Why you need it

When you need it

Gifting property to a charitable trust, without consideration — proves both a completed gift and the trust's authority to accept. Governed by ss.122-123: registration, two witnesses. Identify the trust's governing instrument, authorised trustee, resolution, charitable object. A condition must not be a mere power to revoke at will (s.126). Punjab authority property needs s.43(7); Chandigarh sector property goes through the Estate Office. No duty concession confirmed.

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: normally Article 33, 7.25% total. A trust isn't covered by the blood-relation remission — and s.2(24)(c) makes a charitable disposition a 'settlement', excluded from the gift article; Article 58 may apply instead. Confirm the article with the Sub-Registrar, or adjudicate under s.31. Reg. fee 1% (min Rs 50, max Rs 2L). Chandigarh: 5% (item 2); its blood-relation exemption can't reach a trust either — confirm at Sector 17. Reg. fee 1%, capped at Rs 10,000 plus Rs 20 pasting. Stamp before or at signing (s.17); unstamped is inadmissible until penalty is paid (s.35).

Registration

Compulsory (s.123, TP Act; s.17, Registration Act); 4-month window to present (s.23), limited extension (s.25).

Notarisation

Does not replace compulsory registration.

Witnesses
