RECORD PARTICULARS
What is the deed execution date? __________
EVIDENCE OF TIMELY ACCEPTANCE
The letter records acceptance of the gift described in the registered or proposed deed. It should be kept with evidence that acceptance occurred while the donor was alive and capable of giving, because a later letter cannot retrospectively create acceptance after the statutory window has closed.
NO NEW TERMS
The accepting party does not use this letter to rewrite the gift, add consideration or introduce a burden absent from the deed. If the parties want to alter the transfer, they need the legal instrument appropriate to that change.
LEGAL BASIS
Punjab: Section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 requires acceptance during the donor lifetime while the donor is capable of giving. Section 123 requires the underlying immovable-property gift deed to be registered and attested by two witnesses; this letter is only evidence of acceptance. No statutory filing fee or appeal route applies to this separate letter.
Chandigarh: Sections 122 and 123 apply in the same way. This letter does not replace registration before the Sub-Registrar, UT Chandigarh or the later Estate Office update for a sector/estate property. No statutory filing fee or appeal route applies to the letter itself.
