The Haryana government clarifies that a stamp duty waiver for lifetime transfers of family property also covers grandchildren through daughters. The clarification resolves ambiguity around an earlier 2014 notification and states that the exemption applies to transfers where the line of succession runs via a daughter to her children.
According to NDTV, the clarification extends the full stamp duty exemption to these family property transactions, addressing confusion about whether grandchildren received through daughters fell within the scope of the waiver. The notification language is reported as having led to differing interpretations after the 2014 directive. Haryana’s update is presented as a corrective measure to ensure the waiver is applied consistently for beneficiaries in the second generation.
The reporting focuses on the administrative clarification rather than any new policy direction, emphasizing that the intent is to remove uncertainty from the earlier framework governing stamp duty relief on such intra-family property transfers.
