Its a genuine business transaction with consideration paid by the son to proprietor father thru a/c payee cheques. only that proprietor father offered a discounted price of Rs 300/ sqft less than the market price.
Initially the payments from the son was in the form of unsecured loan to his proprietor father without written loan agreement .Later both thought it prudent to convert the unsecured loan into Agreement to sell.
Kindly advise if the above is or is not a genuine business transaction.
THANKS!

12 February 2013 Discounts can be passed in normal course of business and it is the business to decide quantum of deduction. Unless you purchased the property at throw-away prices, there should not be any issue.
