pls see my queries in my profile question based on following quest: Mr. Raj Kumar sold a house to his friend Mr. Dhuruv on 1st November, 2009 6 *^ for a consideration of Rs. 25,00,000. The Sub-Registrar refused to register the document for the said value, as according to him, stamp duty had to be paid on Rs. 45,00,000, which was the Government guideline value. Mr. Raj Kumar preferred an appeal to the Revenue Divisional Officer, who fixed the value of the house as Rs. 32,00,000 (Rs. 22,00,000 for land balance for building portion). The differential stamp duty was paid, accepting the said value determined. Assuming that the fair market value is Rs. 32,00,000, what are the tax implications in the hands of Mr. Raj Kumar and Mr. Dhuruv for the assessment year 2010-11 ? Mr. Raj Kumar had purchased the land on 1st June, 2006 for Rs. 5,19,000 and completed the construction of house on 1st October, 2007 for Rs. 14,00,000. Cost inflation indices may be taken as 519 for the financial year 2006-07, 582 -for the financial year 2007-08 and 632 for the financial year 2009-10.
