Can property GPA holder sell property to his son? Is it valid?


25-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)

"A" got the property from "B" through registered GPA. Now "A" wants to sell the property to third person. Question is : Would the transaction be valid, if "B" doesnt come for registration? Because, we dont know where B is? Also can "A" sell the prperty to his kid, by paying the stamp duty charges? Some of them said that, selling the property to kids may not be valid , Since A is GPA holder. In the GPA, it says A can sell it to anyone including family. Pls commment

If the gpa is valid and recognized under law, certainly it is valid, you need not require B s presence for the registration. He can sell it to any one and execute a deed as per gpa.

He can sell it to his family members as well

Hi sir/madam, it is not possible as per supreme court order. That GPAs are not valid transfers of ownership. Only registered sale deeds are.
But it’s not with retrospective effect; existing properties that have been purchased from a GPA holder (before October 11, 2011) won’t be affected. Even those who hold a GPA today can “regularize” it by converting it into a sale deed, but they can no longer sell it to a third party.
