Is it necessary to have gift deeds executed between two parties (donor and donee) on stamp paper? Or can it be executed on normal paper too. Also is it compulsory to add a witnesses for the same? Does this applies to gift given to HUF A/C. Thanks in advance!

Execution of gift deed is not obligatory but it is better to have a gift deed in place on a stamp paper between a donor and donee duly signed by both. It is also better to have signature of witness. It will be useful for the purpose of Income Tax scrutiny.
