12 June 2014 1. relinquishment in favor of family member is anyways covered under 56(2)(vii). So no tax liability arise.

2. it is always preferable that you register the deed

14 June 2014 Deed of relinquishment is treated as Gift and for that you have to pay the stamp duty and as this relates to immovable properties it has to be compulsorily registered. After registration do not forget to get the properties mutated in your name and collect the certified copy of the mutation done in your favour.

Since the gift is from close relatives no capital gain is applicable
