13 December 2010At the time of wind up the company is going to transfer its immovable property to shareholder. Does it require registration of title deeds of immovable property in the name of shareholder under Registration Act, 1908 and will be liable for Stamp Duty??

Dear Friend,
Please note that for transfer of immovable property by a Company under Liquidation, title deed of immovable property in the name of shareholder under Registration Act, 1908 is required tobe registered and it will be liable for Stamp Duty.
On behalf of the company such Deed would be signed by the liquidator.
It may be informed that I am the Liquidator for a few companies under Voluntry Liquidation.
Regards,
Sunil K. Jain

Dear Sir,
Can you cite any reference like case laws or section which can substantiate the applicability of stamp duty on distribution of immovable property at the time of liquidation.
Thanking you

Dhiraj- transfer under liquidation has the same effect as trnasfer in normal course and attracts the same law, fee and procedure as applicable normally. You can refer the regn act and stamp act for the same. Correctly mentioned by Sunil sir that since all the assets adn liab are in the hands of liquidator, so it need to be signed by him on behalf of the co.
