दानपत्र

Definition

A registered gift deed — the instrument by which land is transferred without consideration, most often within a family. Because it is a registered instrument it can ground a mutation and forms a link in a title chain, but it attracts its own stamp treatment and can be challenged on the usual grounds affecting any transfer, including capacity and the position of other heirs. A gift within a family does not extinguish the rights of heirs who were not party to it.

A registered gift deed.
