Celebrity Siblings Extend Generosity: Gifting Property to Family Members

Popular celebrities Alia Bhatt and Kangana Ranaut have showcased their sibling love by generously gifting properties to their family members. In a heartfelt gesture, Alia Bhatt transferred two luxurious flats in Juhu to her sister, Shaheen Bhatt, through a gift deed last year, located in the prestigious Gigi Apartments. This act of generosity exemplifies the bond shared between the Bhatt sisters.

In a similar vein, Bollywood icon Kangana Ranaut gifted four opulent flats to her siblings and cousins in Chandigarh a few years back. The under-construction luxury apartments were a gesture of familial love and financial security extended to her sister Rangoli Chandel, brother Aksht, and two cousins. This act of benevolence highlights Ranaut’s commitment to her family’s well-being.

The act of gifting property to siblings is not just limited to the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry—it extends to legal considerations and financial implications. ZEUS Law Associates, a prominent legal firm, emphasizes the importance of executing such property transfers appropriately to ensure legal compliance and financial prudence.

States like Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh have introduced stamp duty exemptions for property transfers among immediate family members, including siblings. Jayshree Navin Chandra from ZEUS Law Associates highlights the monetary benefits and legal clarity provided by these exemptions in facilitating hassle-free property gifting.

Legal experts Mona Dewan, Soumya Banerjee, and Prashanth Shivadass underscore the relevance of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and state-specific regulations in governing property gifting transactions. From the vibrant landscape of Maharashtra to the bustling streets of Bangalore, the legal nuances of property gifting to siblings vary across different regions.

As Bollywood stars set the precedent for familial generosity, ordinary individuals too can navigate the legalities and financial implications of gifting property to their siblings. The bond between siblings, like Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt or Kangana Ranaut and her siblings, transcends real estate transactions, embodying the essence of familial love.
