The facts, correct and cited
Gift deeds are charged identically to sale deeds in Bihar (Article 33/23), 6%+2%, gender-adjusted. There is NO reduced rate for gifts to blood relatives.
Cheaper family alternatives exist as different instruments: a Settlement deed (3%) or Partition of inherited property (₹50 stamp + ₹50 fee).
A gift deed is compulsorily registrable, like a sale deed, requiring physical presence at the Sub-Registrar.

Frequently asked questions
- Is gift deed stamp duty lower for family members in Bihar?
- No, this is a common myth. Bihar charges gift deeds identically to sale deeds regardless of relationship. If you want a cheaper option for a family transfer, ask about a Settlement deed (3%) or Partition (₹50+₹50) instead.
