Issues: Whether the addition made by adopting the stamp duty value or the DVO valuation for computation of long-term capital gains under section 50C was sustainable.
Analysis: The assessee sold agricultural land for the declared consideration, while the stamp duty value was higher and the DVO valued the property at a figure above the declared consideration but below the stamp duty value. The variation between the declared consideration and the DVO valuation was found to be less than 15%, which was treated as a tolerable difference in valuation matters. The DVO's valuation was also found to rest on a hypothetical development approach rather than valuation of the land on its existing condition, and the direction to adopt the stamp duty value was held to be contrary to the statutory scheme.
Conclusion: The addition under section 50C was deleted and the declared sale consideration was directed to be accepted for computing long-term capital gains, in favour of the assessee.
Final Conclusion: The assessment addition and the appellate direction enhancing the sale consideration could not be sustained, and the assessee's appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the valuation difference is marginal and the departmental valuation is founded on an impermissibly hypothetical basis, the declared consideration cannot be substituted under section 50C for computing capital gains.
