If your property is fully constructed and has received occupation certificate, then there is no need to pay VAT. If your builder is insisting on payment of VAT, you may ask him the relevant section and clause under which VAT is payable.

Dear Sir,

You can gift the property to your brother ..There is no issue. Ideally, you should first register the property in your name and then you can gift it to your brother, if there is no extra stamp duty involved.
