08 February 2016 Yes, the difference amount of Rs. 8 lakhs will be treated as other income in the hands of transferee u/s 56(2)(vii) in case transferee is non-relative to the transferor. At the same time, the transferor is liable to pay capital gains tax by considering full value of consideration as Rs. 20 Lakhs as per section 48.
