Section 43CA(3) permits adoption of the stamp duty value on the agreement date where the agreement and registration dates differ, provided consideration or part thereof was received through prescribed banking or electronic modes on or before the agreement date. The Tribunal found the assessee's documents, including allotment letters, registered sale agreements, possession letters, completion-related records and financial statements, had not been properly examined, and held that the 10% safe harbour claim also required verification.
