Can a Settlement Deed be Canceled?

A donation settlement deed given to you by your mother, father, or another person cannot be canceled. Such cases are frequently seen in court.

This is because problems often arise with donation settlement deeds. Once a donation is made, it cannot be revoked or canceled. Additionally, the person donating the property must transfer ownership (indicating the land or property is legally theirs) to you. It is essential to have the land title (patta) changed to your name. Failing to transfer ownership and the land title poses a significant risk to the donation settlement deed.

If the donor has given the property with certain conditions and regulations, these conditions and regulations must be followed. If not, it can lead to complications. Donation is considered a gift given from one's own blood. There is also a provision for giving property to a third party. If donated to blood relatives, the stamp duty is 1%, and the registration fee is also 1% up to a maximum of 4000 rupees. If given to a third party, the registration fees are higher, with the stamp duty being 8% and the registration fee 1% up to 4000 rupees. These amounts may vary.
