The stamp duty payable during assignation of debt by Asset Reconstruction Companies – By Adv. Haaris Moosa

In Phoenix Arc Private Limited, Mumbai Vs. M/S. Cherupushpam Films Pvt Limited, Ernakulam (2023) ibclaw.in 48 NCLT (hereafter Phoenix ARC) the question raised before the NCLT, Kochi Bench was whether stamp duty has to be paid on a deed assigning debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).  The NCLT Kochi Bench has held that the ARC is bound to pay the appropriate stamp duty as per the relevant state legislation, in this case the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959 (KSA, 1959

The stamp duty payable during assignation of debt by Asset Reconstruction Companies

Adv. Haaris Moosa

Stamping has been used by litigators as a deus ex machina for long. Insufficient stamping determines the fate of a case quite independent of its facts or merits. The interplay of the stamping legislations with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IB Code, 2016), has not been adequately analysed by either courts or tribunals.  Stamping in India is regulated by both Union and State legislations since it is covered by Entry 91 of the Union List and Entry 63 of the State List. The Union legislation is the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (ISA, 1899) 1 and almost all the States have their own stamping statutes. The stamping legislations of old vintage have stood their ground even with the coming of avant garde legislations meant to streamline commercial transactions like the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, SARFAESI Act, 2002, Companies Act, 2013 and now the IB Code,2016.

In Phoenix ARC Private Limited, Mumbai Vs. M/S. Cherupushpam Films Pvt Limited, Ernakulam (2023) ibclaw.in 48 NCLT  (hereafter Phoenix ARC ) the question raised before the NCLT, Kochi Bench was whether stamp duty has to be paid on a deed assigning debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).  The NCLT Kochi Bench has held that the ARC is bound to pay the appropriate stamp duty as per the relevant state legislation, in this case the Kerala Stamp Act, 1959 (KSA, 1959) 2 .  The Hon’ble NCLT held that the applicability of KSA 1959 2 is not ruled out by the prescription under Section 8F of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (ISA, 1899) which exempts ARCs from paying any stamp duty on “ any agreement or other document for transfer or assignment of rights or interest in financial assets of banks or financial institution s” covered under section 5 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002.

KSA, 1959 in section 25, declares the assignment of a debt to be a conveyance, and the duty payable has been pegged at 8%. In the instant case, the Tribunal found that the assignment deed was to be stamped at 8% as per Section 25 of KSA, 1959 since the agreement was made in Kerala. Interestingly in the instant case, the stamp duty as per KSA, 1959 comes to Rs. 6,33,99,500/- while the assignment deed was found to be made on a non-judicial stamp paper of Rs. 500/-. Consequently, the Tribunal found the assignment deed to be unenforceable for insufficient stamping. Phoenix ARC breaks new ground in holding that the assignment of a debt to an Asset Reconstruction Company is liable to be stamped as per the concerned state stamping legislation.

In Essar Steel India Ltd. Committee of Creditors v. Satish Kumar Gupta [2019] ibclaw.in 07 SC  (hereafter Essar Steel ) the supreme court confirmed the decision of the NCLAT, [2019] ibclaw.in 109 NCLAT in affirming the decision of the NCLT in rejecting an application that suffered from insufficient stamping. And held that “Further, the submission of the Appellants that they have now paid the requisite stamp duty, after the impugned NCLAT judgment, would not assist the case of the Appellants at this belated stage. These appeals are therefore dismissed.” 3 Quite to the contrary, in Praful Nanji Satra v. Vistra ITCL (India) Ltd. (2022) ibclaw.in 550 NCLAT , the NCLAT went on to reject an argument for dismissal of an application for insufficient stamping, holding that the only issue that the NCLT in IBC proceedings can look at is whether there has been a default, and nothing further. It was also held that insufficient stamping is a curable defect. The effect of insufficient stamping has attracted contradictory judgments from the NCLAT and the Supreme Court. However, Phoenix ARC follows the correct law laid down by the Supreme Court in Essar Steel .

It is to be noted that proceedings under Code are non-adversarial. Any applicant seeking to initiate corporate insolvency proceedings is required to produce documents that satisfy the Adjudicating Authority (the NCLT) proving the default committed by the corporate debtor. Such an applicant is also required to ensure that the financial contracts on which they rely are legally sound and are not truncated. While structuring true sale transactions for assignment of debt (standard assets or NPA), compliance under the applicable stamping legislations must be ensured to avoid legal complications.

