Which of the following is not an essential ingredient of gift under the Mohammedan law?
A declaration of gift by the donor
Acceptance of gift, expressed or implied, by or on behalf of donee
Delivery of possession of the subject gift by the donor to the donee
A written deed of gift.
Answer and explanation
The correct answer is a written deed of gift.
Chapter 7 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 does not cover the gift under Muslim law; the Muslim Personal law governs the Muslim gift or Hiba.
The three essential conditions for a valid gift are: declaration of gift by the donor, acceptance of gift by the donee, and transfer of possession by the donor accepted by the donee. A written deed is not required.
