Special Provision for Full value of Consideration :
The very purpose of this section is that undisclosed income arising as
Capital Gain should be taxed in the hands of the assesse.
The section states that :
• The asset is the Capital Asset (land or building or both)
• Value is less than the value adopted by authority of a State Government
for the purposes of section 48 the value shall be “The value so adopted or
assessed by Stamp valuation Authority shall be the Full value of the
Consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer”.
Deemed Sale Consideration – Sec 50C
suresh@sbsandco.com www.sbsandco.com +91 944088336643
The new proviso inserted by
Finance Act 2016 w.e.f
01.04.2017 is a rationale step
by Income Tax Simplification
Committee (Easwar
Committee) which removed
the hardship of assesse
Deemed Sale Consideration – Sec 50C
“Provided that where the date of the
agreement fixing the amount of
consideration and the date of
registration for the transfer of the
capital asset are not the same, the
value adopted or assessed or
assessable by the stamp valuation
authority on the date of agreement
may be taken for the purposes of
computing full value of consideration
for such transfer”
This amendment says stamp
duty valuation of property on
the date of execution of the
agreement to sell should be
adopted instead of the
valuation on the date of
execution of the sale deed if
the agreement date and
registration dates are different
