transferred to another person without registration as required u/s.17 of the Registration Act, 1908. So, a registered Deed of Gift is required to be the owner of the property and for transfer of title of the property to another person. Getting ownership of the property, in case you sell it within 3 years, you will be liable for paying tax for short-term capital gain(STCG) and if you sell beyond 3 years then you will be liable for payment Long term Capital Gain(LTCG). Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
