Why you need it

When you need it

You want to undo an earlier gift — but a completed gift can't simply be cancelled for a change of heart. Section 126, Transfer of Property Act 1882 allows revocation only where donor and donee agreed a specified event (not the donor's mere will), or on contract-rescission grounds (short of want/failure of consideration) — nothing else works. Quote the original registered gift and the exact clause/ground relied on. If the donee disputes it, don't state title has already vanished — court relief may be needed. Align it with the Sub-Registrar and the Punjab authority or Chandigarh Estate Office record. Don't create a donor-at-will power section 126 rejects.

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/Chandigarh: Article 17 applies to a cancellation instrument only if attested; the precise duty for this revocation pattern wasn't confirmed. Buy the stamp on or before signing (section 17, Indian Stamp Act 1899); if the Sub-Registrar can't say which article applies, get it adjudicated by the Collector first (section 31). An understamped instrument is inadmissible until the deficiency and penalty are paid (section 35).

Registration

Punjab/Chandigarh: required where the instrument itself lawfully extinguishes rights from the registered gift (section 17, Registration Act 1908); section 23 gives four months to present it.

Notarisation

Punjab and Chandigarh: Notarisation does not cure the absence of a lawful section 126 ground or replace registration/court relief.

Witnesses

Punjab/Chandigarh: two witnesses for the attested cancellation record; section 126 validity is independent of attestation.
