Relinquishment Deed Services

Legal heirs/co-owners release their undivided share in inherited property to other family members through registered relinquishment deed. No monetary consideration required unlike gift/sale deeds. Lower stamp duty + irrevocable transfer of UDS rights in flats/plots.

Perfect for: Siblings releasing share to brother/sister, mother releasing to children, co-owners partitioning family property.

Why Choose Relinquishment Deed Over Gift Deed?

A relinquishment deed is specifically designed for legal heirs or co-owners relinquishing their share in jointly inherited property, ensuring compliance with Indian property laws. It avoids the higher stamp duty and tax implications of gift deeds, which require monetary or nominal consideration.

Key advantages include:

  • No monetary consideration required purely a family release of rights.

  • Lower stamp duty in Delhi (₹200–₹1000 fixed, vs. 4–7% market value for gifts).

  • Mandatory registration at sub-registrar for legal validity and property document verification.

  • Transfers UDS in apartments, built-up area, and undivided land share permanently.

  • Ideal for property document verification online or during RERA checks, as it creates a clean title trail.

Who Can Execute a Relinquishment Deed?

Only specific parties qualify to ensure the deed's legality and avoid future disputes during land document verification or sale:

  • Legal heirs as per succession laws (Class I/II heirs after intestate death).

  • Co-owners with documented undivided share from prior inheritance or purchase.

  • All adult parties involved (minors need guardian court approval).

  • Excludes outsiders — cannot be used by non-heirs or for commercial transfers.

Common scenarios:

  • Siblings releasing share to one brother/sister in a Delhi flat.

  • Widow/mother relinquishing UDS to children in inherited plot.

  • Partition among co-owners of ancestral property for individual sale.

We verify eligibility using legal heir certificate and encumbrance certificate to prevent rejection at registration.
