For applying s.56(2)(vii)(b), the proviso requires an agreement fixing consideration, identification of stamp duty value as on the agreement date, and part payment by a non-cash mode on or before that date. The allotment letter, containing agreed terms, identified the specific flat, fixed the consideration and payment schedule, and conferred exclusivity; it was enforceable as a valid contract under s.10 of the Contract Act, supported by part payment through banking channels.