Important features of relinquishment deed, charges in delhi, who pays stamp duty, registration procedure for relinquishment deed, registration charges in haryana for relinquishment deed.

Relinquishment deed  is a legal document or an instrument according to which individual releases or gives up his rights of an heir in an ancestral property for another legal heir or co-owner of the property. When a person dies intestate, his property is divided among his legal heirs. In the case where an heir to the inherited property wants to give up his rights to another heir of the property i.e., son, mother-daughter, brother etc, a  Relinquishment Deed  may be formed.

• A Relinquishment deed may be formed for a movable or an immovable property and can be executed with or without consideration.
• It can only be executed in favour of a legal heir of the Joint Hindu Family and not a third person.
• The deed is irrevocable. It can only be cancelled if it is made without free consent and under coercion, mistake or fraud.
• A Relinquishment Deed must be in writing and should be registered.

For a Relinquishment deed, stamp duty is 6% in the case of men and 4% in the case of women. The stamp duty should be paid through Collector of Stamps/SDM.

Registration fee of a  Relinquishment Deed  is 1% of the total value of Deed along with Rs. 100/- pasting charges.

In the case of Relinquishment deed, the stamp duty is paid by the executant i.e., the person who transfers his interest and right in the certain property to the co-owner of the property.

1. The first step to register a Relinquishment Deed is to get an e-stamp paper from the nearest Stock Holding Corporation of India Centre Ltd. (SHCIL)  or their Authorised Collection Centre. The address of the nearest Centre can be viewed on the website of SHCIL-  www.shcilestamp.com . E stamp paper can also be downloaded from the aforementioned website.

2. Once the e-stamp is downloaded, an appointment is to be made for visiting the office of the Sub-Registrar. Appointment can be made through the website of the Revenue Department http://revenue.delhi.gov.in  or by visiting the office of the sub-Registrar.

3. On the day of the appointment, carry your appointment slip and visit the sub-registrar’s office and obtain your swipe card from the reception to enter facilitation centre.

4. When your turn comes, present the document to the Facilitator and follow any suggestions or changes made by him.

5. After visiting the Facilitator, the parties to the Relinquishment deed  must be present before the Sub-Registrar.

6. Once the documents are accepted by the sub-Registrar, parties must go to the biometric division for finger-printing and photographs.

7. The registration process is now completed; the parties can take their receipt.

Hi! Which document is required to be drafted to remove the name of the co-owner (younger brother) for a freehold registered apartment. This is not an inherited property (this property has been purchased by me and had to add brother name in order to get loan, however I have paid back the loan now). Please advise.

Your brother needs to gift his share, if already list in the original registration document. Otherwise it woud be 50% of the property vaue (Original Cost+Registration+Cost of improvement e.g. construction etc.). Or circle value, whichever is higher. The gift is considered as transfer and therefore stamp duty is applicable for the transfer value his share in the value of property. Since is he is your brother, gift tax may not be applicable. Otherwise 30% of value of his share has to be paid as gift tax. Another option (more popular) is that he writes an irrevocable will for his share in the property in favour of you and your legal heirs. And get the will registered. Since this method has been misused to avoid paying registration charges, understand that some restriction/taxes may be applicable in your state. Suggest that you may double check the appicability of taxes and registration charges with a practicing CA for both the cases.

Stamp duty on rent agreement in Delhi

By Vishul Sapra

9th May, 2023

Commonly known as Rent Agreement, Lease and License Agreement is a legal document that binds the owner and tenant. This agreement is meant to protect both parties in terms of their rights in case a dispute takes place. The agreement includes various basic details such as monthly rent, tenure of the stay, notice period, etc.

When it comes to the National Capital Territory, it is compulsory to get the rent agreement registered in case the rental period is over 11 months. If you are someone who is looking to rent a property in Delhi , this blog is for you. In this blog, we will discuss the Stamp Duty on rent agreement in India, the registration process, things you must keep in mind while registering the rent agreement, and more.

Let’s get started.

Cost of registering rent agreement in Delhi

There is a fixed amount of rent agreement charges in Delhi. In this section, let’s quickly look at the stamp duty & rental period charges applied in Delhi:

You must note that the value considered is the average annual rent payable, as stated in the document.

Steps for registering a rent agreement

Now that you know the stamp duty on rent agreement in Delhi, let’s quickly discuss the steps you need to follow to go through with the rent agreement process:

As a first step of the process, you should come up with a rental agreement draft that includes all the necessary details:

The owner’s name as well as the permanent residential address.

The tenant’s name as well as the permanent residential address.

Complete address of the property that is being rented.

