This document is most commonly used when a person dies without leaving behind a will and all siblings end up inheriting the property. Unlike a gift deed, you can draw the relinquishment deed for monetary consideration.
Limitations

Transfer does not include gifting. When you relinquish property in exchange for money, the transferor will get capital gains.
-
The buyer will pay tax on the difference between stamp duty and consideration if the amount of consideration is lower than the value of stamp duty.

The stamp duty value will be the sale price of the property if you give it up without any consideration.
