What goes wrong — Punjab and Ludhiana specifics
The exemption is notification-based, not statutory
Punjab exempts gifts to blood relatives from stamp duty, but the exemption and its relative list have been varied by notification over time. The position at the date of registration governs, and this is the single most important thing to confirm for a Punjab gift.
Daughters are coparceners in their own right
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters hold coparcenary rights equal to sons regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005.
Every co-sharer must join or the deed can be reopened
A partition omitting a coparcener or heir is vulnerable to challenge. Identifying the complete set is the substance of the work.
GLADA and improvement trust plots have their own records
Plots allotted by the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority or the improvement trust carry allotment conditions and an authority record separate from revenue mutation. Both need updating for a buyer's position to be complete.
Industrial and mixed-use conversions
Ludhiana's hosiery and engineering base means much property is on industrially classified land. Change of land use is a separate permission and cannot be inferred from existing residential occupation.

Partition Deed FAQs — Ludhiana
Is a gift deed to a blood relative really free of stamp duty in Ludhiana?
Punjab exempts gifts of immovable property to blood relatives from stamp duty, with only the registration fee applying. Because the exemption sits in notifications whose scope has changed over time, we confirm the position in force at the date of registration before advising — this is the single most important check for a Punjab gift.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers my Ludhiana property?
Ludhiana Central, East and West serve the city, with Khanna, Samrala, Payal, Jagraon and Raikot covering the district. Jurisdiction follows the property's location.
I have a GLADA plot — is the process different?
Yes. GLADA and improvement trust allotments carry their own conditions and record set. Revenue intkal does not update the authority's records, so a separate transfer application is required or the authority continues to recognise the previous allottee.
How long does intkal take in Ludhiana?
Typically 30–60 days after registration, filed with the Patwari and attested by the Revenue Officer after the notice period. Until it completes, the jamabandi still shows the previous owner.
