Mis-declaration and Concealment: confiscation affirmed, transaction value re-determined and mandatory penalty sustained; redemption allowed on payment...
The Tribunal held that the enhancement of the stamp duty valuation tolerance band from 5% to 10% was a curative, beneficial amendment applicable to A.Y. 2018-19, because it only relaxed the rigour of a deeming provision and did not create a new charge or fresh burden. It further held that the deeming fiction under section 56(2)(x)(b)(B) could not be invoked where the difference between the purchase consideration and the stamp duty value was 7.44%, being within the 10% band. The addition was deleted.
