Gift Deed Registration Procedure in Punjab in 2023 

In urdu, Gift Deed is called “Hiba Nama” ہبہ نامہ. This article will explain about the procedure for registration of gift deed of an immovable property and documents required for registration of a gift deed. 

Before, I explain the procedure and documents requirement for a Gift Deed registration, I would like to explain about the terms which are used in a Gift Deed like Donor, Donee,  Gifted property. 

 “Donor” is a person who gifts out his/her property while “donee” is the person, in whose favour gift is made. The property being gifted is called “Gifted Property”.  

Donor meaning in urdu is “Wahib” واہب . Donee meaning in urdu is “Mohoob Elaih” موہوب الیہ۔. Gifted property meaning in urdu is “Jaidad Mouhooba”جائیداد موہوبہ  ۔ 

Let’s know the procedure and required documents for a Gift Deed Registration. 

Procedure for Gift Deed Registration 

A Gift deed registration requires following steps to be taken.

1. Arrange ownership documents of property being gifted
2. Pay Stamp Duty and other taxes associated with registration of a Gift Deed.  
3. Get a  Gift Deed prepared on Stamp Paper by visiting any lawyer or professional Deed Writer with all the documents of property and CNICs.
4. Photocopy the documents as per requirement.
5. Place signatures/ thumb impressions on the required places.
6. Go to relevant/concerned office of Sub-Registrar along with all documents, Donor, Donee and their at least witnesses.
7. Photographs will be taken, verification of CNIC will be done.
8. Place signatures/ thumb impression in the relevant register maintained in the office of Sub Registrar or any other document and make statement before the Sub Registrar
9. Muharrar/ concerned person of Sub Registrar office will issue a Receipt regarding submission of the Gift Deed for registration.
10. After few days, Gift Deed will be registered and signed by the officer/sub registrar

After few days, you can collect the registered Gift Deed producing the receipt given to you at the time of making statement / submission of documents.

Mutation after Gift Deed / Hiba Nama(ہبہ نامہ)  in Punjab 

If Mouza of the property mentioned in the Gift Deed  is computerized, you need not to go to the Land Record Centre/ Arazi Record Centre for  entry/ sanctioning of mutation on the basis of Gift Deed. In such case, the staff of office of Sub Registrar sends the relevant document to concerned Arazi Record Centre for entry of mutation and its sanctioning by Assistant Director Land Record (ADLR). Hence mutation after Gift Deed is entered/sanctioned automatically.

 

(However, It is recommended to visit concerned Arazi Record Centre to know the update of mutation on the basis of Gift Deed to avoid problems in future)

 

If Mouza of the property mentioned in the Gift Deed is not computerized, and its record is still being maintained by Patwari Halqa, then you must visit the Patwari concerned and request him to enter the mutation and get it sanctioned by Revenue Officer / Tehsildar concerned.  You should keep yourself in touch with the Patwari or other revenue staff till  sanctioning of mutation by Revenue Officer/ Tehsildar.

 In this way, process of registration of gift deed is done.