Rental agreement’s tenure.

Important figures related to finance including maintenance, monthly rent, and the amount to be paid for the security deposit.

Lock-in period (if necessary).

Notice period required in case of vacating the property.

Any type of other terms or conditions that the owner or tenant may want to add.

Once the rent agreement draft has been verified by the tenant and the owner, you must print the draft on stamp paper. Talking about Delhi, traditional stamp paper doesn’t exist. You need to make an effort to get an e-stamp of the total Stamp Duty value calculated according to the table provided above. Then, you must get that draft agreement printed on a piece of paper.

The Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited popularly known as SHCIL regulates e-stamps in India and you can procure an e-stamp from a vendor registered with SHCIL. Other than that, you can also order it online, or get it from a SCHIL branch near you, or designated banks.

Moreover, you can pay online for the Stamp Duty of up to Rs. 500 and go through with the e-Stamping process without getting a physical stamp paper.

As a last step of the process, you must go to the Sub-registrar’s Office or SRO. The SRO you will have to visit will depend on the property’s jurisdiction for getting the rent agreement registered. There, you will have to pay the registration charges. Moreover, the tenant, owner, and witnesses will have to sign the registration document in the presence of the Sub-registrar. SHCIL’s website will help you locate your property’s SRO.

Documents required

The following are the documents required for a rent agreement:

Proof of ownership of the property including registration document, sale deed of the property, property’s tax receipt, and more.

Passport-size photographs of the tenant and the property owner.

Address proof of the property that is being registered.

Authorization letter provided by the company if the registration is being held under the name of a company.

Address proof of the tenant. (Original passport is required in case of foreign nationals).

The tenant’s photo ID proof. (Original passport is required in case of foreign nationals).

Photo ID proof and address proof of the property owner.

Registration amount’s demand draft.

Two witnesses alongside their photo ID proofs.

Consequences of not paying the stamp duty

Oftentimes, people try to avoid paying the stamp duty on rent agreement in Delhi and use normal stamp papers. In case there is no litigation, doing so will do you no harm. However, in case any disputes arise and the agreement goes to the court, the court can take temporary possession of the agreement due to the deficit of Stamp Duty paid.

The court can also fine you for an amount up to 10 times the original Stamp Duty. Thus, it is advised to pay the Stamp Duty amount during the registration process.

Points to keep in mind when making a rent agreement

The rent agreement document holds importance for both the landlord and the tenant. Thus, the following are a few vital points you must keep in mind while drafting a rent agreement:

The landlord has the power to include a clause in the rent agreement that states an increment in the rent up to 10% every three years while also being in conformation to the Delhi Rent Control Act.

The tenant has the right to receive the rent receipt for the rent payment.

The notice period needs to be mentioned by the landlord as well as the tenant.

Every detail of the rent agreement should be mentioned properly.

The rent agreement should include all the details related to fixtures and fittings.

You must ensure that your rent agreement in Delhi includes important factors such as provisions with respect to pets, provision for parking, permission to make structural changes, etc.

We hope this blog helped you understand rent agreement registration charges and all the other necessary details regarding rent agreement registration in Delhi.

Gifting a house property in India comes with important income tax and stamp duty considerations that individuals must take into account. In India, the stamp duty rates for gift deeds can range from as low as 2% to as high as 7% of the property value, depending on the state where the transfer is taking place.

However, it is noteworthy that many states in India offer waivers or significantly reduced stamp duty charges when the gift deed involves a transfer between blood relatives. This provision recognises the familial nature of such property transfers and aims to ease the financial burden on the parties involved.

Recent legislative changes, such as the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to introduce a standard stamp duty of just Rs 5,000 for property transfers among blood relatives, further highlight the evolving landscape of gift deed regulations in the country. These developments are intended to simplify the process and encourage intra-family property transfers.

Alongside the stamp duty implications, the gifting of a house property also has income tax ramifications under Section 56 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

A Gift Deed is a legal document that facilitates the transfer of ownership of property or assets from one individual to another as a gift, without any monetary exchange involved. This written instrument formalizes the voluntary transfer of property rights, where the giver, known as the "donor," transfers the asset to the recipient, referred to as the "donee," without expecting anything in return. Gift Deeds are commonly used for gifting real estate, cash, or other valuable assets, and they play a crucial role in estate planning by allowing individuals to pass on assets to their loved ones during their lifetime. The process of creating a Gift Deed involves drafting the document with relevant details, stamping and registering it as per state laws, delivering possession of the property, and executing the deed in the presence of witnesses to make the transfer legally binding.

