details asked are:

I am married, The property of my father is a residence which is self purchased land on where developed with his savings. it is a non ancestral property.

I have 2 sisters. one is elder and married and other younger and married. as my father has some other property also which he wanted to give the shares as according to Muslim law. Even the present property which he is willing to gift to me will also be taken into consideration in the total share.

Inspite making share for my sisters for this property as its a residence ,he decided to gift me as a whole to avoid any disputes within family in future.

Total goverment value of the residence is 60,0000/-

Gift deed has to be done with a value of 1% which will be 60,000/-

Why does your Father wants to make Gift deed in your Favour. Let him make a will instead the only difference will be it will take effect only after his death and registration of will costs you from Rs100/- To Rs500/- for avoiding future disputes.
