Where consideration for immovable property is paid wholly or partly through banking channels on or before the allotment or agreement date, the proviso to section 56(2)(x)(b)(B) requires stamp duty value to be taken as on that date, not the registration date. The lower authorities' reliance on registration-date valuation was treated as inconsistent with that proviso.