• Clauses regarding liabilities, rights, and possession
• Delivery clause indicating the transfer of possession

The Uttar Pradesh government has made significant revisions to stamp duty and registration charges to boost revenue, setting a maximum stamp duty of Rs 5,000 for gift deeds, previously at 5% in Noida and 7% elsewhere in the state. Registration fees have also been adjusted from Rs 20,000 to one percent of the property value, impacting properties above Rs 20 lakh. Moreover, the government introduced stamp duty rebates under the PLEDGE scheme for private industrial park developers, offering up to 100% exemption for women entrepreneurs in specific regions, aiming to stimulate entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Gifts other than those falling under the exempt categories are taxable. This includes:

Monetary Gifts: Any sum of money exceeding Rs. 50,000 received by an individual or HUF is taxable as income from other sources.

Immovable Property: Gifts of land or buildings are taxable if the stamp duty value exceeds Rs. 50,000, unless received from relatives or on marriage.

Moveable Property: Prescribed movable property like shares, jewellery, or art, received without consideration exceeding Rs. 50,000, is taxable. Similarly, if the fair market value of such property exceeds the consideration paid by Rs. 50,000, it is taxable as income from other sources.

Key requirements for a property to be gifted in India are:

• The property can be either movable or immovable in nature.
• The property must be an existing, tangible asset, and not a future property.
• The property should be transferable under the law.

The stamp duty rate on a Gift Deed is calculated based on various factors, including the market value of the property, the location of the property, the relationship between the donor and the donee, and the specific regulations of the state where the gift deed is being executed. Different states in India have varying percentages for calculating stamp duty on gift deeds, ranging from 2% to 7% based on the property value. Additionally, some states offer exemptions or concessions on stamp duty for gifts between family members or blood relatives. The stamp duty rate can also be influenced by the gender of the property owner, the type of property being gifted (residential or commercial), and the age of the owner, with senior citizens often receiving subsidies on stamp duty charges. Understanding these factors and consulting legal experts can help individuals accurately determine and comply with the stamp duty rate applicable to their specific gift deed transaction.

The responsibility for paying stamp duty on gift deeds falls on the the giver of the gift along with other associated charges at the time of registration of the deed. Since any payment from the receiver of the gift would amount to paying money to the owner and bring the transaction into the area of a 'sale' under the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, the doner pays the stamp duty and registration fee on gift deeds.

In India, to ensure it is valid and enforceable Gift Deeds must adhere to specific legal requirements. Firstly, the Gift Deed must be executed on non-judicial stamp paper of appropriate value as prescribed by the Stamp Act of the relevant state where the property is situated. This ensures that the document is legally binding and serves as evidence of the transfer of ownership. Additionally, the Gift Deed must be registered with the Sub-Registrar of Assurances. Registration lends legality and authenticity to the transfer, making it effective against third parties and preventing disputes regarding ownership in the future.

Further, the Gift Deed must contain essential details, including the identities of the donor and donee, a precise description of the property being gifted, and a clear statement of transfer without any consideration. Acceptance of the gift by the donee must also be explicitly mentioned in the deed. These elements contribute to the clarity and completeness of the document, minimizing the scope for ambiguity or misinterpretation. Compliance with these legal requirements not only safeguards the interests of both parties involved but also upholds the integrity of property transactions within the legal framework of India.

Gift Deeds offer several advantages for both the donor and the donee:

Transfer of Ownership: Gift Deeds facilitate the legal transfer of ownership of property from the donor to the donee without the need for monetary consideration. This allows individuals to gift assets to family members, friends, or charitable organizations as a gesture of goodwill or inheritance planning.

Tax Benefits: In India, gifts received from specified relatives, including parents, siblings, and spouses, are exempt from income tax under certain conditions. By utilising Gift Deeds, individuals can transfer assets to their loved ones while minimising tax liabilities for both the donor and the donee.

Avoidance of Probate: Unlike assets transferred through wills, gifts made via Gift Deeds do not require probate proceedings after the donor's demise. This expedites the transfer process and allows the donee to gain immediate possession and control of the gifted property.

Asset Protection: Gift Deeds can be used strategically as part of asset protection planning. By transferring assets to family members or trusts through Gift Deeds, individuals can shield their property from potential creditors or legal claims.

Family Harmony:  Gift Deeds help foster harmony in the family by allowing individuals to distribute assets equally among family members which can prevent disputes and conflicts over inheritance after the donor's demise, promoting peace and understanding within the family unit.
