INTRODUCTION
Vested Interest here means on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created in favor of a
person without specifying the time when it is to take effect, or in terms specifying that it is to
take effect forthwith or on the happening of an event which must happen, such interest is vested,
unless a contrary intention appears from the terms of the transfer. A vested interest is not
defeated by the death of the transferee before he obtains possession.

Contingent Interest here means, on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created in favor
of a person to take effect only on the happening of a specified uncertain event, or if a specified
uncertain event shall not happen, such person thereby acquires a contingent interest in the
property. Such interest becomes a vested interest, in the former case, on the happening of the
event, in the latter, when the happening of the event becomes impossible.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The Objective of this research is to find the ingredients of the Vested Interest and Contingent
Interest , to find the differences and similarities between these two kinds of interests.

EXCEPTIONS

Under Vested Interest : Where, on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created in favor of a
person without specifying the time when it is to take effect, or in terms specifying that it is to take effect
forthwith or on the happening of an event which must happen, such interest is vested, unless a contrary
intention appears from the terms of the transfer. A vested interest is not defeated by the death of the
transferee before he obtains possession.

Under Contingent Interest : Where, under a transfer of property, a person becomes entitled to an
interest therein upon attaining a particular age, and the transferor also gives to him absolutely the income
to arise from such interest before he reaches that age, or directs the income or so much thereof as may
be necessary to be applied for his benefit, such interest is not contingent.

The project involves doctrinal forms of sources. As far as the doctrinal sources are concerned,
they primarily include the web, books and newspaper articles.

The method of writing this project will be a mixture of descriptive and analytical. Various
literary works from the library and internet were used as reference for making this rough draft as
well.
