09 February 2016 As per the Merriam Webster's dictionary meaning the term 'gift' is 'something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation'. Hence, sale residential house for inadequate consideration cannot be treated as gift, even the difference amount between Stamp value and actual consideration.

Also refer the definition of 'gift' as per section 122 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.
“Gift” is the transfer of certain existing moveable or immoveable property made voluntarily and without consideration, by one person, called the donor, to another, called the donee, and accepted by or on behalf of the donee. Acceptance when to be made.—Such acceptance must be made during the lifetime of the donor and while he is still capable of giving. If the donee dies before acceptance, the gift is void.
