Well, as you have got a Flat in Gift Deed from your Ex Husband and if you are in Maharashtra, then you have to pay Rs 200 as the Stamp Duty and 1 â„… as the Registration fees to the State Government Exchequer.

This will not attract tax. The required stamp duty is paid on transfer of the gift deed. Since it is considered as a gift out of natural love and affection and one spouse has already paid the required tax this will not attract further tax.
