Hello Experts, I want a legal opinion. I was having a conversation with my friend and he told me that in certain situation clear title of property can be transferred from one person to another without Registry and without paying any stamp duty. eg. Partnership firms property. If a Plot is owned by a partnership firm with some partners. If the plot is brought by reconstituting the partnership firm by getting our names added in the partnership firm and retiring the existing partners in the partnership firm. By this process--- PLOT CAN BE BROUGHT BY NOTARISED PARTNERSHIP DEED ONLY NO REGISTY IN SUB REGISTRAR NEEDED NO STAMP DUTY HAS TO BE PAID TO GOVERNMENT . CLEAR TITLE WILL BE TRANFFERED BY THIS PROCESS I Don't what law says, BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE??????
