Stamp duty and registration chrgs is always required to be paid. as per the IT Act, the person receiving the gift ( if not on ocassion of marriage of the receiver) will be liable to pay income tax on the value of property under the head of "income from other sources".
P.S. property is taxable only if the value exceeds Rs. 50,000
