24 November 2011 we have purcahsed a new property in mumbai. The maarket valuation for stamp duty is 80 appx. however the agreement value is 55 lakhs.....The ITO has questioned why the purchase price is low compared to market value? can the differnce or lower valuation be added back in purchasing parties income? section 50C will be applicable to seller of the propery ....how the purchaser is placed in such case?
