Family property-transfer stamp-duty waiver clarified

Haryana confirmed that the family-transfer exemption also covers grandchildren through daughters.

Haryana clarified that the full stamp-duty exemption for lifetime transfer of immovable property within a family extends to a daughter’s children as well. This includes dohata-dohati or nati-natin, removing ambiguity about whether only descendants through sons were covered. The clarification is important for families executing gift or transfer deeds and reflects equal treatment of grandchildren through daughters. For HSSC, remember that the announcement concerns lifetime family property transfers, full stamp-duty exemption and the inclusion of a daughter’s children. Financial Commissioner Revenue Dr. Sumita Misra was associated with the clarification. This topic belongs to Haryana revenue administration and should not be confused with inheritance after death or with general stamp-duty rates.
