Deemed valuation under Section 50C leads to tax on the difference when stamp duty value exceeds agreement value.
Section 50C deems the stamp duty valuation as the full value of consideration where it exceeds the agreement price, rendering the difference between stamp duty value and contract price taxable as capital gains. This applies irrespective of earlier advances paid at lower rates when the agreement is executed later at a higher stamped value, and is triggered frequently where builders declare lower agreement values for stamp duty purposes.
