According to Section 56(2)(x) of the Income Tax Act, if an immovable property is transferred for a consideration which is less than the stamp duty value, the difference between the stamp duty value and the actual consideration is taxable in the hands of the buyer as "income from other sources" There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the difference between the stamp duty value and the actual consideration is less than Rs. 50,000, then this provision won't be applicable. if the property is received as a gift or inheritance etc.
