What goes wrong — Punjab and Mohali 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.
GMADA allotment conditions govern most sector plots
Greater Mohali Area Development Authority plots carry conditions on construction timelines and transfer. The Authority's own record must be updated separately from revenue mutation.
Unapproved colonies along the Kharar and Zirakpur belt
Rapid growth outside GMADA sectors produced colonies without approval or with partial regularisation. Building permission and loan availability are affected in ways a sale deed does not cure.
