02 April 2018 The cost of land will be Rs. 2 Cr along with the cost of stamp duty paid. Under Income Tax please refer section 50C wherein it is stated if value for stamp duty is higher than the actual cost, then value for stamp duty will be treated as the cost . However there will not be any change in the accounting entry but for calculating capital gains, etc the value for stamp duty shall be considered.

02 April 2018 Thanks for reply. Means accounting entry will be as follows :-

Land a/c ----- Dr 2 Cr
Stampduty a/c ------------- Dr
To Bank


Sir, have following doubt under income tax purpose

1) will 50c applicable ?
2) capital gain impact will arise when we sale the land and will be calculated on the basis of paid price, is it correct ?


Thanks
