Section 6 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 allows transfer of property unless that Act or another law provides otherwise. An unrestricted privately owned house can therefore be transferred. Section 6(d) excludes an interest restricted to the owner’s personal enjoyment, section 6(e) excludes a mere right to sue, and section 6(f) excludes a public office.

Incorrect: "Public office": Expressly non-transferable under Section 6(f) TPA.
