The trust is having number of branches situated at different cities of India.It collects fees from students to the tune of Rs 1,00,000/- per annum.

The trust wants to purchase land at various places for establishing new branches and expansion of its activities.

The question lies at what value the land should be brought into books.Either at stamp duty value( Rs 25000)or the price which it has paid for the land(Rs 25,00,000)

If value shown at Rs 25,00,000/- what sources shall it show to avoid deviations from provisions of Income Tax.
