    Under Section 44 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882,

    a gift is defined as:
    A Transfer of any immovable property for nominal consideration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Voluntary transfer of immovable property by one person to another, without consideration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Transfer of property after death Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Transfer made under duress Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Transfer of movable property without consideration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 44 defines a gift as a voluntary transfer of immovable property by one person (donor) to another (donee) without consideration. The transfer must be accepted by the donee. Unlike testamentary dispositions (which take effect after death), gifts take effect immediately. Consideration is incompatible with a gift; if there is consideration, it ceases to be a gift.
