Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
My father has gifted some farm land and a house to me through a deed. They are situated in a village and the pass book and tax assessment records are still in my father's name. He is paying taxes regularly. Do I need to get the pass books and records changed to my name? Is there a stipulated time period following the deed date within which I need to do this? Can I do the change whenever I wish?
