A Relinquishment Deed is a legal document used to formally transfer a share in immovable property from one person to another, typically within family members. It is most commonly executed when a co-owner or legal heir wishes to give up their claim in favor of another co-owner or heir.
This deed can be executed with or without consideration (payment) and must be signed by:
- The Releasor (person relinquishing their share),
- The Releasee (person receiving the share), and
- Two witnesses.
Important Note: A Relinquishment Deed is mandatory to be registered at the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar Office.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION:
- Title deed (how the Releasor acquired the property)
- Property Tax Receipt
- eKhata
- Aadhaar or PAN (of both Releasor and Releasee)
REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE:
Context: A father and daughter jointly own a 3BHK flat in a multi-storey apartment in Bangalore (under BBMP limits). The father wishes to relinquish his share to his daughter out of love and affection, without any monetary consideration.
