Haryana Clarifies Stamp Duty Exemption to Include Daughters' Children in Property Transfers
The Haryana government has clarified that its 100% stamp duty exemption on lifetime immovable property transfers within families now explicitly includes grandchildren through daughters. This follows a corrigendum issued in July 2026 to address ambiguity in the Hindi version of a 2014 notification, which previously mentioned only a son's children. The correction ensures equal treatment for daughters' children and provides retrospective legal clarity across state revenue and registry offices, facilitating property transfers without stamp duty for eligible family members.
