Property Transfer To Wife
Transferring property to a spouse in Haryana is a common step for estate planning, loan structuring, or securing a partner's future. A spouse is a specified relation, so a gift deed or transfer deed attracts concessional stamp duty, and registering property in a wife's name may additionally benefit from Haryana's lower stamp duty rate for women. A properly drafted, registered deed followed by mutation keeps the record clean.
