Necessary constituents of a valid gift are offer by the donor, acceptance by donee and delivery of possession---Any infirmity in proving such constituents vitiates the validity of gift transaction---Bounden duty of the donee/beneficiaries of the transaction to prove the validity of gift such as the offer made by the donor and acceptance of the offer of gift by the donee as well as delivery of possession of gifted property through believable evidence with exact information of day, date, time and presence of the witnesses.
Three important pre-requisites of a valid gift are an explicit offer of the gift by the donor, acceptance of the gift by the donee and delivery of possession under the very gift to the donee---Said conditions are mandatory in nature and absence of any ingredient renders the very gift invalid.
