 Gift under Transfer of property Act


Section 122 to section 129 talks about the concept of gift under Transfer of property act 1882

Concept of gift

The one who gives the gift is known as donor well the one who receives the gift is known as Donee .

Here, the donor can gift any movable or immovable property.For example ,in case of movable property a person can gift car and in case of immovable property a person can gift A house.The essential of this concept is that thr Donee does not have to give any consideration to the donor while receiving any such property.Transfer of any movable or immovable property out of affection and voluntary act , The act should not be influenced, forced.

Section 122 clearly mentions about existing movable or immovable property which means the property which can be gifted should be present and it cannot be dependent on a future or upcoming property..

In the case of Phulchand v. Lakhu The gift was made under influence and this was not valid

There should be no consideration from donee  to the donor.


Acceptance of gift

When the gift is being given both the donor and donee should be alive or living. The donor should be alive while giving the gift and the donee should be alive while receiving the gift. The donor should be of sound mind while giving the gift but the donee can receive gift even if it is a mentally retarded person.

Important- if the donee dies before acceptance, the gift is void.


Section 123 - transfer how affected

Such delivery may be made in the same way as goods sold may be delivered.


Caselaw - 

Kalyana Sundaram v. Krupa Moopanar

It was held that The gift becomes valid as soon as the Donee accepts it.

 

Section 124 

This section speaks about a valid and void gift.

Section 125

If a gift is made to 2 or more persons in this case people who accepts the gift would account as valid while for those who didn’t accept the gift it would be considered void.

Section 126- revocation of suspension of a gift.
