This discussion clarifies stamp duty implications for monetary gifts to a daughter in Maharashtra. It confirms that no stamp duty is applicable on monetary gifts, especially those transferred via bank transfer, regardless of the amount. While registration is generally not required for monetary gifts, it's advisable to execute a gift deed on plain or low-value stamp paper (Rs. 5-10) for record-keeping, and consider notarisation for future reference. Cash gifts exceeding Rs. 2 lakhs are not permitted, but bank transfers are fully allowed.

In such a case bank transfer allowed without limits. No stamp duty applicable in this case. Stamp duty applicable only in case of gift of immovable property.
