The Haryana government clarified that the stamp duty exemption on family property transfers now covers children of daughters, extending the benefit beyond sons.
The Haryana government has issued a clarification on the scope of its stamp duty waiver for family property transfers, stating that the exemption now extends to the children of daughters.
Previously, the waiver was understood to apply only to the children of sons, leaving daughters’ offspring outside the benefit. The clarification aims to remove ambiguity and ensure that all direct descendants, regardless of gender, can enjoy the reduced stamp duty.
The move is expected to ease the financial burden on families transferring property within the state, particularly in rural areas where property inheritance plays a crucial role in wealth preservation.
A government spokesperson said the decision aligns with the state’s broader objective of promoting gender equality in property rights and simplifying legal procedures for property transactions.
