Why you need it

When you need it

An heir with an already-vested, recorded inherited share gives it up to another heir or co-owner — unlike a pre-administration disclaimer (no vested right yet), this is a release of a vested share (Article 55; section 17(1)(b)). State the deceased, date of death, succession basis, heirship record, and both parties' interests. Hindu intestate succession runs under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 — identify any other personal-law regime. A mere no-objection otherwise leaves the heir's title technically alive.

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: Article 55, Schedule I-A, Indian Stamp Act 1899 — duty is remitted IN WHOLE on a lifetime transfer to a "blood relation" (child, grandchild, brother, sister; parent/spouse NOT covered — Order S.O.28/C.A.2/1899/S.9/2014); otherwise no published rate — ask the Sub-Registrar. Duty runs on consideration or Collector rate, whichever higher. Chandigarh: blood-relation transfers are exempt; its calculator shows Rs 15 (simple release) or 8%/6% (unancestral, in/outside MC area) — confirm first. Stamp at signing (section 17); understamped, inadmissible until cured (section 35).

Registration

Compulsorily registrable under section 17(1)(b) for a vested immovable share; present within four months (section 23). Fee: Punjab 1% (min Rs 50, max Rs 2,00,000) plus Rs 200 pasting; Chandigarh 1% capped at Rs 10,000 plus Rs 20 pasting.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: This deed works as a release of an already vested immovable inheritance. Article 55 applies and section 17(1)(b) requires registration. Where the Hindu Succession Act applies, sections 8-16 contain the principal intestate rules and section 19 addresses succession by two or more heirs. The stamping note sets out the Article 55 position, including the Punjab blood-relation remission, and the registration note gives the fee.
