Legal Question in Family Law in India

Gift Deed - Name of Property

In a mutual consent divorce, my spouse gifted a property to my minor child with me (the mother) as a guardian. Am I eligible to pay any tax for the same? Whose name do I register the house in for purpose of electricity and telephone bills - the minor child or the guardian? Whose name would the actual house be in for paying the house tax, etc

Re: Gift Deed - Name of Property

The Property is in your child name.

You have to maintain the property on behalf of your child.

Your child name will be mutated in the Municipal and revenue records and your name will be shown as guardian only.

YOu have to pay the property tax in the name of Minor, and get the name changed in Electricity department, as for as the Phone bill if the child uses this then the phone bill could be paid in the name of the child otherwise get your name registered in the telephone department.
