Gift Deed Registry (Hiba) in Punjab, Done Right
A gift of property means nothing on the record until the hiba nama is registered. This is a service we offer end-to-end: we get the deed drafted, handle the e-stamp challan, and manage the Sub-Registrar visit where donor, donee and witnesses sign. You start with a free consultation online — the service itself is hands-on.
Hiba, Hiba Nama, Intiqal — Three Different Things
People mix these up and it costs them at the counter. Here is the clean version:
Who Pays What on a Gift Deed
A gift has no sale price, but it is not free at the counter. Here are the 2026 rates for Punjab, split by who pays:
| Fee / Tax | Paid by | Average rate | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamp duty | Donee | 1% — same rate for urban and rural | Under Article 33 of the Stamp Act, on the property's valuation. No blood-relative discount — a gift to your own daughter pays the same 1%. |
| Registration duty | Donee | Small fixed amount | Set by the state; we confirm the current figure on WhatsApp before you file. |
| Advance taxes 236K / 236C | Exempt | None — family gifts | Genuine gifts between close relatives (spouse, parents, children, siblings) don't attract these FBR advance taxes. Gifts to non-relatives are treated differently — confirm at payment time. |
| Mutation (intiqal) fee | Donee | Fixed, nominal | For entering the transfer in the land record after the gift deed registry is done. |
From First Message to Registered Hiba Nama
Six steps covering the full gift deed registry. The first four happen from your phone; step five is the one visit that can't.
WhatsApp consultation
Start with a free consultation: send us the situation — who is gifting to whom, the relationship, the property, any complications (a donor abroad, a minor donee, possession not yet handed over). We take it from there — your exact document list, the real cost heads, and then we handle the filing.
Fard for hiba
Every gift deed registry starts from a fresh fard for the property being gifted — the record the Sub-Registrar works from. If you don't have one yet, arrange it here: fard for hiba.
Hiba nama drafted
The deed is drafted by a registered Arazi Moawin — donor and donee details, CNICs, the offer and acceptance, and the possession recital. Since October 2026, only registered deed writers with biometric machines may prepare deeds in Punjab.
E-stamp challan
We get the e-stamp challan generated in the donee's name and paid via PSID at any Bank of Punjab branch or banking app. A challan is single-use and time-limited, so we time it for when your file is actually ready.
Gift deed day at the Sub-Registrar office
This is the one physical visit — and it's part of the service. Donor and donee appear with original CNICs, the deed is signed before two adult witnesses, and biometric verification of both parties is completed. We manage the visit so it takes one trip, not three. The deed must reach the Sub-Registrar within four months of signing.
Registered deed in hand, then intiqal
Your registered deed is issued with its official record number. Then the intiqal: the donee's name enters the land record at the ARC on the basis of the registered deed — confirm locally whether your tehsil processes it automatically.
What Gift Deed Day Needs From You
A gift deed gets rejected at the counter for boring reasons — a missing challan, an expired fard, a witness without a CNIC. This is the full list; we check yours against it on WhatsApp first.
Always required
- Original CNICs — donor, donee, and two adult witnesses
- Fard for hiba — the property record for this gift
- Paid e-stamp challan in the donee's name
- The drafted hiba nama, ready for signing
- Possession handover arranged — the donee takes qabza
When they apply
- Power of attorney — if someone signs for the donor or donee, it must be verified by the Sub-Registrar
- Overseas Pakistani donor or donee? — a mission/MOFA biometric route exists for overseas property transfers; whether gift deeds are processed through it depends on the mission, so confirm with PLRA first
- Green Property Certificate — was mandatory for gifts from July 2026, withdrawn weeks later; confirm with your ARC/Sub-Registrar whether your tehsil asks for one
- Gift to a minor? — a father or guardian can receive possession on the minor's behalf
- Old unregistered gift paper? — since the Jan 2026 oral-gift ban, only a registered deed counts; bring it and we'll tell you where you stand
Why People Message Us Before Gifting Property
We say what the counter won't
No blood-relative stamp-duty discount, possession still required after registration, the deed must reach the Sub-Registrar within four months — the small print that turns into a rejected filing. We tell you upfront.
One visit, zero wasted trips
Your file is checked on WhatsApp before gift deed day. The most common reason filings get bounced is a document nobody flagged — we flag it early.
The possession problem, handled
Registration alone doesn't complete a hiba — delivery of possession does. We make sure the deed, the witnesses and the handover line up, so the gift can't later be challenged as incomplete.
A real office, a real number
We're on Faisalabad Road, Jaranwala, near the Nadra Office — and on WhatsApp at 0334 1227222. Start with a free consultation; we'll tell you exactly what your gift deed needs before anything is filed.
