06 December 2008 As per section 50C of The Income Tax Act,1961 where the consideration received or accruing as result of transfer by an assessee of a capital asset, being land or building or both, is less than the value adopted or assessed by any local authority of a state government for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect of such transfer, the value so adopted or assessed shall, for the purposes of section 48, be deemed to be the full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer. Stamp duty is levied on circle rate. Keeping in view the above points capital gains chargeable to tax will be calculated in the basis of consideration of Rs. Forty Lacs.
