Can my mother cancel a registered gift deed of property?

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Recently, I have replied to a similar question, which may please be seen: Cancellation or revocation of registered gift deed of immovable property.

As mentioned in the above reply, once a gift of an immovable property has been registered, it cannot be revoked by the donor at his or her own will. Further, if there is a clause in the gift deed that it could be revoked by the donor in future, then such gift deed itself is void.

In view of this, once an immovable property has been gifted to you by your mother by way of a registered gift deed, and by fully understanding the consequences of such gift, such gift cannot be revoked by her.
