taken into account for determining the annual value. The Expected Rent shall be compared with

actual rent shall be the rent for the period for which the property was let out during the previous

months since the construction of property was completed only on 30.6.2022.

I. Tax consequences in the hands of Mr. Ramesh
As per section 50C, where the actual sale consideration is less than the value adopted
by the Stamp Valuation Authority for the purpose of charging stamp duty, and such
stamp duty value exceeds 110% of the actual sale consideration, then, the value
adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority shall be taken to be the full value of
consideration.
In a case where the date of agreement is different from the date of registration, stamp
duty value on the date of agreement can be considered provided the whole or part of
the consideration is received by way of account payee cheque/bank draft or by way of
ECS through bank account or through such other electronic mode as may be
prescribed, on or before the date of agreement.
In this case, since ` 15 lakhs is received through account payee cheque on the date of
agreement, stamp duty value on the date of agreement would be considered for
determining the full value of consideration.
Accordingly, in this case, capital gains would be computed in the hands of Mr. Ramesh,
for A.Y.2023-24, taking the actual consideration of ` 45 lakh of plot as the full value of
consideration arising on transfer of such plot, since the stamp duty value on the date of
agreement does not exceed 110% of the actual consideration.
Note – If it is assumed that Mr. Ramesh is a property dealer, the income would be
taxable as his business income under section 43CA
