Q.
If a property in Chennai where the stamp duty is very high (13%) a buyer wants to mention lesser value for the purpose of reg and pay actual value by bank, Is it allowed? If any lapses are found later who is liable - buyer or seller?
The government introduced Section 56(2)(x) in the Income-Tax Act in 2017 as a measure to counter tax evasion by undertaking transactions at lower than fair values. Hence, there could be a possibility where the difference between the stamp value and actual consideration is taxed in the hands of seller as well as the buyer.
